The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014 and crafted by Calice Becker, Imperial Tea by By Kilian is an aromatic green fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh brew steeped in elegance. The composition opens with ozonic freshness that gradually transitions into a heart of white florals and green accords, creating an aura of crispness and sophistication. The base notes offer a warm, floral embrace that lingers softly on the skin.
Imperial Tea has moderate longevity and sillage, so two sprays will suffice. The ozonic top notes are fleeting but impactful, making it best suited for daytime wear when you want a light yet refined scent that evolves throughout the day.
