I'm a big, big, tea fan and anything with 'Tea' in the name definitely peaks my interest, especially 'Tea escape' I have to say I'm undecided and will definitely take another sample to work out just what's going on? I think it's the rice in here? There's definitely an unknown herbal type element to it? I think I know what rice smells like but I've not sure whether it belongs in a fragrance I want to wear. I will give tea escape this...it's a unique, almost odd proposition, even the tea is not a smoky, aromatic earl grey, neither is it classically dry or metallic? But it is definitely tea. Tea is typically coupled with citrus notes and it's refreshing that Maison Martin Margiela and Pellegrin have decided to go in a different direction with it. The osmanthus and floral element shouldn't be downplayed in this fragrance because it is a big part and as it settles offers up a unique flavour which reminds me of Lush products. That mixture of natural and synthetic it really is a very interesting smell. Must return to this one because I was tempted to buy it just for strangeness and had to refrain.
