The composition

Tea Storm opens on lemongrass, bright and green with a lemony snap. Magnolia follows with a cool, dewy freshness, then a Grasse rose that feels velvety and lightly honeyed. Underneath sits a tea accord with a woody warmth and a trace of hay.

It wears like the air after summer rain, fresh and floral with a soft sweetness running through it. Reach for it in warm weather, or whenever a rose that leans green and citrusy sounds appealing.

How it wears

Tea Storm leans fresh and green, so it suits warm days, daytime and the office better than a heavy evening, and Fragrantica voters lean toward spring and summer. The lemongrass is sharpest at first; then rose and a honeyed, hay-like tea take over. Some Parfumo reviewers like it best on hot, humid days. Parfumo voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it reads close and clean rather than loud.

Compared with

ImaginationLouis Vuitton
The house's tea fragrance, and the one reviewers mention most. Imagination sets black tea under citron, ginger and cinnamon on an ambroxan base. Tea Storm is greener and more floral, led by lemongrass with rose and magnolia.
Ink MarkLouis Vuitton
Its sibling in the Journey to China trio. Ink Mark trades tea and lemongrass for creamy sandalwood, white incense and a dry, papery edge. Tea Storm is the fresher and greener of the two.
Moon TaleLouis Vuitton
The third of the trio, built on raspberry, peony and a powdery musk. Moon Tale is sweeter and more openly floral; Tea Storm keeps its rose behind green citrus and tea.

Questions about Tea Storm

Is Tea Storm the same as Rain Tea?

Yes. Louis Vuitton launched it in China in October 2025 as Rain Tea and renamed it Tea Storm for the wider release in August 2026. Fragrantica reports that the formula did not change.

Does Tea Storm smell like tea?

Partly. Louis Vuitton describes the tea accord in Tea Storm as woody, with hints of hay and honey. Many reviewers on Fragrantica and Parfumo notice the lemongrass and a honeyed rose before the tea, which sits underneath as a soft, warm background.

What concentration is Tea Storm?

Louis Vuitton's own page does not state a concentration for Tea Storm. Decanters and resellers sell it as an Eau de Parfum, and that is how we list it.

Where is the full bottle of Tea Storm sold?

In the US, Louis Vuitton sells Tea Storm only on louisvuitton.com and in selected Louis Vuitton stores. Now Smell This reports that the house also offers a coffret with travel sizes of all three Journey to China fragrances.
