Culot Thé is French for “tea time”. This joyful jasmine and apricot-infused tea perfume is spiced up with a kink: notes of ginger, garlic and wasabi playing peek-a-boo with the fruit and floral. Sparkling and smile-inducing.
Perfumer: Anne-Sophie Behaghel
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An afternoon pause with the window open and a cup of jasmine tea cooling beside you. Apricot lends a soft, welcoming sweetness, while the wasabi-like edge keeps the mood alert rather than sleepy—a quiet presence with a mischievous detail.
How to wear
Its green tea and citrus character suits mild spring days and warmer weather. For the original oil-based roll-on, apply a small amount to wrists or the sides of the neck: skin placement favors a close encounter with the apricot and jasmine, while keeping the savory spice measured. Reapply lightly rather than layering heavily.
Who it’s for
For tea-fragrance lovers who want something beyond citrus freshness or soft florals. It will particularly appeal to tastes drawn to green scents, restrained fruit notes and culinary contrasts—apricot and jasmine with a savory, wasabi-like interruption rather than dessert sweetness.
Release year
2021 (or 2022)
The nose
Anne-Sophie Behaghel is a perfumer and co-founder of Flair, an independent fragrance creation studio. Her work spans niche perfumes and bespoke compositions, with an emphasis on translating distinctive creative ideas into wearable scents. In Culot Thé, she reworks jasmine into a tea accord, setting apricot softness against an unconventional savory-spicy edge.
Collaborators
Versatile founder Coralie Frébourg shaped the collection’s culinary creative direction, drawing inspiration from watching Top Chef. Her concept for Culot Thé centers on jasmine tea, apricot skin and wasabi; Anne-Sophie Behaghel translated that vision into the fragrance.
Versatile’s story
Versatile Paris treats perfume as a changing wardrobe of everyday pleasures rather than a fixed signature. Its culinary curiosity, genderless approach and restrained packaging challenge conventional luxury storytelling, while ingredient transparency and a pragmatic mix of natural and synthetic materials underpin the house’s identity.
Culot The’s concept
Created for Versatile’s debut collection, Culot Thé starts with jasmine and turns it toward tea. Apricot-skin softness meets ginger, garlic and wasabi-like spice, with citrus bringing brightness. The idea reflects the collection’s culinary inspiration: a familiar tea break made unexpectedly savory and playful.
Extra info
The original is a 15 ml alcohol-free roll-on extrait with 30% fragrance concentrate in a plant-oil base. Its disclosed materials include garlic essence, black tea essence, osmanthus absolute and sesame CO₂. A separate spray interpretation arrived in April 2026, described by Behaghel as fresher and more sparkling rather than a direct transfer of the oil formula.
