Inspiring and carnal, Smoky Soul features smoked black tea infused with Osmanthus absolute with fruity accents of apricot.

Black tea is smoked with Java Vetiver essence, which brings out facets of burnt hot wood. Black pepper enhances the spicy and black notes of the tea while a trace of seaweed absolute accentuates the mossy, savoury and mineral notes of some Chinese teas.

THE NEW SEPIA TRILOGY: THE SOUL OF TEAS

With Smoky Soul, Olfactive Studio debuts the first extrait de parfum of its new trilogy inspired by world teas in the Sepia collection. The next two creations in the works will take us to other continents and traditions of tea sharing.

Spearheaded by perfumer Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, a graceful creator and a lover of beautiful natural materials, the collaboration will blossom around tea, this plant graced with fragrant leaves and subtle and aromatic facets. For this future new triptych, the beautiful radiance of the shot also gives way to a softer temporal scent rich in emotions and soulful.

In the first act, Smoky Soul captures the soul of a smoked black tea, giving it voluptuousness and presence. This photograph of a landscape in the Fujian region of China, where tea growing is a tradition and a pride, transports us into a moment of eternity and contemplative heights. Smoky Soul captures this weightless moment and the gracefulness of the materials: black tea, smoked with the essence of Java vetiver, infused with Osmanthus absolute, and tempered by an essence of patchouli.

Osmanthus is a traditional Chinese flower sometimes used to flavour tea:

In Fujian, its fresh flowers are spread onto a precious tea to enhance its bewitching flavour.
