Improvisation

[KittyHawk]

White tea, fig, honey, and sweet olive.

All I can say is this: if you like white tea, you need to try this. I don't get much honey, but this is fresh from the mailbox, so I imagine with some time to settle it will shine through. I'm getting a little green fig around the edges, and maybe a smack of osmanthus, but overall this is a clean, super pretty white tea.

This is so lovely and fresh, perfect for spring and a must for any white tea lovers out there.

TL;DR: white tea white tea white tea

Fig! I love fig so that was the first thing I noticed out of the bottle. That creamy fig scent that I love so much in Eden. On however the fig is much less prominent and it becomes a bright, sparking, almost citrusy tea blend. Beautiful.

This is a wonderful, sweet, but not overpowering white tea scent. There is honey here, but it is light, not heady honey. The fruits play a supporting role in the background.

Tea and maybe fig in the bottle. Goes on as tea, but not a sweet one; it turns bitter quickly — maybe the olive? A little lemon shows up as it dries, but overall this is a cup of unsweetened white tea. No honey at all.

Yep!

 

This is so heavy on the white tea and it's so refreshing. If you love tea fragrances of any kind, don't hesitate on getting this. The honey gives it a subtle warmth and a little bit of that stickiness that honey brings to scents. I don't get a ton of fig in the wet stage, but on full dry down it smells just like the fig tree my Grandparent's used to have in their garden. I am liking it a lot and may contemplate a full bottle.

This starts out as a bright happy tea scent, and, amazingly, I don't get get much honey (something I usually amp). This drys down into "generic hairspray/beauty product scent" on me. Not bad, but nothing special.

Pretty! I get all crisp, white tea. It reminds me a lot of Kumiho. I wish I got some of the fig! But it's pretty much just tea. A little sharp still after dry down.

Starts off with crisp white tea, and it reminds me a lot of Kumiho as well but minus the zingy ginger. It smells a little sweeter too, I think from the honey. As it dries I get some light fig and a beautiful osmanthus around the white tea. A refreshing fruity-floral tea blend.

On me, this is all honey, all the time. I am notorious for amping honey notes, but it takes about three hours before anything else displays itself, and at that point, it's white tea (love), but the wear is mostly over by then. White tea visits for about an hour and a half, and then it's honey again.

 

Honey lovers, especially if you amp it, will love this. For me, I have to let it go, because I wanted more white tea. It was beautiful and crisp when it was around.

 

 

 

ETA:

I gave it another go because I had used it fresh from mail like we're not supposed to . Having sat for a week, it was glorious. Pure and simple beauty. I've been using it daily because it's a phenomenal spring/summer scent, and I'm already about half-way through the bottle. It's delicate and well balanced and so refreshing. I liked it so much I bought a backup bottle to age and bring out next summer!

White tea, honey, and a brush of olive blossom. This one is pretty much a sweet white tea blend. Cool, fresh, clean. Good throw and wear length.

This smells like really expensive, well-brewed white tea, with all the hay and honey notes coming out. The osmanthus is contributing to the hay quality, I think, and the honey is soft and floral. There may be fig in here, but I think it's hiding in the honey. They're all blended so well it's easy to imagine them all in one cup. I'll probably end up with a bottle of this! It's another subtle, pretty skin scent that's a total home run for me.
