African Rooibos Eau de Parfum — Chris Collins
Eau de Parfum (EDP) from Chris Collins.
Scent description (editorial impression)
Not the cool green tea most tea fragrances chase: owners describe warm red-bush rooibos with black pepper and cardamom, drying down to cedar and a faint maple-like sweetness. A few catch cigar-shop smoke or pencil shavings on the way.
Drawn from 36 independent reports across 6 venues.
