Miris

The opening on a blotter is warm and slightly astringent — a tannin-forward dryness, like biting into the skin of an overbrewed cup. There is malt underneath, grainy and toasted, and a faint honeyed sweetness that stays close to the surface.

Over two hours the tannins soften. What comes forward is a rounder, woodier quality — dried tea leaves stored in a tin box, the kind that still smells of last year's batch. An earthy undertone, almost mushroom-like, grounds the sweetness.

By evening on skin the note is barely there: a dry, papery warmth, like the smell of your sleeve after sitting in a tea shop all afternoon.

Teroar i prerada

Detaljno

Assam tea comes from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, a separate botanical variety from the Chinese tea plant, discovered growing wild in the jungles of Upper Assam in 1823. The leaves are larger, the oxidation deeper, and the resulting aroma heavier than Chinese or Japanese teas.

Explore all seven extraits in the Discovery Set.

In perfumery, the note is typically obtained through CO2 extraction or solvent extraction of processed (oxidized) tea leaves. Steam distillation is possible but yields a thinner profile. The aromatic character leans malty and tannic rather than green — closer to a pot of strong breakfast tea than to matcha.

Assam tea entered niche perfumery in the early 2000s as part of a broader interest in "comfort" notes — materials that smell like domestic rituals rather than flowers or woods.

U parfemima

Assam Tea is typically a heart note in compositions, giving a warm character that can anchor a fragrance. It works well with citrus notes, which brighten its richness, as well as with spices like cardamom and cinnamon that deepen its warmth. Its earthy undertones make it compatible with woody notes, allowing for well-rounded fragrances that carries comfort and complexity.
