Olivia Giacobetti

"Tea for Two EDT is a verified unisex fragrance by L'Artisan Parfumeur, originally released in 2000 and created by Olivia Giacobetti. It is widely described as a smoky, spicy tea fragrance built around the impression of lapsang souchong, warmed by cinnamon and ginger, then softened by honey, tobacco, woods, and vanilla. The scent became a cult favorite for its unusual balance of bitter-smoky tea facets and cozy gourmand warmth. Reviews consistently frame it as evocative of chai, bonfire smoke, and a comforting cup of strong black tea on a cold day. It is also notable for having been discontinued and later re-released, which reinforced its reputation among niche fragrance enthusiasts. Within L'Artisan's catalog, it remains one of the house's best-known atmospheric comfort scents."

Reviews Summary

“User and critic feedback consistently describes the original Tea for Two as a distinctive smoky-spiced tea scent with strong lapsang souchong character, cinnamon, ginger, honeyed sweetness, and a soft tobacco-vanilla drydown. Many reviewers call it cozy, atmospheric, and ideal for cool weather, often comparing it to chai, bonfire smoke, or a warmly spiced tea latte. Community sentiment appears strongly positive overall, with Basenotes showing a mostly positive review split and Parfumo users praising its unusual yet comforting evolution. Performance is generally considered moderate to above average for the style, with noticeable but not overwhelming projection.”
