All about this fragrance

Vibe check

This is the scent of someone arriving with a calm face and a slightly wicked idea. Its tea-and-floral brightness reads clean at first, then the savory spice gives it a quick sideways glance, making it feel intimate, witty and a little subversive rather than polite.

How to wear

Best in mild to warm weather, where its green freshness and sparkling fruit-floral core can stay crisp. Apply lightly at first: the extrait concentration will sit close to the skin but still project a bright, teasing trail, especially in air movement and heat.

Who it’s for

For people who like clean green fragrances with a twist: tea notes, airy jasmine, soft fruit and an unexpected savory edge. It suits wearers who enjoy modern niche compositions that feel transparent, clever and a little off-center rather than conventionally pretty.

The nose

Anne-Sophie Behaghel is an independent perfumer and co-founder of FLAIR, known for work that often feels lucid, tactile and conceptually sharp. Her style tends to balance clarity with a twist, making her a strong fit for fragrances that play with familiar materials in an offbeat way. For Culot Thé, she translates the idea of jasmine tea and apricot into something greener and more mischievous, letting the spicy, savory accents cut through the floral-fruity core. The result reflects her ability to make a brief feel immediate and legible without flattening its personality.

Collaborators

Coralie Frébourg, Versatile’s founder, shaped the concept around jasmine tea, apricot skin and wasabi, giving the fragrance its food-and-drink-inspired brief and its playful edge. FLAIR, the independent creative studio credited on the official page, appears as the collaborative framework around Anne-Sophie Behaghel’s composition.

Versatile’s story

Versatile builds compact, concentrated fragrances around everyday pleasures rather than classical perfume codes. The house favors mood-led wear, food-inspired ideas and a deliberately alternative format, presenting scent as something personal, flexible and easy to change with the day.

Culot The’s concept

Culot Thé was developed from Coralie Frébourg’s idea of jasmine tea meeting apricot skin and wasabi, turning a familiar tea-time image into something brighter and stranger. The fragrance belongs to Versatile’s early collection, which was conceived around ordinary moments and French conviviality rather than traditional perfumery narratives.

Extra info

The name plays on the French expression for audacity, and the fragrance itself leans into that spirit with tea, apricot and wasabi. It is part of Versatile’s compact extrait format, designed to be concentrated and easy to wear in a smaller bottle.
