Wulong Cha X is a green, citrus, musky scent created for Men and Women in 2023 by perfumer Julien Rasquinet.
Review
This scent is a little brighter than the original Wulong Cha. Perhaps it is the pop of the Yuzu, or the switch from the spicy Nutmeg, to the toned down herbal quality of Thyme, or the switch from Oolong Tea to Green Tea…..or some combination of all 3. That familiar Tea note is still apparent within the composition, but in a more mellow way here. It maintains a cozy, casual vibe to it, but can easily be dressed up for the office or formal event. It will work in all seasons, and will remain light, but will last. It has been compared to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Aqua Universalis, but with a Tea note added.
Inspiration
Wulong Cha X is part of the X Collection, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of Nishane. It is designed to mute the sharp edges of the original, and enhance it with floral additions.
Notes
This scent is immediately fresh with a blend of Bergamot, Mandarin, and Yuzu. Litsea and Thyme make the Green Tea note pop nicely alongside the citruses, and Magnolia adds the faintest floral hint. Fig boosts the airy freshness, while Musk boosts the herbal notes in a gentle way.
Top Notes: Bergamot, Yuzu, Litsea, Mandarin
