Red Tea
Red tea is a warm and earthy fragrance note with a subtly sweet, slightly woody scent profile that carries hints of dried fruit and smoky undertones. Its aroma is rich, smooth, and comforting, adding a grounding and cozy quality to perfumes. Red tea imparts a mellow, warm character and is often used as a middle or base note to bring depth and sophistication to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with floral, spicy, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are inviting, refined, and full of warmth.
History & Production: Red tea, also known as rooibos, originates from South Africa and has a long history of use as a caffeine-free herbal infusion. In perfumery, the scent of red tea is typically recreated using a blend of woody and subtly sweet accords to capture its warm, earthy essence. Red tea is valued for its ability to add a smooth, natural depth that enhances the richness and warmth of fragrances, evoking a sense of relaxation and natural beauty.
