There is one approach of tea fragrances that displays a realistic sort of tea that tries to captivate with a fresh, green, innocent aroma, and there’s another approach that takes you there not with the scent of tea, but with a more complex and layered aroma. Milky Dragon by Isabelle Larignon is the latter.
The inspiration behind this fragrance comes from the creamy heart of oolong tea. The perfume opens with a strange softness that feels like silk against skin. There’s nothing loud here. It’s all about texture and the richness of sensations. Just a quiet, comforting haze that wraps around like warm milk infused with delicate green leaves.
There is tea, yes, but it’s not sharp or bitter. Think of steamed milk poured over lightly toasted oolong, touched with a hint of something metallic and unexpected. The opening presents buchu leaves, mingled with bergamot and icy cardamom, lying on a bed of lactonic and delectable notes and floral notes. Jasmine, rose, and the scent of butter give way to more delicate woodsy nuances that make Milky Dragon more like a perfume that becomes part of your atmosphere, gently orbiting around you.
The impact of tea-milk fusion rests on cashmeran, fir balsam, and cedarwood. A combination that confers tranquility and calmness. This is a scent for quiet afternoons, rainy days, or those moments when the world feels too loud.
