The composition

Roasted Green Tea builds hojicha without a single tea note. Peanut and coconut give the toasted, nutty edge, laver adds a faint salt of seaweed, and mint with wintergreen keeps the leaves green. As it settles, iris, vanilla and cedar soften it toward a cup of tea with milk.

It is gentle and a little savory, sweet without turning into dessert. A good pick for anyone who likes tea scents but finds most of them too crisp or too lemony, or who wants something quiet and easy for warm days.

What wearers say

  • Wearers most often praise a realistic roasted tea, nutty and creamy, which many compare to a hojicha or matcha latte.
  • The opening divides people: peanut, seaweed and a savory edge strike some as odd or even off for the first minutes before it settles.
  • Some find the drydown sweeter and milkier than they expected, closer to a dessert than a cup of tea.
  • The most common complaint is performance: it sits close to the skin, and many report it fading within a few hours.
  • Mostly worn in spring and summer and by day, and often called easy for the office.
