Rook Perfumes RSX/06: Tea Chest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Nadeem Crowe. RSX/06: Tea Chest opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Incense, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Oak, Leather, and Oakmoss. Rook Perfumes's RSX/06: Tea Chest carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite scent. Some reckon it's a gloriously gothic tea chest, others say it's just old wood or artificial smoke. If you're after a straight-up tea fragrance, look elsewhere, as the tea is more of a suggestion than a star here.

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.

Its deep, woody, and smoky nature makes it more suitable for informal, relaxed settings, especially in cooler weather, as reviewers noted. It's too heavy for the office and not sparkling enough for formal events or sport.

About

Imagine delving into an antique wooden chest, its dark oak and rosewood infused with the ghosts of forgotten teas. A rich, smoky incense hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the earthy depth of oakmoss and a hint of worn leather. It's a balsamic, woody embrace, with the barest whisper of bergamot to cut through the brooding warmth, grounding you in a scent that feels both ancient and comforting.
