Tourbillon de Thé by Estéban

*****
Year: 2006

Notes: bergamot, grapefruit, bitter orange, mango, tea, rose, jasmine, vanilla, sandalwood, musk

Comment: Tourbillon de Thé is part of Les Couleurs Collection

Tourbillon de Thé starts out somewhat unbalanced, as the citrus notes are immediately suppressed by a sweet mango accord. The florals are discreet but, occasionally, the rose is quite discernible. As the mango gradually subsides, floral traces fuse with a subtle tea note. Slowly over time, the tea intensifies and becomes smokier, against a gently emerging backdrop of vanilla, sandalwood and musk.

Like many of the Eau de Toilette releases from this house, it's too slight to even consider purchasing. It's still a pleasant fragrance but please avoid if you dislike mango.
