Wouldn't write home about it
It's a nice tea citrus scent, but it's not going to blow your socks off; I would call it inoffensive.

Details on Etat Libre d’Orange Above the Wave
Discover Above the Waves, the first tea-inspired fragrance by Etat libre d'Orange. The ritual of tea is a way to reconnect with life. This scent honors Mazu, the goddess who protects sailors. It's a blend of three unique tea varieties, making it aromatic and fresh. This perfume protects and uplifts. It reminds us to take a step back and rise above. It's a companion for life's journey.
How does Etat Libre d’Orange Above the Wave smell?
The scent opens with a bright splash of bergamot and a hint of spicy cardamom. A touch of frankincense adds a resinous feel. The heart is a true tea ceremony, blending earthy maté, classic Ceylon tea, and robust black tea. The fragrance settles into a smooth, comforting base of warm cedarwood, sweet tonka bean, and a whisper of green vetiver.

A beautiful light summer fragrance with a very pleasant citrus note that smells very natural thanks to the tea notes.

If only he would stay...
Zesty bergamot, cardamom, and green mate with slightly sweet notes. Unfortunately, it fades faster than you can get comfortable with it.
