Wearers say
Wearing it
A refreshing citrus and oolong tea fragrance that wears clean and spa-like. It lasts six to eight hours, though many find it similar to cheaper green tea scents.
How far it carriesArm's length
Perfumers call it sillage.
It radiates comfortably within arm's reach without overpowering a room.
“The sillage and projection are moderate. People passing by may notice as well anyone in polite company.”

A few wearers experience surprisingly strong, beast-mode projection.
“It’s beast mode on me and very different than EA Green Tea, I have both (and love both)”

Some say
Some wearers report it fades to a skin scent within four to six hours.
“I really like Wulong Cha, but it's not a crazy performer for me, it's better than most fresher stuff, but I'll get maybe 4-6 hours out of it.”

Some say
Some wearers pair it with Philosykos or warm sweet bases for winter.
“Normally, I layer Wulong Cha with Philosykos to double down on the figs while adding a woody base.”
