The review

On paper, Citrus Tea is a strong bet if you want Thé Noir 29 for less.

Dossier sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Thé Noir 29's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $98 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Thé Noir 29 — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Value8.9
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Dossier publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot, fig and bay leaf, turns to cedar, vetiver and musk, and settles into tobacco and hay. That is the brief Citrus Tea is working from.

For the one who reads by candlelight, brewing strong black tea while fig and smoky cedar drift quietly through a cool, contemplative evening.

Of the 5 twins of Le Labo Thé Noir 29 we can price, Citrus Tea is number 3 on price per 100ml.
