Imperial Tea freshly revisits jasmine tea as China prepares and serves it in its great traditions. It stems from a travel memory of Kilian Hennessy: white flowers picked by hand, spread in layers over the tea leaves to pass on their scent.
The fragrance stays clean and straightforward, centred on a green tea scented with jasmine sambac absolute. Bergamot and laminaria seaweed, a rare, mineral material, open the composition; vetiver and musk anchor it in the base.

Imperial Tea in detail
Kilian Paris places Imperial Tea in its The Fresh family. It freshly revisits jasmine tea as China prepares it in its great traditions: Kilian Hennessy remembers white flowers picked by hand, spread in layers over the tea leaves to pass on their scent. It is signed by Calice Becker.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot and laminaria seaweed, rendered here by seaweed, a rare, mineral material reminiscent of sea spray. The heart is a green tea scented with jasmine sambac absolute. A base of vetiver and musk anchors this clean, straightforward fragrance.
Imperial Tea is a daytime fragrance for spring and summer, calm and luminous. Its seaweed gives the tea a fresh, mineral edge.
Three floral fragrances in our catalogue come close: Inlé by Memo Paris shares bergamot, tea, jasmine sambac and musk; Bal d'Afrique by Byredo pairs bergamot, musk and vetiver; 724 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian finds bergamot and musk again in an urban freshness.
