Nishane Wulong Cha Extrait (Tester)

Description

Wūlóng Chá is Nishane's citrusy ode to oolong tea, composed by Jorge Lee and launched in 2015. Bright bergamot, orange, and may chang (litsea cubeba) open into a warm oolong-tea-and-nutmeg heart, settling into a soft fig-and-musk base — a summer-friendly Extrait that reviewers praise for staying light while still lasting all day.

How It Differs From Wūlóng Chá X

• Wūlóng Chá (this bottle, 2015): a steeped, fig-and-musk tea with a nutmeg warmth — the original, cozier read on Turkish tea.
• Wūlóng Chá X (2023): a brighter 10th-anniversary reissue built around green tea, magnolia, and yuzu — crisper and more floral-citrus.
• Pick the original if you want a rounder, warmer tea; pick X if you want something greener and more citrus-forward.

Scent Character
