Line-level evidence: longevity complaints are the most common criticism of the authentic Thé Yulong EDT — many buyers report only about 2–4 hours on skin, with some saying it is gone in 1–2 hours ('like u never sprayed nothing on you'), and one Parfumo reviewer explicitly wishes it lasted longer for the price. This is the authentic EDT, not a test of this Guangdong-made bottle.

This fits a buyer who wants the tea-citrus Yulong profile and will check the bottle on arrival. Line-level reports describe a clean, unisex office scent on the authentic EDT, but no independent review covers this listing or its Guangdong-made bottle. Confirm smell and wear before committing further.

Pros
- · The tea-citrus profile this listing points to has line-level buyer support on the authentic EDT: citrus plus green/black tea, clean and soapy, unisex, easy at the office.
- · Reported longevity is not uniformly short — a minority of buyers describe 6+ hours, and 6–8 hours in air-conditioned settings.
- · Catalog: 100 ml format, 12–18% fragrance concentration, 24-month shelf life, unisex positioning.
Cons
- · Longevity is the most common criticism of the underlying EDT — many buyers report roughly 2–4 hours, some 1–2.
- · Authenticity questions are documented for discounted online bottles of this scent, including one reviewer who found the smell different from an airport bottle and said it did not last.
- · No independent review covers this specific listing; the closest comparable Weidian thread carries only generic positive review with no detail on scent accuracy or longevity.
- · A Chinese reviewer calls the scent simple and easy for replicas to reproduce; a replica copy was placed at about 80% similar, close in the base.
Fit notes
100 ml, with a stated 12–18% fragrance concentration and a 24-month shelf life, positioned as unisex. The listing offers many named variants, so confirm which one you are ordering. No other fit information is stated.
Buy if
You want a 100 ml unisex tea-and-citrus eau de toilette for daily office wear, and you are comfortable checking the scent and longevity yourself once the bottle arrives.
Skip if
You need documented performance before you buy, or you already know short-wearing citrus teas disappoint you — reports on the underlying EDT often put wear at two to four hours.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
Is this the Armani Privé Thé Yulong?⌄
The listing sells Jade Dragon Tea fragrance alongside many other named variants and states Guangdong origin, non-imported. The buyer reports above describe the authentic Privé Thé Yulong EDT, not this bottle, so whether this one matches is unverified.
How long should it last?⌄
Reports on the authentic EDT split sharply: many buyers get about 2–4 hours, while a minority report 6+ hours or 6–8 hours in air conditioning, so wear looks skin- and climate-dependent.
A sharp alcohol blast right after spraying — is that a fake?⌄
Not by itself. Buyers of the authentic EDT note that heavy spraying produces a strong alcohol opening that fades into the tea note.
What about the shimmer version?⌄
Buyers say the scent matches the standard Yulong, with the shimmer adding roughly 100–200 RMB; the glitter does cling to clothing but shows only under certain lighting, and one buyer found it more projecting and citrus-forward.
Is there any buyer feedback for this listing?⌄
No independent review could be located for this item. The closest comparable Weidian thread has 18 short generic positive review and no negative review, with nothing on scent accuracy or longevity.
Evidence
Public notes used
Counter-evidence on the same scent: a minority of buyers report much better wear — 6+ hours ('留香度:6小时+... 洗完之后,手腕上依然有淡淡的香味') and 6–8 hours in air-conditioned settings — so reported longevity is strongly skin- and climate-dependent rather than uniform.
SourcePrice context from Chinese buyers: the 100 ml Thé Yulong has street/duty-free pricing well below Chinese counter retail — quoted around 800–900 RMB, with duty-free clearance lows near 400–600 RMB for 100 ml — so a very cheap 100 ml offer should be judged against that range rather than treated as an automatic bargain.
SourceFor the 玉龙茶香幻沙 / Soie de Nacre shimmer variant (listed here alongside the plain 玉龙茶): buyers report the scent is the same as the standard Yulong but costs about 100–200 RMB more for the shimmer, that the glitter does adhere to clothing but is only visible under certain lighting, and one buyer says the shimmer version projects more and is more citrus-forward than the original rather than identical.
SourceNo independent buyer review could be located for this specific Weidian listing (itemID 7622018676); the closest comparable Weidian thread for a 100 ml 玉龙茶香幻沙 bottle shows 18 short generic 好评 and zero 差评 with no detail on scent accuracy or longevity (14 of them default '好评'), so buyer-side verification for this listing is essentially absent.
SourceLine-level evidence (authentic Armani Privé Thé Yulong EDT, the scent this listing sells as 玉龙茶香): buyers consistently describe it as a well-blended fresh citrus + green/black tea fragrance with a clean, soapy, unisex character that is easy to wear at the office — 'a total masterclass in how to blend a tea/citrus fragrance'.
SourceAuthenticity risk is documented for discounted online Thé Yulong bottles: an HKTVmall reviewer rated it 2.5/5 saying the smell differed from the bottle bought at the airport and it did not last ('懷疑係假貨'), and a JD.com listing page for a 100 ml bottle shows about 10% negative reviews claiming the smell is different from the genuine article or that there is no trademark. This listing is described as non-imported with Guangdong origin, so buyers should test smell/longevity before trusting it a...
SourceChinese buyers say the Yulong scent is simple and highly reproducible by replicas: one reviewer calls it '平平无奇到了仿品能还原100%的程度' and notes a linear structure with a long sweet-tea dry down, while another says a 复刻 copy was about 80% similar, especially in the base, and cheap enough to spray freely as a daily scent.
