Black Tea Caravan

Most tea-like

Out of the 3 earl grey themed FO’s available at Lark, this one has the most prominent black tea smell. The top notes aren’t the best, but I like the rest of the blend, so I mixed it with the London Fog FO for a batch of CP soap. London Fog by itself is much more milky and sweet and lacks that black tea musk, but combined with Black Tea Caravan I was able to get it closer to an earl grey milk tea. I also blended the 2 along with the Candied Citron + Earl Grey FO into a perfume oil, but on opening that candied lemon note takes over, pulling it away from an earl grey smell. It’s still nice on opening, so you could easily play around with these 3 for candles, but on the skin within 5 min the top and mid notes almost fully disappear and leave the coconut note, along with a playdough one that I assume is from London Fog. Black Tea Caravan is definitely the least powerful of the 3, but I do prefer it’s scent over the other 2.
