The composition then settles over Musk and Sandalwood for a smooth, comforting finish.
Clive Christian presents L Red Tea Vetiver as an uplifting and invigorating fragrance. The Maison compares the warmth radiating from the rooibos heart to the luminosity of a sunrise, balanced by crisp citrus and rounded with comforting musk and sandalwood.

Top Notes
The fragrance opens with Primofiore Lemon and Bergamot.
Primofiore lemon provides crisp, vivid citrus brightness, while bergamot adds a smoother aromatic citrus character, creating a fresh and energetic opening.
Heart Notes
The heart reveals Rooibos Tea and Vetiver.
Rooibos introduces a warm, gently sweet and softly spiced aromatic quality, while vetiver contributes green, dry, earthy and woody depth.
Rooibos—also known as Red Bush Tea—is technically a South African herbal infusion rather than traditional tea from Camellia sinensis. It provides the distinctive “Red Tea” identity referenced in the fragrance name.
Base Notes
The composition settles over Musk and Sandalwood.
Musk creates a soft, clean and skin-like finish, while sandalwood adds smooth creamy warmth and rounds out the dryness of the vetiver.
Parfumo additionally lists Cashmere Wood in the base, although it is not included in Clive Christian's currently published official structure.
