Niche line Régime des Fleurs has launched Dark Subtle Teas, a new limited edition fragrance.

A deep, moody infusion you’ll wear as an intimate ritual. This complex blend of black tea, rooibos tea, and maté reveals itself slowly, becoming your own private pleasure. 

"Tea for me is liquid sophistication…nuanced, layered and complex. At home I drink many different kinds — I’ve always loved it. The same is true in my work: I’m always hunting down new tea absolutes. I think tea notes in fragrance are familiar but not immediately recognizable, so they speak to us on a subconscious level. DARK SUBTLE TEAS showcases tea as the main event. Rather than a playful, citrusy green tea — we’ve all smelled that before — this one has intrigue and mystery to it. The formula balances unusual extracts of black tea, rooibos tea, and maté. Working with them can be challenging for a perfumer: they need to be finessed. Bergamot, orange, and warm benzoin resin let us enter the darker depths smoothly. This is a meditative, almost spiritual perfume for me. You’ll wear it as an intimate ritual…a private pleasure and a personal ceremony. Let it steep on skin before you inhale.” – Alia Raza

Additional notes include cedar, patchouli and vetiver.

Régime des Fleurs Dark Subtle Teas is $220 for 30 ml Extrait de Parfum.
