White Tea

White Tea was born in 2017 at Elizabeth Arden, under the joint pen of Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Guillaume Flavigny and Caroline Sabas. Its production draws on VivaScentz™ technology. The fragrance comes in four sizes: 10, 30, 50 and 100 ml.

Opening

Mandarin, clary sage and rose open the composition. Mandarin brings sparkle and sun-kissed brightness. Clary sage, an aromatic plant, offers an herbaceous greenness with earthy nuances. Rose appears from this first tier, warm, with honeyed and waxy accents.

Heart

The heart brings together tea, fresh and green, and yerba mate, whose infusion evokes hay and tobacco. Rose returns, warm and honeyed, accompanied by rosewater and its sweetness, and jasmine, warm, sweet, almost wild. Musk adds a woody, animalic warmth, and tonka bean its toasted notes.

Base

Tonka bean remains at the base of the accord. The seed of a South American tree, it develops toasted facets, an almond scent and caramel inflections, linked to the coumarin it naturally contains.

Floral family

Classified in the floral family, White Tea owes this character to rose, present from the opening, to rosewater and to jasmine. Florals are organized around petals or white flowers; here, the wax and honey of rose meet the sugar of jasmine, over a backdrop of tea.

Citrus and herbs on the label

The label mentions Camellia sinensis leaf extract, the tea plant, and Citrus aurantium peel oil, bitter orange. Limonene and citral, common components of citrus, echo the mandarin. Linalool and linalyl acetate, abundant in clary sage essence, align with the aromatic note.

Rose, musk and wood on the label

Rose flower oil or extract appears near citronellol, geraniol, rose ketones and farnesol, constituents associated with the scent of rose. Coumarin refers back to tonka bean. Hexamethylindanopyran is a synthetic musk; tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalene, beta-caryophyllene, pinene and terpineol bring woody, spicy or resinous nuances.
