Earl grey tea scented car diffuser and perfume oil

Met Yuzu Leaf, a wonderful Los Angeles-based perfumer who crafts fragrances- like Hanayuzu & Lychee Tea- as perfume oils, candles, & more. Got Earl Grey Tea (fresh, invigorating, sweet) for me & my car!

Top: Bergamot
Middle: Lime, Earl Grey Tea Leaves, Cucumber
Base: Amber, Musk

Assorted colorful buttons including buttons with a bird on a branch, shell pattern, and checkerboard

Just had the best day ever at Buttonham Palace. It's a knitwear store that specializes in buttons for every occasion. They even have a throne. And a camel, for some reason. Got these darling little fruit buttons to add to my tote bag.

Phalaenopsis gigantea orchid necklace

Another gorgeous orchid necklace from my favorite creator, DeliciousJunior: "Phalaenopsis Gigantea. Fresh flowers smell vaguely of lemons 💛"

In conclusion, Bisous Bisous is fresh, bright, floral, and vanilla but not a tea scent. Shiro's Earl Grey is closest to earl grey tea but is a very light body mist, so the scent fades quickly. Dispelled is an earl grey lavender vanilla latte- good for gourmand lovers.

I've posted about d.grayi's Dispelled before, and despite being similar to the previous two, I'm STILL tempted to purchase. This is a bit more rounded with the vanilla and lavender. Perfect for Fall/Spring, reminiscent of Sorce's Moon Magic.

Now, the Earl Grey body mist is a cup of freshly brewed tea. Photorealistic. Shiro's website says: "It is also an easy item to use for people who do not use perfume or who want to enjoy a gentle fragrance at home." 🎶

TOP: Bergamot
HEART: Tea, Rose
BASE: Musk, Amber

Geneviève is one of my favorite California fragrance houses. This isn't meant to smell like tea. Instead, imagine walking through a garden of bergamot trees and roses, with something sweet and spiced baking in the distance. The bergamot is initially bright and sharp but mellows out.

Phalaenopsis hieroglyphica orchid necklace

"Third customer"?! Idk how the whole store isn't sold out, the orchid necklaces are the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. From DeliciousJunior

Thé Vert is a little stronger, with beautiful notes of black tea and jasmine. I love this so much!!! But I'm sure you can find similar scents from Elizabeth Arden's green tea line or other brands. 2/2

Gorgeous, photorealistic tea scents. Need to make a raspberry matcha latte immediately.

Perfect for work and sensitive noses, the raspberry version is more subtle. Fresh berry opening with an almost minty dry down- smells just like a cup of tea. But are they worth $120 USD? 1/2

Sorry fellow ants 🐜 (gourmand lovers), this one is for the bees 🐝. Can't Stop Loving You smells just like the orange blossoms blooming in my yard. Subtle but beautiful.

🎶 based on official description: Orange blossom, paradisone, honey, vanilla, oak moss, incense

The base notes of vanilla, cookies, and sweet dough are really pleasing, though a bit removed from cinnamon rolls. I think overall, this perfume does a good job of replicating the individual components of cream cheese, cinnamon sugar, and dough. Not for me, but I enjoyed it.

This opened with an off-putting, tangy cream cheese scent. It then melted into more of a creamy cinnamon smell, reminiscent of an autumnal candle. Still yummy though.

Cinnamon Rolls, Theodoros Kalotinis. 🎶: cinnamon, sugar, butter, vanilla glaze, melomakarona cookies, sweet cream

I like Theodoros Kalotinis but the scents are always a bit off on me... 🧵

The best matcha of all is when it's shared with a friend.

Iced matcha latte with strawberries preserved in sugar and lychee flavoring

Inspired by @rekohearts- I've had lychee flavored syrup for the longest time and finally figured out what to do with it. Added it to strawberry milk for a lychee strawberry matcha latte.

Been loving Dispelled (the most heavenly earl grey vanilla latte) and Pandan by d.grayi. Pandan is subtle on its own but fantastic for layering

Bright green bánh da lợn (tapioca cake) and matcha mixed with pandan tofu pudding, coconut cream, and sago

A close up of the matcha

I brought my grandparents some pandan tofu pudding yesterday, and thought: WILL IT MATCHA? 💚

needed my big boba straw, but yes it was really refreshing. Would be perfect for the summer. The pudding came with coconut cream and sago, and I served with bánh da lợn (tapioca cake)

Annie's Pasta & Cheddar Pixar edition with Dori, Dash, Woody, and Mike Wazowski

Macaroni and cheese with broccoli, cauliflower, squash, cilantro, and paprika

Pixar boxed mac n cheese. Blown away... By how insanely bland this was out of the box.

Do not get Annie's unless you are full prepared to dress this with garlic, Worcestershire, pepper, etc. etc. Maybe a little quicker than homemade at least.
