Beyond The Wall

Milky spiced tea is the idea behind Beyond The Wall, a shared fragrance from Gritti composed by Luca Gritti and released in 2022. Everyone who describes it finds it spicy, green, musky and floral, and about half add gourmand and woody.

Ginger and cardamom open it with a warm, fresh spiciness, and artemisia adds a bitter, herbal green edge. Black tea sits at the centre, dry and tannic, softened by a milk note that gives it a creamy, comforting texture. Iris and violet bring a cool, powdery floral quality that keeps the tea from being too earthy, and the base of sandalwood and musks is smooth and quiet, letting the tea fade gently.

Worn by anyone, it is a gentle, slightly unusual scent that works for daytime and cooler months. It should appeal to people who like tea fragrances and are drawn to the chai-like combination of spice, milk and powder.
