A journey between citrus freshness and spicy oriental notes that captivates and intoxicates. A fragrance to awaken our senses and elevate our consciousness.
Perfumer: Serge de Oliveira
"In the summer, to refresh my mind, I like to walk along the paths of lemon trees, filled with sunshine and light. The smell of the barely ripe lemons is intoxicating and lively and mixes with the purity of the air. Eau de Thé & Gingembre transcribes this sensation of freshness. It is a cologne with sparkling citrus fruits enhanced with a floral heart and a spicy note of ginger. Its bright scent is ideal for me for hot summer days."
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For the bright, unhurried hours before summer heat settles in: sleeves rolled back, an open window, a pause between tasks. The citrus and lemongrass feel alert rather than brisk, while ginger adds a small spark of energy and vetiver keeps the impression dry and composed.
How to wear
Best suited to warm weather, when its citrus brightness and light cologne intensity make a refreshing counterpoint to the heat. Start with two or three sprays on the neck and forearms for an airy presence; reapply lightly when you want to bring the sparkling opening back into focus.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer green citrus to sugary fruit, and a light cologne to a dense perfume. Mandarin and lemongrass provide brightness, ginger adds a lively edge, and vetiver gives the composition a dry finish without making it heavy.

The nose
Serge de Oliveira is a perfumer at Robertet, the Grasse fragrance house known for its expertise in natural raw materials. His work spans independent fragrance brands, with an emphasis on expressive ingredients and clearly drawn olfactory contrasts. For Eau de Thé & Gingembre, he translated the scent of barely ripe lemons into a sparkling cologne, balancing citrus brightness with flowers and ginger.
100BON’s story
100BON approaches French perfumery through accessible pricing, ingredient-focused compositions and creative freedom for perfumers. Its emphasis is on the fragrance rather than elaborate presentation, with refillable bottles and restrained packaging reflecting a practical approach to reducing waste.
Eau de thé & Gingembre’s concept
The inspiration comes from Serge de Oliveira’s summer walks among sunlit lemon trees, where the lively scent of barely ripe fruit mingled with clear air. Eau de Thé & Gingembre translates that memory into sparkling citrus, a floral heart and spicy ginger, conceived as a refreshing cologne for hot summer days.
Extra info
Despite its name, the current official note pyramid does not explicitly list tea. It does specify ginger CO₂, Haitian vetiver and Atlas cedar. Early coverage also identified Eau de Thé & Gingembre as one of 100BON’s best-selling colognes.
