Review of Tea Storm by RINA

Inspired by the dynamism of nature and the art of Chinese tea ceremonies, this fragrance captures the image of sparkling water currents and the vibrant energy of fresh tea leaves. From the very first moment, the radiant scent of lemongrass and a dewy tea accord gently unfold. The tartness and verdant freshness of the lemongrass evoke the image of a babbling brook, shimmering as if reflecting the light. The tea accord adds a sense of dewy transparency, flowing pleasantly like water. Magnolia notes introduce a citrus-like freshness that lingers gently. Layered upon this is a fresh, vibrant rose—evoking the scent of a living bloom—which adds a touch of glamour and expands the fragrance's reach. A unique characteristic is how the scent evolves: upon application, there is a fleeting note of dewy rose, yet as it settles on the skin, the radiance of the lemongrass becomes the dominant impression. The rose note itself contains citrus-like facets. While it is common for a fragrance to start with citrus and transition to rose, this particular progression is truly unique—or perhaps I am the only one who perceives it this way? The freshness of lemongrass and rose is sustained by the dewy quality of the tea. A simple composition that results in a radiant citrus-rose scent. Just how long does this pleasant, radiant citrus-tea fragrance last? You can enjoy the delightful citrus notes far longer than you might expect.
