Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
How it Smells
Tea + More opens with a blast of tart hibiscus and a jammy rose note. It's aiming for Hibiscus Mahajad, and hits about 87% of the target right away. The cinnamon and ambrette in the heart add a spicy warmth, but it's where you first notice some differences. The original has a smoother, more luxurious feel. This one has a slightly sharper, almost synthetic edge in the mid. The base is a comforting blend of vanilla and leather, with a surprising touch of mint that adds a unique freshness. While the drydown is pleasant, it lacks the depth and complexity of Hibiscus Mahajad.
The Performance Stats
The performance is respectable . Expect around 6-7 hours of wear, with moderate projection for the first 2 hours, settling into a skin scent afterward. It's noticeable without being overpowering. Reapplication might be needed for a full day. It's a great daily driver for fall and winter, especially for casual outings or office wear. The synthetic edges are noticeable upon closer inspection, but it's a worthwhile compromise. If you're a fragrance snob who only wears the real deal, this isn't for you. However, for those looking to explore a similar scent profile without breaking the bank, Tea + More is a worthy contender.
