Nishane Wūlóng Chá X Extrait de Parfum is a vibrant, refreshing and sophisticated unisex fragrance that takes the celebrated Wūlóng Chá DNA in a softer, more floral and contemporary direction. Launched in 2023 and created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet, Wūlóng Chá X combines sparkling citrus, aromatic green tea, luminous magnolia, fig and musk to create an uplifting scent inspired by the tranquillity of tea gardens and the warmth of the Mediterranean.
The fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot, yuzu, mandarin and litsea cubeba, creating an intensely fresh and zesty introduction. The citrus opening has a lively, almost sparkling quality, making Wūlóng Chá X immediately refreshing and energising.
At the heart, green tea, magnolia and thyme oil create the fragrance's signature character. The green tea brings an aromatic, slightly herbal freshness, while magnolia adds a creamy, luminous floral facet. Thyme introduces a subtle aromatic sharpness that keeps the composition crisp and sophisticated.
The dry-down becomes softer and more comforting, with musk and fig providing a clean, subtly fruity and gently creamy finish. Compared with the original Wūlóng Chá, the X version is designed to soften the sharper edges of the original and enhance it with floral elements, particularly magnolia.

The Scent
Wūlóng Chá X is a beautiful choice for anyone who enjoys fresh citrus, green tea, aromatic and clean musky fragrances.
The opening is bright and invigorating, with citrus fruits providing an immediate burst of freshness. Green tea then becomes the star of the composition, creating a calm and refreshing sensation, while magnolia gives the fragrance a softer and more elegant floral dimension.
As it dries down, musk and fig add a gentle warmth without making the fragrance heavy. The result is fresh, green, citrusy, floral and effortlessly sophisticated.
Unlike many fresh fragrances that disappear quickly or feel overly simple, Wūlóng Chá X has the concentration and structure of an Extrait de Parfum while maintaining an airy and refreshing character.
Performance
Wūlóng Chá X offers a refined balance between freshness and longevity. Its Extrait de Parfum concentration gives the fragrance greater depth, while the citrus, green tea and musky facets maintain a clean and uplifting character.
It is particularly well suited to spring and summer, daytime wear, holidays, travel and warm-weather occasions, although Nishane describes it as suitable for wearing throughout the year.
RRP
Nishane offers Wūlóng Chá X as an Extrait de Parfum in 15ml, 50ml and 100ml formats. UK retail pricing can vary by retailer; Harrods currently lists the 50ml at £295.
Gender Positioning
Unisex – designed for both women and men.
Its combination of citrus, green tea, magnolia, fig and musk makes it highly versatile and particularly appealing to anyone who enjoys sophisticated fresh fragrances.
