Wulong Cha Notes, Review & Performance

Nishane's 2015 launch — one of the defining oolong-tea fragrances in modern niche. A tea-citrus unisex Extrait with bergamot, orange, mandarin, and Litsea Cubeba at the top, an oolong tea-nutmeg heart, and a fig-musk base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, with moderate projection.
