Thé Yulong

Thé Yulong by Giorgio Armani unfolds as a crisp, unisex tea fragrance with a bright citrus opening of mandarin orange and petitgrain, leading into a delicate balance of green and black tea, jasmine, and iris. The transition from top to base is gentle and subtle, evolving into a soft, musky, and quietly elegant drydown with ambrette and vetiver. It carries a clean, soap-like freshness reminiscent of high-end spas and hotel lobbies, with a touch of warmth and subtle sweetness. The scent is light yet persistent, blooming gradually rather than asserting itself, and turns quietly into a skin-scent over time. While some note its faint resemblance to CK One or Bvlgari Thé Vert, most agree it stands on its own with a refined, modern tea character that feels both authentic and elevated. It performs best on clothing, with moderate sillage and a longer staying power than expected for an EDT, especially calming and versatile for daytime wear across seasons. The fragrance remains gentle and inoffensive, more about understated sophistication than bold presence.
