Fragrance structure
How it develops
It opens cold and citric, lemon and bergamot cut with grapefruit, and clove arrives almost immediately — a warm spice landing before the freshness has finished its sentence. The heart is where the name earns itself: red tea and maté build a dry, tannic green that orange blossom softens without sweetening. The descent is gradual and resinous, vanilla and benzoin melting into labdanum and styrax until what remains is a warm, faintly smoky amber wrapped around the tea.
