Androgynous Blue Powder
As I have already mentioned more often, I work in a tea shop and therefore know the scent of different teas very well. So far, I have not found a "tea scent" that really had an authentic teen note. The Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert smelled more like pure coumarin/hayflower/woodruff - which I happen to love, too, so I fell in love right away - but you really search in vain for real green tea notes there, too. Many other tea scents, for example the Green Tea Eau Parfumée just smell like iced tea, so primarily lemon aroma. Many tea fragrances follow this recipe and create an Earl Grey with bergamot in the top note and something tart in the base (patchouli or similar is also suitable). This is also quite nice and often smells good, but the tea is so lost in the process. I find that always such a pity, because if you sniff every day at pure tea, then you notice
what a wonderfully delicate hay-sweet, partly powder-peirisich-fruity scent of high-quality green tea has,
what a floral-pudgy, very, very delicate scent white tea has,
what a malty, bread-like, sometimes powdery, limey scent oolong tea has,
what a bright, fresh, tart-bizzy scent Darjeeling tea has
and what a dark-spicy partly sour-malty, smoky scent dark black tea (Assam, Ceylon, Java) has.
And all the flavors you add like that, lemon, orange, apricot, mango, raspberry etc. etc. just mask that and the tea loses its character.
Well, I started this comment, euphoric - you can probably guess - because Bvlgari's blue tea has a really authentic malty oolong tea note! The Se Chung Finest, an oolong tea from China, an inexpensive option, but full-bodied and of good quality. It is rarely bought, Oolong is not very well known in Germany. But there are lovers and the take then equal to half a kilo.
But, woe oh woe, the Oolong lingers unfortunately only very short. As the top note says goodbye, lavender & shiso fused to herbaceous freshness, can the lipstick accord, the iris powder nothing more the forehead offer.
Now it's getting very proper, mid-palate and shirt-blousy. Was Thé Bleu initially very unisex, a kind of powdery Fougère, for which they simply mixed women's and men's perfume from the 1920s together, it needs for the fragrance now already a man who likes powder, who loves flowers and has an androgynous charisma. (I would find the fragrance but great on a man, I like something like that).
Scents like Misia Eau de Parfum or L'Heure Bleue Eau de Parfum come to mind. For comparison, I have Misia times sprayed on: I find it actually similar, but Misia is again 5 levels above, sweeter, raspberry, elfin.
At least I understand the naming now, it's apparently to be understood as a timeline. First tea, then blue, in the form of IRISVEILCHENPUDER - capitalized, in yer face. I did wonder what blue tea was supposed to be.
I like it anyway. I haven't come across this combo before.
An echo of the lavender lingers into the heart, preventing the blue powder from becoming too feminine, a reminder of the oolong grounds the scent, keeping it grounded before it develops fairy wings.
