Le Labo Thé Noir 29 vs Dossier Citrus Tea
Citrus Tea is Dossier’s stated interpretation of Le Labo Thé Noir 29. Both official descriptions bring fig and bergamot into a woody setting. Le Labo frames the original around black tea; Dossier also lists tea, with details including hay, peach and incense. Those references suggest what to look for without proving an identical drydown.

These are published ingredient declarations, separate from scent notes. “Parfum” or “fragrance” can represent a mixture without listing every component. Formulations can change by market and batch; check the packaging on your bottle. A matching or missing entry does not establish suitability for an allergy.

What to notice when sampling.
Ask whether tea, fruit or woods lead the experience for you. Compare the opening brightness, then return to the samples for the drier impression. If you are seeking a tea fragrance specifically, note whether you still recognize that aspect after the citrus opening has settled.
Compare the Thé Noir 29 Eau de Parfum spray with Citrus Tea Eau de Parfum. Do not substitute a scented body product. Thé Noir 29 and other Le Labo tea-named releases are separate fragrances; the pairing on this page is specific to Thé Noir 29.
- Label separate blotters so the scents do not mix.
- Write down the first impression, then revisit after the opening settles.
- Try each on a different day under similar conditions. Record comfort, scent development and when you last notice it.
Use that record to choose for your own preferences. Note lists do not reveal ingredient proportions, and an eau de parfum label alone does not predict longevity.
Compare the purchase.
Check the same bottle size, exact edition, shipping and return terms when comparing prices. The cards show dated US list prices, not live stock or checkout quotes. Official brand references are retained for editorial verification.
A larger bottle is only useful value if you want to wear the fragrance. Begin with a sample where available before committing to either option.
Before you choose.
