An Ode to the Noble Art of Black Tea
Le Labo Thé Noir 29 Eau de Parfum celebrates the richness and elegance of black tea through a composition that balances freshness, warmth and depth. Rather than recreating the aroma of brewed tea, it captures the atmosphere surrounding the ritual, combining vibrant fruits, aromatic woods and smoky nuances into a fragrance that feels both comforting and sophisticated.
Its distinctive character evolves beautifully throughout the day, moving from bright freshness to a warm, leafy dry-down that is refined, sensual and unmistakably memorable.
Fragrance Experience
The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot, juicy fig and aromatic bay leaves, creating a vibrant yet elegant introduction. As the composition unfolds, cedarwood, earthy vetiver and soft musk provide a refined woody structure that feels smooth and balanced. A special black tea leaf extraction enriches the dry-down with dry leafy facets, while tobacco and hay add warmth, texture and an irresistibly addictive finish.
