Commodity Tea is an Eau de Parfum, created by Donna Ramanauskas. Tea opens with Mandarin, Honey, Blackcurrant, and Basil, settles into a heart of Oolong Tea, Rose, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Tobacco. Commodity's Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

A truly divisive brew, this one. Some find it a masterful, cosy tea; others get a masculine shaving cream or industrial cleaner. Not a safe blind buy, despite its apparent abundance at discount stores.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's generally suitable for casual and office wear, as it won't overpower. The cosy, relaxed nature makes it excellent for day-to-day use, though some find it too masculine or unique for formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Commodity Tea opens with a vibrant, complex burst of mandarin and herbaceous basil, sweetened by a subtle honeyed blackcurrant. The heart unfurls into a warm, aromatic oolong tea accord, gently intertwined with soft rose and a hint of creamy tonka bean. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli, smooth sandalwood, and a dry, nuanced tobacco, creating a comforting yet intriguing finish.
