Black Tea & Amber is a signature scent I originally created over 20 years ago, and it has remained a timeless favorite ever since!
This is a truly captivating scent, layered with striking notes of smoky tea and roasted tea leaves, lifted by a bright touch of citrus at the top. It’s a fragrance that defies easy definition—complex, intriguing, and full of character. Hints of jasmine and white cedarwood weave through a warm base of amber and rich musk, while a subtle touch of ginger and soft florals adds depth and balance. Bold, distinctive, and undeniably memorable, this is a scent that commands attention and deserves a place in every den.

This is one of the soaps I ordered and then ended up in the hospital for 9 days, which included my birthday. I finally got to try it on the 29th. WOW! It is awesome. The scent profile hits you first. About an 8 to 9. The black tea comes out and the amber tickles at you. I thoroughly enjoyed the soap. The lather is slick and thick like yogurt and it removes hair easily and efficiently. And isn’t that what it’s all about…I didn’t purchase any aftershave but it went well with PAA Black Tea. Made for each other. This is a keeper for me. Thank you Monica

Black Tea & Amber is a much more complex scent than the name implies… there is a lot going on here. Overall, this falls more in the woody/musky category to me, but the tea, citrus and floral tones rounds it out to be a really nice combination. There is also an overall creaminess to it. Very nice!

Soothing complexity is what makes me reach for this soap, aftershave, and cologne every time the ultimate goal is relaxation. Just like all of the other Van Yulay soaps, a great lather for an effective and soothing shave is easily created even when face lathering. Only from the nose of Lady Monica could a fragrance so soundly capture a place in the mind that it invokes its own name when one is desirous of tranquility.
