BLACK TEA (CEYLON)

Black tea in perfume can suggest dry leaves, hay and herbs, sometimes with a smoky or leathery edge. These facets give the tea impression texture rather than the simple sweetness of a flavoured drink. A composition may make it feel more leafy and aromatic, or bring its darker accents forward beside woods. For someone exploring tea fragrances, the balance between fresh surroundings and dry, smoky facets is a useful guide to the overall character.

Ceylon identifies Sri Lankan tea, which varies with growing district and conditions. A Robertet material made from Ceylon tea leaves demonstrates that natural extracts are available for perfumery, with herbal, hay-like, smoky and leathery facets. Those are characteristics of a documented material, not a guarantee for every fragrance. The regional label does not by itself identify an estate, a supplier or a fixed scent recipe.
