Raphael Perfumery
Tie Guan Yin Raphael Perfumery for women and men
Tie Guan Yin by Raphael Perfumery is a fragrance inspired by the Chinese Tie Guan Yin oolong tea, named after its dense leaves that unfurl slowly in hot water. The composition reflects the tea’s contrast between initial bitterness and a lingering sweetness, echoing its association with a balance of strength and gentleness. According to the brand, the scent is composed entirely of natural aromatic materials. The fragrance opens with bright, bitter-green nuances of green tea, citrus, and bergamot. A floral heart combines gardenia, jasmine, pomelo blossom, neroli, honeysuckle, mimosa, and leafy facets of tomato leaf, violet leaf, mate, and shiso. The base rests on earthy, musky and slightly powdery tones of orris root, angelica root, and ambrette, giving the composition a soft, natural finish.
