Moroccan Mint Tea brings together two drink-related ideas that are not usually the same thing: mint tea in the opening and coffee in the heart. Fragrantica describes the Chasense perfume as woody-aromatic, with Chinese tea, clementine and peppermint at the top. That citrus detail broadens the opening beyond a simple mint accord, introducing a fruit reference alongside the tea leaves.
The middle combines coffee, jasmine and orris root. This changes the emphasis from the initial drink image to an interplay of roasted, floral and powdery associations. Orris Root is the particularly distinctive connecting note: the structure gives the tea-and-mint concept a different setting from the familiar lemon-and-herb arrangement of a citrus cologne.
Sandalwood, ambergris and vetiver make up the catalogue base. Read together, these notes supply a woody framework beneath the green opening and the more textured heart. The contrast between peppermint and sandalwood is central to understanding the construction: freshness occupies one end of the pyramid, while the woods provide its grounding idea.
Parfumo places the fragrance in the World Tea collection. Its listing uses Moroccan tea for the opening tea note and identifies the jasmine more specifically as New Zealand jasmine. The catalogues agree on the unusual coffee-and-orris heart and on the three base notes, making those the most useful points of reference when recognising this particular tea fragrance.
