Dossier Citrus Tea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Citrus Tea opens with Bergamot, Fig, and Tea, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Jasmine, Bay Leaf, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Incense, and Hay. Dossier's Citrus Tea carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive brew, this one. Some will find its sharp, woody tea character an elevated delight, others will dismiss it as 'grandma-like' or overly sour. For those who get it, Citrus Tea is a unique, long-lasting gem.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Despite its strong longevity and projection, many users found this suitable for office wear due to its 'work safe' interpretation of a complex scent. The fresh green accords lend themselves to casual and even some date settings, though its sharp initial notes and beast mode performance make it less ideal for formal events or sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Imagine a strongly brewed black tea infused with a squeeze of zesty bergamot, softened by the subtle sweetness of fig and peach. As it settles, a fresh, green depth emerges, weaving in earthy vetiver and bay leaf, underscored by a sophisticated whisper of tobacco and a hint of incense. It's an intriguing blend that stays fresh yet complex from start to finish.
