Tea for Two

The first few minutes after spraying it smells really smoky, but then it calms down into this beautiful sweet and spicy tea scent. It is full of aroma while still quite sheer. I wish this wasn’t discontinued..

Not expected this at all. I wanted, just like syl8er mentioned, something that smells of chai or gingerbread, but I'm only getting leather, maybe a little bit of tobacco and nothing else. Unfortunately I'm not smelling any of the tea, spice or sweetness, just straight up tire shop. I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to love this.

selling mine for $150, 80/100ml black cap. item is in south east asia

@gritzalimaria don't forget saffran troublant!

not what i was expecting at all. i am looking for a chai fragrance, but this smells like a burning holiday gingerbread candle. it’s pretty good but i don’t find it very wearable as a perfume

L artisan I know you're watching us here in fragrantica, so please if you like, please bring back Tea for two Jour de fete Orchidee Blanche So we can find them again!!! 😃 😄

The tobacco note unfortunately kills this one for me - if only it was a little more subtle. I smell like an old-timey detective (with a pipe and his own chemistry kit) now - not a bad thing, but I was hoping for something more tea-ish and a little more feminine:) and so, my search for sweet warm tea scent in a cozy evening tearoom, continues. Perfect for Sherlock, sadly not for me.

I have a 75% full 100ml flat gold cap (2014) I’m selling in the United States. Would also swap for Ciel de Gum or Plum Japonias (partials are fine) Pm me

Tea for Two hits with an explosive burst of clove, almost overwhelming in its singular presence. Sharp and slightly medicinal, it conjures an unexpected flash of a dentist’s office: that faintly antiseptic, almost numbing scent hanging in the air. My husband loved it, likened it to camphor-infused wood – a warmer, resinous twist on the dominant note. I wouldn’t say I hate it. Comforting? Perhaps. Like the soothing calm you get once the dentist’s drill finally stops.

Spices, and a drop of sweet tea. Smells like a deli sandwich pastrami with pickles.

L'artisan parfumeur have just informed me that tea for two is just out of stock rather than discontinued.... Really hoping this is the case because it's an incredible tea scent with a masterful blend of spices and lapsang that projects beautifully and is utterly addictive !!

Why discontinue the best perfume in their catalog?

If anyone has a bottle please dm me on Instagram : ruben_mace_ or on fragrantica

Exactly the same experience as rosefaith describes. I love this perfume sooooh much 😍. The way I mix my perfect cup of tea from loose tea leaves. Earl Grey with a tiny bit of Lapsang Souchong, sweetend with a coffeespoon full of honey. Also makes me think of a winterstrong version of Gypsy Water from Byredo as it it is the same nose behind this creation Olivia Giacobetti.

Is anyone selling a bottle? Please pm me

Smoky spicy chai tea.

LOVE this. Seasonally speaking, this one reminds me of late Winter. The weather is still cool but not frigid. Looking out a window on a rainy day, tea in hand, onto a garden on where branches are still bare, but you can see the buds just beginning to form. ON ME, I get the following notes in order of prominence: sweet, then tea, then smoke, then spice--emphasis on the *me* part, because I've seen the notes listed in varying configurations in other reviews. Isn't body chemistry fascinating? I even noticed a slight variation in notes between my Left and Right wrists. (I like it better on my Left, lol.) On to the notes: (1) SWEET - mostly honey-sweet on me, which I actually love. (2) TEA - citrus-y black tea notes. Definitely an Early Grey vibe, as I can smell the bergamot. (3) SMOKE - this was the only note on me that I was not super fond of. I was hoping for a lapsang souchong, and ended up with more of a stale-cigarette-smoke-lingering-on-clothes kind of deal, though I suspect that this effect was just something interacting in a wonky way w/ my own chemistry. Luckily the strong cigarette thing mellowed out after a while to become more pleasingly smoky. (4) (warm) SPICE - I was hoping to have this note more prominent, as I love spicy scents. On me the spices just *whispered,* but the effect was still lovely. I could not smell the ginger and anise detected by others, but that could just be because my nose is not as sophisticated as ya'll'ses noses. I smelled clove most strongly, followed by vanilla. Overall: 4.75/5. Love love love, and SO bummed this has been discontinued.

My preciousssss…. Everyone please stop buying what’s left of the bottles of this masterpiece. There is truly nothing like it and Olivia Giacobetti is an absolute genius.

I don't have the pleasure to know the original scent, but I just bought a clone, and it is absolutely divine. The clove is prominent, it blends wonderfully with the other spices and tobacco, complimenting but not overwhelming the tea scent. There is a delightful vintage aspect, it is warming, elegant, comforting, very unique. The spicy aspects are balanced with just enough sweetness that it doesn't become simplistic or trying hard to be easily consumable, as it is the case with tons of modern fragrances with sweet notes. Very naturalistic, beautiful, meditative, festive tea scent. It is such a shame that it has been discontinued, and I'm so happy to have at least grabbed a clone of it.

Tea For Two is probably my favorite fragrance of all time. I’ve had the old bottle and now the new bottle, and at first I thought I hated the new bottle because I was getting sort of an old cigarette ash smell after a bit, but I finally figured out that only happens if I wear it with cashmere, so something about the fiber and the fragrance don’t mix. So now I even love the new bottle. I can’t compare it to anything, I mostly have LAP fragrances and haven’t tried any other fragrances similar to Tea For Two. For me it’s a soft, snuggly blanket of scent, sweet and spicy and very close to the skin, and I wear it in fall and winter, although with it being discontinued I am saving it for special occasions only now.

cloth test nice. very sweet, like sugar in tea? I think it actually smells like tea a little bit. vanilla? skin test spice / tobacco -- I wondered if I could wear a perfume with a tobacco note in it because it might be some sort of accord not real tobacco. I'm glad I tried it because now I know: the tobacco notes in modern teas have the real chemical in it that I'm allergic to, sadly. Mildly, it's just an itchiness, but it's there. tea? it's tea! The one out of a dozen tea perfumes I've tried that actually smells like tea is the one that also has something in that I'm allergic to. Scrubber :( even though I like the smell. I had to rate is dislike even though the smell itself is nice because of the allergenic property of it.

This is like a watered down tobacco Vanille with tea. Not great.

Purchased this as they discontinued it, and I'm despondent I didn't buy two bottles. A perfect representation of my favorite tea order on a cold day (black, steeped extra dark, one sugar) that lacks the truly sharp bitter note that sours almost every other tea perfume. The only tea perfume worth looking at in my opinion, and despite its quirky gourmand charm it is incredibly wearable. Maybe too spicy for a sticky hot car ride though, I made the mistake of not checking the weather one day and my roommate said "It smells like... candles? Is that you?" 🫠

I was excited for this one based on the notes and because I have been on the hunt for good tea fragrances. Unfortunately this one didn't work out for me. The star anise takes over too much and I don't feel I get the tea note in here.

I had hight hopes for this. I was expecting warm spicy tea with honey that everyone else is describing. I get a very fresh and sharp scent that is identical to a skincare item from Lush, that I don't remember the name of. Maybe the Tea tree tonic or a face cleanser/mask? Anyway, I don't see how anyone would want to wear this. Sadly.

#2 on my hunt for a warm cosy tea based signature cold weather fragrance This one disappointed me on first sniff, I could barely detect any Tea note and it reminded me of what a florist smells like; flower stems. However, my nose mustve been cooked because boy am I glad I gave it another try. Its a very spicy tea scent with subtle whiffs of sweetness from the honey/vanilla in the base. I wish the sweetness was a bit more forward in this fragrance as personally the spice is a touch too prominent causing the fragrance to not feel very wearable. I can appreciate smelling it but I'm not sure others would. Definitely a cold weather fragrance, I could probably see it wearable for special occassions where you want to make a bit of a statement. Partners verdict: "very strong spices"

Warm cinnamon and peppercorn spice with gentle smoke. Immediately delivers that sweet spot that makes Gucci Pour Homme II so popular. This is woodier, but softer, and without the bright blue/fresh chord. Restrained iron fireplace and tobacco adds cowboy edge, making top note unique. Masculine chord also matures the warm cinnamon/ginger. Raw honey adds balance without being too sweet. Different...while cozy, sexy, and a little dirty. This is Gucci Pour Homme II while riding a motorcycle in Autumn. Good strength/projection. Unique and easily likable take on the genre that seems bottle-worthy. 1ST REVIEW: Applies extra warm/sexy Gucci Pour Homme II with smoky lapsang souchong. Rich with spice from dry cinnamon/gingerbread adds complicated edge. Nuanced honey and vanilla creates a sexy sweet tobacco vibe countered by tangy/metallic burnt sandalwood. Gucci Homme II is bigger and more in your face blue, while this is spicy and sexy with a smoky manly edgy.

I randomly chose this for a recent decant splurge and I am soooo glad I did. It's got a nice amount of tea in the opening but dries down to a sophisticated gingerbread biscuit. Just exquisite and now in search for a bottle!

A Delicious,Comforting and Top Quality perfume. I could wear it every day,and all year round. So sad it's getting harder to find.. Nothing Compares.
