Chris Collins African Rooibos is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. African Rooibos opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Orris and Tea, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Chris Collins's African Rooibos carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; some hail it as the ultimate tea scent-masterpiece, a truly unique and sophisticated aroma. Others, however, are left scratching their heads, finding it anything from 'musty' to 'baby wipes'. Love it or hate it, it's definitely a conversation starter.

About

African Rooibos opens with a lively, fresh burst of bergamot and spicy cardamom and pepper, quickly steeping into a rich tea heart. Orris lends a powdery elegance before settling into a warm, woody base of cedar, sweetened by tonka bean and a hint of the intriguing, honeyed immortelle. It's a complex journey from invigorating spice to comforting warmth.
