The Scent: Our Earl Grey Tea is a blend of fine black China teas and the natural oil of bergamot, a pear-shaped citrus fruit. It is this same oil with its distinctive aroma that is at the heart of Demeter's Earl Grey Tea cologne.
The Inspiration: The legend is that a British diplomat sent as part of a trade delegation to China in 1834 by the second Earl Grey, saved the life of a mandarin's son who was drowning. The grateful mandarin gave the diplomat a recipe for a blend of tea to present to the Earl. The second Earl Grey passed it on to his tea merchant, who used the recipe to recreate the blend for the Earl's private use. The tea was so well received among the Earl's guests that they began asking where they could buy the tea. The Earl gave it his name, and the rest is history.

"I really like this scent. On my skin, most of the citrus and bergamot notes that others describe pretty much evaporated as soon as it dried. What remained, though, was a warm, mellow, “green” scent—pleasant and fragrant without being too “plant-y. ” It smells very nice."
"gorgeous true earl grey scent!!! love to pair this one with condensed milk when im feeling a “milk tea” day. easily one of my favorites from demeter and originially what brought me to this shop!"
"Doesn't smell the least little bit like Earl Grey Tea, sorry"
"10/10!!! earl grey is my fave tea and this literally made me feel as if i had a steaming cup of earl grey right in front of me! it is so so good"
"The earl grey perfume roll on came leaking sadly and I'm not too fond of some of the smells. I felt like earl grey barely had a scent and old book smelled like a doctor's office. The others smelled pretty good!"
"Beautiful scent and customer service was top notch!"
"I recently bought this and even though I love the fragrance, it is very faint and literally lasts a minute on my skin. Why is it so? I thought perfume oils are usually stronger and last longer than colognes. So disappointed. Please make this stronger."
"Loved the scents. They’re very accurate to what I imagined."
"Smelled a bit like hand sanitizer, but floral and yummy"
"This scent has a bit of a soapy start- bright and green, clean. After it has some time to settle, it really does become photo-realistic earl grey. I would love to layer this with vanilla or orange for a lovely afternoon tea scent."
