I love Commodity Tea. I found it at my TJ Maxx. I get the calming vibe, but at the same time,, I also find it uplifting.. I really hope the company gets back into full swing. They had such good offerings.

Commodity Tea is the star of this selection. I stopped by my local TJ Maxx and picked up a couple of bottles before they are gone forever (doesn't look like the new Commodity is reviving this particular scent). When Commodity went out of business and the remaining stock was dumped on TJ Maxx and Marshalls a few years ago I picked up a lot of their fragrances, but Tea was the last one I purchased as an afterthought. It was a banged up open-box marked down clearance bottle and I ended up loving it and searching for another bottle at a reasonable price. I am very happy that finally I got a second chance.
@gerardgeorge2 жыл бұрын
It is a fantastic scent. So happy to have added it to the collection. I went on commodity’s site and in addition to the rebranding it seems they have dropped tea from the lineup.

I think Signature is an outstanding value if you like a really powdery, sweet/clean laundry smell. A baby powder vibe. Good office or dress up scent when you don’t want to stand out too much. Hugo Iced is a good do also, for hotter weather and the gym. Minty tea, with a cooling menthol effect.
