Photo Tea :: fragrance ingredients

Tea in fragrances is appreciated for its diverse and complex aroma profile. It can range from fresh and grassy green tea to the deep and smoky scent of black tea. Historically, tea has been a significant part of various cultures, and its introduction into perfumery brought a sense of tranquility and refinement. Tea notes are used to add a clean, crisp, and sometimes slightly astringent quality to fragrances. Tea blends seamlessly with floral, citrus, and woody notes, creating fragrances that are soothing and sophisticated. It is versatile in its use, often found in the top and heart notes of a fragrance, where it can lend a serene and refreshing character.

Natural or Synthetic?
Tea absolute and synthetic tea fragrance compounds are used in perfumery for their aromatic, earthy, and woody scents. Natural tea absolute is extracted from the leaves of the tea plant through solvent extraction, while synthetic tea fragrance compounds are synthesized from a variety of chemicals. Natural tea absolute can add a touch of authenticity and complexity to a fragrance, but it can be expensive and difficult to source. Synthetic tea fragrance compounds are often a more affordable and versatile option, and they can be designed to mimic the aroma of natural tea absolute with great precision.
