Black Tea

Black Tea is a refined and aromatic fragrance note with a warm, slightly smoky, and subtly bitter character. Its scent evokes freshly brewed tea leaves with gentle woody and earthy nuances. Often used in heart notes, black tea adds elegance, depth, and a calming sophistication to perfume compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The scent of black tea is formed by a complex mixture of aromatic compounds such as linalool, geraniol, and various phenolic molecules created during the oxidation of tea leaves. These compounds contain aromatic rings and functional groups that produce the warm, slightly smoky, tannic, and subtly floral character associated with black tea.
