Is Tea Escape still in production?+−
No, Tea Escape has been discontinued by Maison Margiela. It is now difficult to find in retail stores and is primarily available through secondary markets or private collectors.
How does the "puffed rice" note affect the scent?+−
The puffed rice note provides a toasted, nutty quality that mimics the aroma of Genmaicha tea. It adds a savory texture to the base, preventing the fragrance from becoming too sharp or overly sweet.
Is this a good choice for the workplace?+−
Yes, this is widely considered an excellent business or office scent. Its fresh, green profile and moderate sillage make it polite and professional rather than overwhelming.
Does this fragrance smell like a latte?+−
While it contains a milk note, it is more "creamy green tea" than a heavy, sugary latte. The maté and green tea keep it grounded in a botanical, herbal direction rather than a traditional gourmand.
