The sur l’Herbe (Tea No. 2)
Fragrance notes
Character
Amalfi lemon arrives bright and sunlit, its juice pressed straight from the peel. Lavender sits beside it with a clean, herbal edge that avoids the powdery turn some florals take. Bergamot adds a polished lift that keeps the opening from feeling rustic.
Tea steeps through the center, warm and slightly astringent, while tarragon brings a gentle anise whisper that keeps the green impression from going flat. Lemon verbena stretches the citrus thread further, though it stays quieter here than in the first breath. Vetiver grounds the blend with an earthy, dry texture, and sandalwood smooths the edges without turning creamy.
The composition feels transparent and natural, more like a garden path than a polished counter display. It suits someone who enjoys aromatic clarity and a gentle woody finish during warm, bright days outdoors. The one drawback is the tarragon, which can read sharp and slightly medicinal if the air is too still, making the balance feel uneven rather than airy.
