L'Artisan Parfumeur Tea for Two is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Olivia Giacobetti. Tea for Two opens with Bergamot, Star Anise, and Tea, settles into a heart of Gingerbread, Spicy Notes, Cinnamon, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vanilla, Honey, and Tobacco. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Tea for Two carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This cult classic is a divisive beast: a cosy, complex spiced tea many adore, but others find too smoky or medicinal. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, sadly now discontinued and mourned by its loyal fans.

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 its warm spicy and tobacco accords, this scent is perhaps too distinctive for an office, risking overwhelming colleagues. Its intimate, cozy nature makes it perfect for dates and casual autumn/winter wear, while its sophisticated dry-down allows it to be dressed up for formal events.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Tea for Two opens with a brisk, smoky black tea note, instantly transporting you to an old-world tea house. Soon, a vibrant burst of spiced gingerbread, warm cinnamon, and sharp ginger emerges, adding a festive gourmand touch. As it settles, the fragrance mellows into a comforting blend of honeyed tobacco and soft leather, maintaining a sophisticated depth throughout its journey. It's an atmospheric, aromatic journey from a steaming cup to a well-worn armchair by the fire.
