The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 and crafted by Calice Becker, Imperial Tea 2024 by By Kilian is a harmonious blend of green tea and marine accords that evoke the essence of a crisp coastal morning. The fragrance opens with vibrant notes of bergamot and green tea, leading to a heart of jasmine sambac and freesia, before settling into a base of white musk and moss. This composition captures the freshness and elegance that By Kilian is known for, offering a sophisticated scent that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
For optimal wear, apply Imperial Tea 2024 to pulse points in the morning. The fresh top notes will brighten your day, while the musky base provides a gentle warmth into the evening. Avoid layering with other strong fragrances to let its complex layers unfold naturally.
