Demeter Fragrance Library Earl Grey Tea is a Cologne launched in 1996, created by Christopher Brosius. Demeter Fragrance Library's Earl Grey Tea carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

It does what it says on the tin: a true Earl Grey experience, complete with that refreshing citrus zing and comforting tea base. A shame it vanishes quicker than a free biscuit, but it's a lovely, simple scent while it lasts.

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.

About

Opens with a brisk and bright burst of bergamot, sharp and zesty like a freshly peeled citrus. This vibrant top note gradually mellows, allowing a comforting, slightly bitter black tea accord to emerge, evoking the dry, unbrewed leaves. Some detect a subtle creaminess or a milky sweetness that hints at a London Fog, while others find it a straightforward, clean tea aroma that’s both invigorating and understated.
