Raphael Perfumery
Long-Jing Cha Raphael Perfumery for women and men
The fragrance features Green Tea, Mate, Bitter Orange, Honeysuckle, Orris Root, Jasmine, Pomelo, Shiso and Grapefruit blossom. Long-Jing Cha by Raphael Perfumery is a fragrance inspired by Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea from the West Lake region of Hangzhou, a tea celebrated for its refinement and long cultural history. Because Longjing tea itself cannot be directly extracted for use in perfumery, the scent is interpreted through a constructed Long-Jing accord built from aromatic and green nuances. The composition translates the impression of Longjing tea using shiso, bitter orange, orris root and mate alongside tea facets, creating a calm, green and gently citrusy character. Subtle white floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle, together with pomelo blossom, add softness and a light floral lift to the blend. The formula is described as using only natural ingredients, aiming to capture the tranquil, understated elegance associated with traditional Chinese green tea.
