The long two-year wait is over: the new Exaltatum perfume has been launched.
Exaltatum proudly introduces its latest niche fragrance, Afternoon Tea, a scent that captures the essence of one of England’s most beloved traditions. This perfume is a harmonious blend of sophisticated notes designed to evoke the serene and indulgent experience of an English afternoon tea.
The Tradition of Afternoon Tea in England
Afternoon tea is a quintessentially English tradition that dates back to the early 19th century. It was popularised by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, who found herself hungry between the light luncheon and the late evening meal. She began inviting friends to join her for an afternoon meal of tea, small sandwiches, and cakes. This practice quickly caught on among the upper classes and became a fashionable social event.
In England, afternoon tea is more than just a refreshment; it is a ceremonious affair, often enjoyed in sunlit gardens or grand tearooms. The delicate clink of fine china, the rustle of crisp linen, and the gentle hum of conversation create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
The ritual of afternoon tea typically includes a selection of finely brewed teas, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam,an assortment of pastries and cakes, and a glass of perfectly chilled Champagne. It is not just a meal but a social experience, a time to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family in a refined setting.
The new bottle design was inspired by the exquisitely turquoise-glazed fine china teacups served at the iconic Fortnum & Mason department store.Â
Experiencing Afternoon Tea by Exaltatum London
Afternoon Tea perfume is more than just a fragrance, it is an olfactory journey that mirrors the delightful stages of an afternoon tea service. Each note has been carefully selected to transport you to a tranquil afternoon, sitting in a sunlit garden or a cozy tearoom, savouring the delicate flavors and aromas of a traditional English tea.
The fragrance opens with a refreshing burst of pomelo, bergamot, and lemon, blended with the delicate floral notes of magnolia and the earthy freshness of yerba mate leaves extract. Top notes are invigorating and bright, reminiscent of the initial sip of a perfectly brewed cup of tea.
As the scent unfolds, the heart notes reveal a lush bouquet of champaca flowers and jasmine tea, interwoven with the mouth-watering aroma of a delicious creamy dessert.
The fragrance settles into its base notes of smoky vetiver, comforting musk, and a rich vanilla infusion. These deeper, more complex notes provide a soothing and lasting finish, akin to the lingering warmth of the final moments of an afternoon tea, where conversations deepen and relaxation sets in.
Afternoon Tea is a fragrance that unfolds like the perfect tea service, each note meticulously selected to evoke the sensory delights of this treasured tradition.
The perfume is crafted for those who appreciate the art of fine living, who seek to carry the timeless charm of an English afternoon with them, wherever they may go. Whether gracing a grand event or enjoying a quiet moment at home, Afternoon Tea by Exaltatum London will envelop you in a fragrant celebration of tradition, elegance, and the simple pleasures that make life so exquisite.
