Maison Margiela Tea Escape is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Tea Escape opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Osmanthus, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Mate, Rice, and Milk. Maison Margiela's Tea Escape carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A creamy, fresh tea scent that's sadly discontinued, leading to much adoration and desperate searching. Many consider it superior to its successor, Matcha Meditation, hitting that perfect balance of minty freshness and lactonic comfort.

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.

While it's delightful for intimate settings like dates, its delicate projection means it might get lost in more formal, bustling environments.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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 perfect Japanese tea ceremony, bottled. Fresh mint and sparkling bergamot awaken the senses, easing into the rich, nuanced aroma of green tea warmed by the delicate sweetness of osmanthus and jasmine. The base is an utterly unique blend of creamy milk and comforting basmati rice, creating a soothing and subtly savoury lactonic dry down that's utterly addictive.
