This very much gives Imagination made with rooibos. I know people like to compare any tea scent to Imagination, but in this instance I think it fits. Most of the notes overlap, so it makes sense. I'm not suggesting this is any kind of clone, just in that realm. This is heavier on the cinnamon and not quite as fresh, while still being bright with the citrus & bergamot. You could fit this nicely between Imagination & Winter Palace. WP is much more citrusy and stronger ginger. This is also not like African Rooibos, which I also have. AR is much sweeter & creamier, heavier spices.

The rooibos in this is nice and prominent, the cinnamon and spices are warm but not densely spicy, there is little sweetness, the citrus is bright but not sharp. It is quite fresh for a rooibos scent, and not very woody, which was my issue with Dynasty and L Red Tea Vetiver. They wound up being too masculine for my tastes. This is not nutty and musky like Bvlgari Thé Rouge. This scent is very unisex. Solid performance, strong but won't choke out a closed space. This is one of the best fragrances I've tried from Oakcha. Having tried quite a few rooibos scents, this is solidly unique among them.
