    What an exhaustive analysis!

    Taking into consideration personal perception it seems m,e it's not what I am looking for:

    1. It does exude a somewhat Earl Grey like scent but, lighter
    I would like a strong tea scent.

    2. with a very light touch of sweetness, almost honey like
    Not sure my sensation would be the same...

    3. Not cloying or obnoxious at all.
    Here we go again into personal tastes

    Too bad fragrances are not something objective! :)
    I heard that also B&M Cheshire has an Earl Gray scent...
    I'd like to really smell tea!

    Thank you very much: you've made it clear to me!

    Thank you, gentlemen!

    If you can find it, "Black Tea" by Jeeves of Hudson Street is one of the best tea fragrances I've experienced. It is glorious in it's simplicity. I think this is what you're looking for.
