The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, L Red Tea Vetiver by Clive Christian is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis. The composition opens with the brightness of bergamot and lemon, which gives way to the earthy notes of vetiver and rooibos tea, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and depth. The base of sandalwood and musk adds warmth and a subtle smokiness, rounding out the fragrance in a rich yet restrained manner.
Apply L Red Tea Vetiver sparingly; its moderate longevity means it will develop on your skin over time without needing multiple applications. The composition is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh yet earthy notes can shine.
