Oolong Ritual
A green perfume oil setting oolong among citrus and pear, softened by palmarosa and jasmine over woods and musk.
Oolong Ritual takes its cue from Fujian province in China. The official scene has rain falling over green mountains that rise into mist, while oolong, a local specialty, is served in a traditional tea ceremony.
The opening is busy. Mandarin brings rounded sweetness, bergamot a brighter edge with a hint of bitterness, and pear a juicy fruitiness, all gathered around the warm, lightly roasted character of oolong leaves. The citrus and fruit keep things light; the tea supplies faint astringency and depth.
In the heart, palmarosa, with its rose-like green sweetness, joins jasmine to soften the tea with petals. Cedarwood and vetiver form the base, one dry and woody, the other rooty and earthy, while musk adds a smooth, skin-close finish that settles the bright fruit into a calmer green tone.
The brand classifies the scent profile as green. Because tea and flowers rest on a frame of wood, it suits someone who prefers clear bitterness to sweetness, worn as a perfume oil that sits close to the skin.
