Top Notes: A burst of bergamot, orange, mandarin, and yuzu delivers a bright, zesty opening that is refreshing and invigorating. The citrus notes immediately uplift and set a vibrant tone.
-
Heart Notes: Magnolia and thyme oil join green tea to create a tranquil and aromatic heart. The magnolia adds a soft, floral sweetness, while thyme lends a subtle herbal touch, complementing the tea's gentle, calming aroma.
-
Base Notes: The dry down reveals musk and fig, providing a creamy, slightly sweet, and grounding base. This balance ensures the fragrance retains its light and refreshing nature while offering warmth and depth.

Comparison with the Original:
"Wulóng Chá X" retains the refreshing tea and citrus character of the original "Wulóng Chá" but introduces floral notes, particularly magnolia, which add a more luxurious and nuanced layer to the composition. This iteration feels more rounded and polished, appealing to those seeking a slightly softer and more elegant take on the original.
Versatility:
This fragrance shines in warm weather, especially during spring and summer. Its light, uplifting character makes it suitable for daytime wear, whether in casual or professional settings. However, its sophisticated dry down ensures it can transition seamlessly into evening occasions.
Overall Impression:
"Wulóng Chá X" is a masterful blend of freshness, tranquility, and elegance. It is perfect for those who love tea-based fragrances but desire a modern twist with added complexity. This fragrance is a testament to Nishane's artistry and its ability to evolve beloved classics while maintaining their core essence.
