5 Best Smelling Tea Scented Perfumes

Tea isn’t used as a note in a ton of fragrances. Also, out of those, it generally isn’t the main attraction, and will usually be placed in a secondary role.  However, it is a note that can be a great change of pace when done well, and can definitely carry the show. In this post, I want to present five perfumes that feature a prominent tea note. Whether that’s: black, green, or white variations. 

What are the Best Perfumes that Smell Like Tea?

An Option for White Tea

Elizabeth Arden White Tea Eau De Toilette Spray, 1 oz.– Elizabeth Arden has released plenty of fragrance options with tea as the main note for years now. You could also go with the popular Green Tea, but I’ll give this one the nod, as this one goes with the more unique white tea. 

Arden’s Green Tea was a lighter and fresher sort of scent. Meanwhile, White Tea utilizes some light aquatic notes, powdery iris, citrus, and amber in the base. 

White Tea is smooth, relaxing, and a well blended perfume with depth and plenty of strength to be noticeable. Very versatile and solidly performing perfume option that strongly features the ingredient we’re after.

Crisp and Cool Green Tea Fragrance

Creed Silver Mountain Water, 3.3 Fl Oz– Silver Mountain Water is usually marketed as a men’s scent, but it’s actually quite unisex. While it’s not my favorite fragrance from Creed, it does indeed feature a tea note that is absolutely worthwhile to try out. 

Silver Mountain Water is completely cool and crisp from the start. The citrus, black currant, and green tea notes combine to present a refreshing aroma at the top. Then, the tea will begin to take over, joined by base notes that give Silver more of a greenish/herbal kind of smell.

Not too heavy of a fragrance, but it does project well, and will usually last for around 8 hours on my skin. On the higher end, in terms of price, though one that can be a signature scent for the right person. Silver Mountain Water Review

Creamy Smooth and Herbal

Diptyque Eau Duelle Eau De Parfum– Eau Duelle goes much more in the herbal direction with its tea fragrance, than the others here on the list. While the other scents tend to be cool and fresh, this scent goes in a warmer and smoother route.

It has its moments of spice, plenty of vanilla, and its tea note that is present throughout. Not too sweet, but creamy, woody, and paired with a slightly salty amber note. The spiciness kicks things off, before it mellows out further into the wear.

Then, it finishes herbal and woody, with a light smokiness and that remaining vanilla giving it a creamy touch. The vanilla is nice and rich. Very interesting with a multi-faceted presentation and nice performance.

Energetic Citrus and Tea

Moschino Funny By Moschino For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.3 Oz- Moschino’s Funny opens up somewhat like Light Blue by D&G or the brand’s other fragrance, I Love Love. Though, the citrus is different However, it also has a green tea note that gives the fresh citrus perfume, an awesome infusion.

Green Tea, floral notes, and a musky base come through an give funny a fizzy and upbeat smell that is absolutely great in the spring and summer months. Does open up pretty sharp with currant and bitter orange leading things off.

The price is affordable and the performance is really good for this style of perfume. Moschino Funny is an uplifting fragrance for those wanting a nice use of tea.

Black Tea Amber

L’OMBRE DES MERVEILLES by Hermes, EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY 3.3 OZ– The Merveilles fragrances by Hermes are generally underrated in my opinion. The each bring something to the table and L’Ombre des Merveilles presents an awesome option for tea lovers.

The amber note that is found in this line of scents, is of course present throughout. However, this one goes woody and the black tea note is paired with incense to create a crisp and faintly smoky overlay of that amber base.

It dries down with a sweetness of amber/tonka bean, but never feels like a warm or enveloping fragrance. Instead, this one stays rather cool and light. The black tea note isn’t super heavy, but it is there for the duration.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
