I’ll fully admit, tea scents were something I used to avoid and then I tried Gris Charnel. It was nice but I wanted something more. I fell into a rabbit hole of tea scents until a Reddit post told me about a local Seattle perfumer with “The Tea House”. Upon opening the bottle, I was a bit confused as it opens strongly with peaches and jasmine. Unlike any other tea scent I had tried so far, I was curious and waited for the dry down. The heart notes lift around an hour in and the peach fades into the jasmine more. Now it’s a softer warm citrus and the tea notes bloom. The base of this perfume is floral but the citrus never completely fades away. Overall, this is easily a year round scent and one that’s going to stay in my rotation.

My only complaint is that the largest size is 10mL. I’m hoping for a 30mL release one day in future.

I bought a sample of Garden Heux along with several other beautiful scents from SAMAR. Each of these scents was transportive and very enjoyable, but Garden Heux stood out in its freshness and photorealistic evocation of a garden, especially with its tomato leaf note. Perfume is a hobby of mine and rarely do I smell something so fresh and original and also natural; it does not smell like a perfume section of a department store. It smells like a fully realized moment and place.

Recently, I am going through a severe crisis with my father being hospitalized in the ICU. He was on a ventilator until a few days ago and is now able to breathe on his own. As he slowly came awake again, and I could speak with him at last, I offered a sample of Garden Heux to him on a piece of gauze for him to smell and to transport him to a beautiful fresh garden while he is healing. He loves the fragrance and it means the world to me to be able to share this experience with him and take him just for a moment out of the hospital environment with such a gorgeous, thoughtfully made scent.

My father is not a perfume hobbyist like me, but he breathes this scent in very deeply. I have many samples of perfume, and I would not consider bringing any other in to provide such a depth of emotional support like this smell provides. It doesn't just smell good but really takes you to another place. I am very grateful to you for making such beautiful smells that truly utilize the power of this sense. They are more than just perfume.

Perfectly captures the vibe of walking thru a home garden in the warm summertime. Scent lasts for a long time, too!

I got this scent last winter and it soon became a favorite staple! I love the citrus smell, and love that it’s much more than that. It really is a walk in an orange grove. Great way to brighten a winter day in the PNW and all other days and evenings of the year also

All of the scents are amazing! I mostly wear the grove is in the heart, but wanted something floral for days I’m feeling flowery and great lei is perfect!!

jasmine ftw! one of my favorite scents

These perfumes smell so good and are such good quality :) they came in cute packaging and the customer service was wonderful :)

LOVED Happy Trails, one of the BEST scents I've ever smelled

Smells great 10/10

I ordered two scents- Speakeasy and The Tea House. Speakeasy is a bit strong for me, so I use it sparingly; a little goes a long way. I really like The Tea House- it’s softer; very pretty.

My spouse rarely comments on perfume choice, but when I tried on a little bit of a mini I got he noticed immediately and commented without me even asking. It's a very fresh and vibrant scent. Another great perfume from Samar.

I got Garden Heaux, Grove is in the Heart, Tea House, Golden Hour, and Beach Berry and they are actually very nice sizes for samples. There was only one that I didn't really like, and it because it's just not my style. But they all wear very well, and the oils last a long time. I do love all the others, and I think they are great summer or winter scents. I think the sample sizes would last me a good amount of time, but this set was a really great to get to try out a variety of different scents!!

A delicate blend of orange and linden blossom. It’s a balance of a photorealistic orange orchard and this beautiful classical “perfumy” accord. My favorite!

Thank you, Samar, for creating this fragrance. This was the first fragrance that immediately transported me to a past version of me. On me, this opens sweet, but in a dried fruit kind of way, rather than a sugary or cloying way. The way it develops is so complex and beautiful, with the smoky and leathery notes dipping in and out as time passes. Personally, this transported me to the coffee shop I studied in almost daily my final year of college. It's since closed and I mourned never being able to return, but one sniff of this fragrance and it's like I'm back there again. Genuinely so grateful this exists!

This dries down to a "your skin but better" scent except the better is a vegetable garden. It's a scent that I'm going to be sniffing on bad days when I'm too sick to get out of bed and during the dead of winter when nothing grows.
