    Description

    African Rooibos by Chris Collins is a sophisticated and multidimensional tea fragrance that transports you to the slopes of South Africa, channeling the poetic aroma of rooibos leaves in a warm, herbal breeze. It opens with an invigorating blend of bergamot, cardamom, and black pepper, inviting immediate attention before settling into a richly earthy rooibos tea heart accented by orris butter’s soft dryness. The fragrance dries down with smooth cedarwood, creamy tonka bean, and just a hint of immortelle flower for a powdery, subtly smoky finish. Designed for both formal and casual occasions, African Rooibos offers refined, genderless elegance and effortless charisma. Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur
