The Best Tea Fragrances of 2025

A little-known fact about me is that I spent the first years of life outside of the U.S. in a charming English countryside town. I have very limited memories of it (I've mostly learned about my time spent there with the help of old family photographs and videos), but there's one thing I definitely carried with me from my toddler years spent overseas: a love for the art of making tea. To this day, I pause to treat myself to a cup of tea every afternoon, preferring herbal over black. However, my adoration for this routine now extends beyond what I can slip into a delicate teacup.

Without even meaning to do it, I've edited my perfume collection to scents with tea notes. Over time, I've noticed how much more my days reflect the benefits of these notes. For example, when I use a perfume with green tea, I feel centered and energized, and with white, there's a definite sense of calm and cleanliness that takes over. While I don't usually drink black tea, I do find that wearing perfumes with black tea notes gives me a confidence boost and adds a hint of edge to my outfits. No matter what tea-infused scent I decide to go with, I'm happy with my choice.
