it started with a warm cup of milk
“When I was young, my mom would make me a warm cup of milk each evening before bed. Years later, I found myself continuing the same ritual, steeping fragrant black tea and adding delicate lavender and aromatic cardamom to create a comforting cup all my own.”

this is: a creamy, cozy lavender tea that stays close and lingers on your sweater
this isn't: a sugary candy perfume that fills the room
“Omg, I usually don’t like floral scents but you guys nailed this perfectly. Best lavender scent ever.”
“Exquisite fragrance. The notes are very nuanced. It’s not a loud fragrance and it’s very elegant.”

researchers have found that memories brought back by a smell feel more emotional than memories brought back by other cues. that's why we build every scent from a real moment.herz & schooler, american journal of psychology, 2002

“okay so I’m not big into perfume or anything (this was the first fancy one I had ever bought) but OH MY GOD it makes me want to dive headfirst into the perfume world if something can smell THIS good.”
“I was looking for a “soothing fragrance” and this is it!”
“It’s my perfect bedtime scent!”
“I tried it in a sampler and it haunted my dreams and I had to get a full bottle.”

does it smell like actual tea?
the tea comes through as it wears. it opens on bright, floral lavender, settles into caramelly, milky tea, and hours later reads closer to soft black tea with lavender.
how long does it last?
the new you beauty awards editors said it “lasted all day.” it stays close to the skin rather than filling the room.
what if i don't like it?
every full bottle ships with a matching sample. wear the sample first and keep the bottle sealed. if it isn't you, email us within 14 days of delivery for a return label for the unopened bottle in its original wrapping.
returns apply to us orders, and shipping fees aren't refundable.
what does extrait de parfum mean?
extrait de parfum, sometimes just called parfum, is the most concentrated of the standard fragrance labels, above eau de parfum and eau de toilette. the labels describe ranges rather than one exact strength, so for how it actually wears, see how long it lasts above.
is shipping free?
yes. this bottle ships free within the us.
