Arquiste - Indigo Smoke

For centuries, diligent monks in the Wuyi Mountains have grown tea and indigo plants in neatly terraced plantations. In 1646, their monasteries were attacked by Qing soldiers from the north. As the monks were forced to flee, they smoked batches of tea leaves over pinewood fire to preserve their crops. This would become the smoky lapsang souchong tea. Mixing with the fresh mountain air and the incense from nearby shrines, the intoxicating plumes of indigo smoke captured the colors of the Wuyi Mountains and their dramatic river narrows.

    Heavy pine
    I don't dislike this scent. It strikes me as more herbal smelling. Gender neutral. Good for fall/winter.

    THIS SCENT IS INSANE
    This one was a little out of my comfort zone and I was nervous to try, but it exceeded all of my expectations! At first you get hit with the smoky incense bitter black tea aroma, BUT THE DRY DOWN.. GIRL. It’s a subtle sweet apricot honey that smells divine. This is the PERFECT fall scent. I’m obsessed I can’t stop smelling my wrist.

    I can get what it was aiming for, but it smells like bug spray and a nursing home.

    Lots of smoke, little tea
    I was really excited about this one, and I just found it disappointing. As a big tea-lover, I thought this would be really fun and clean. I really just smell the pine tar.
