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 voluptu-ousness 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 grace-fulness of the materials: black tea, smoked with the essence of Java vetiver, infused with Osmanthus absolute, and tempered by an essence of patchouli.


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

Black tea, extracted with supercritical CO2, 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, savory and mineral notes of some Chinese teas.

Ingredients:
Top notes: black pepper from India, osmanthus absolute from China
Heart notes: black tea from Sri Lanka, jasmine absolute from India, rose from Turkey
Base notes: patchouli from Indonesia, seaweed absolute, vetiver from Java
