Imperial Tea
Imperial Tea by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and seaweed, moves into green tea and jasmine and dries down to vetiver and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
Heart
- Green Tea Dry, slightly bitter, calm. Quiet and very easy to wear.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
