My fave jasmine fragrance is Olene by Diptyque. As for tea, the list is swelling:
The bugari ones (green and white) are awesome.
Duel by Annick Goutal is hands down killer.
Green Tea by Roger & Gallet is even better than the Bulgaris.
Silver Mountain Water by Creed is one great black tea fragrance.
And last but not least, HAMPTON'S by BOND No. 9 is my ultimate tea fragrance. Don't look for Hampton's because it's still not released, but *I* have it

CdG Tea!!! AG EdFier is not less killer than CdG Tea:-P

Jasmin is cool and "spacious" in A la Nuit Serge Lutens.

AG Dual is also nice, the top note reminds me of citron leaves:-) and the base is a lighter GD Biche dans l'Absinthe.

I agree with Duel (Annick Goutal). Add some lemon and honey and you could drink this sucker.

For tea scents, I'm wild about Tea for Two, but only in cooler weather.
In warmer weather, I like Roger & Gallet's Eau de The Vert.

Do you guys prefer Bvlgari Blanc or Vert? I think Vert is too floral, even spicy, and personally prefer Blanc.

I prefer Vert and find it more neutral.

But my favorite jasmine and green tea scent is L'artisan The pour En Ete. It actually smells like Chinese jasmine tea, but perhaps might be a tad too floral for you.

Etro Palais Jamais is another winner, and a little darker and smokier.

Palais Jamais takes my breath away. I adore it. [ch8206]
This is one of those perfumes (wholesome aesthetic entities) that to me are the sum up of [ch8206]inseparable constituents (notes). I can't but remain oblivious to its individual elements.[ch8206]

Hi

For the jasmin I would go for the Eau de Hongrie from fragonnard
For the tea Green Tea fraicheur vegetale from Yves rocher REALLY REALLY FRESH
or Concerto from fragonnard a bit more fruity

Guerlain Cherry Blossom is a nice, fresh green tea fragrance that dries down to, surprise, cherry blossom.

L'Artisan Tea for two - A masterpiece, lusciously smokey black tea with a honey edge.

Creed Royal Delight - Jasmine, vanilla, violet notes and amber, very ambigous -nevertheless fantastic.

For a perfect combo of both I go for Samourai!!!!! The Bvlgari tea scents are slightly too feminine for my taste wich bugs me because I love smelling them on my GF. Love the R&G green tea soap but havn´t tried the EdT.

SAMOURAI!!!!!! / Tobbe

My favorite straighter tea is L'Artisan's Tea for Two--it only really works for me during the colder months. My favorite straighter jasmin for men (lots of rose in it too but still masculine) is Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet.

L'Occitane's Thé Vert or Green Tea is also really terrific.

My favorite combination of tea and jasmin is the wonderful wonderful Thé Pour un Eté, by L'Artisan. I think it is at its best during the warmer months.

Let me second the suggestion of Thé Pour un Eté (Tea of Summer), by L'Artisan. This is wonderful stuff in the summer. I'm a sucker for tea frags - love Tea for Two also - but for hot weather this is such a nice change. Hints of Jasmine, mint, lemon, and green tea. For me, it evokes really nice memories of the beach, family, and warm evenings.
I also love Annick Goutal's Dual, Jaques Fath's Yang, and Bulgari PH.
Tea scents (and Geir) are all I can wear in the summer. I still have yet to find an aqua or citrus scent that really suits me.
