The Story
White Tea in perfumery.
White tea is not extracted from the leaves but rather from the young buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. Its scent is delicate and light, evoking a sense of freshness and greenness without being overly floral or herbal. This subtle aroma makes it versatile in perfumery, often used to create an airy and clean base.
In compositions, white tea typically occupies the middle notes, providing a soft, powdery backdrop that enhances the overall freshness of a fragrance. It pairs particularly well with musk, jasmine, sandalwood, iris, peony, and amber, creating layers that are both comforting and modern. Its presence often contributes to green, woody, and fresh accords.
To experience white tea in contemporary fragrances, try Elizabeth Arden's White Tea from 2017 or Kenzo Amour by Kenzo, which dates back to 2006. These compositions showcase the note’s ability to blend seamlessly with both floral and woody elements, creating a fresh yet complex aroma that appeals to modern sensibilities.
