drank Iskandar by Mariage Frères
1840 tasting notes

Another tea I decided to grab when I ordered my MF advent. I love violet flavored things, so was quite excited to try this. I was even more excited once I tried Thé Des Impressionnistes, the other tea I added onto my order, which was incredible. This was not incredible. It’s not a nice violet. It’s a cat litter violet. The terrible musty perfume smell that scented cat litter has- that’s this perfume. I really need to retry this, hopefully it will be better on a second try.

Ha, cat litter – that’s a bummer but reminded me… Have you tried Macaron Cassis Violette from Dammann Freres? When I first got it earlier this year, it smelled like cat pee. Let it rest for a while and it turned into lovely, delicate violet.

Good to know on both counts XD
