d'Annam Monsoon Tea EDP

Description

Monsoon Tea was released in 2023 as part of d'Annam's original Enchanting Vietnam collection, centered on the moment a monsoon clears and green tea gets brewed right after the rain. The goal is optimism and clarity, the fresh start that follows a storm, rather than a literal dried-tea note.

Reviewers describe a bright citrus opening (petitgrain and bergamot) that fades within about 15 minutes into a photorealistic rain scent, light rain on green plants, before green tea and lily of the valley take over. It's praised as light, subtle, and beautifully atmospheric.

Scent Character

• Fresh: 50%
• Woody: 31%
• Floral: 12%
• Sweet: 6%

Translation: a fresh, green-tea-driven fragrance with a woody-musk base grounding the citrus opening, calming and atmospheric rather than sweet.

FAQ

Does it smell like green tea?
Yes, though gently. The tea note reads as real brewed green tea layered with a photorealistic "rain on leaves" quality rather than a sharp green accord.

Is it unisex?
Yes.

How does it differ from d'Annam Pomelo Oolong?
Monsoon Tea is a green-tea-and-rain scent built on bergamot and musk; Pomelo Oolong is a pomelo-citrus tea scent built on osmanthus. Both are light and close-to-skin, but Monsoon Tea leans more "rainy garden," Pomelo Oolong more "sunlit teahouse."

What's the longevity?
Moderate, roughly 4–6 hours.
