IMPERIAL TEA

Imperial Tea, a fresh and modern tribute to ancient Chinese traditions

Imperial Tea is a pure and linear fragrance that revolves around a Green Tea accord infused with Jasmine Sambac absolute. Bergamot and laminaria seaweed - a rare ingredient in perfumery that offers a mineral and aerial balance - capture the haze of ocean air, while the fragrance lingers with the rootsy notes of vetiver oil and musk. Drawn to the sky and back to the earth, at its core is Jasmine Tea, a regal Chinese cultural ritual that has endured through millennia.

For Kilian Hennessy, traveling always brings surprises, new encounters and love. This time, the sea breeze took him to a new land where the rich tea culture has endured for centuries. He witnessed the making of jasmine tea, with white flowers picked by hand and placed over the fermenting tea to infuse its oils. She watched as the jasmine tea with floating flowers was served and savored it in a moment of timelessness and elegance, which she wished would never end. One sip and all the senses expand into jasmine flowers outside of space and time.

A lot of attention is paid to each KILIAN PARIS refillable perfume bottle, to turn them into true precious objects. The containers of The Fresh olfactory family perfumes are adorned with a vibrant and electric Klein blue lacquer and its bottle has been meticulously engraved on each side, with the representation of the shield of Achilles. As Kilian Hennessy says: "In perfumery, it is as much about seducing as it is about protecting." A silver metal plate on which the name of the perfume is hand-engraved adds an extra touch of sophistication.

These details give KILIAN PARIS creations a guarantee of luxury, which should not be ephemeral, but should last a lifetime. Therefore, the bottle of this fresh perfume can be refilled indefinitely.

The inspiration of Kilian Hennessy: Imperial Tea is a fresh and modern tribute to Jasmine Tea, infused, served and drunk according to the noblest of Chinese traditions.
