About the Fragrance

Thé Yulong Soie de Nacre offers a unique take on the natural freshness of Thé Yulong, infused with a pearly white effect to beautifully illuminate the skin. This unique silky, pearlescent experience for skin is a fresh and radiant fragrance that recalls the misty, volcanic accords of the Yulong Mountains, while contrasting black and green tea extracts create a smoky, woody aroma. Subtly sweet and delicately smoked, the fragrance is elevated by radiant lime and green mandarin, and a warm trail of ambrette and iris. The tea experience is further enhanced by a pearly white effect, perfect for illuminating the skin and adding a subtle luminosity, like the finest silk.
