Black Tea (Ceylon)
Black tea from Ceylon is a warm and aromatic fragrance note with a rich, slightly smoky scent profile that carries subtle earthy and woody undertones. Its aroma is deep, smooth, and invigorating, adding a refined and exotic quality to perfumes. Ceylon black tea imparts a comforting, robust character and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and sophistication in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with floral, citrus, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, warm, and full of character.
History & Production: Black tea from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) has a long history and is celebrated worldwide for its high-quality, bold flavor and aroma. The tea leaves are harvested, rolled, and then oxidized to enhance their dark, rich scent before being dried. In perfumery, Ceylon black tea is recreated using synthetic accords or natural extracts that capture its warm, smoky essence. This note is valued for its ability to add an exotic, earthy depth that enhances the richness and complexity of fragrances, evoking a sense of comfort and sophistication.
