NICCOLO CHENGDU PRESENTS THE ‘FIGUE’ AFTERNOON TEA

Niccolo Chengdu

Hotel news | Dining, 1 February 2026
Chengdu, China, 1 February 2026 – Inspired by the newly launched ‘Figue’ fragrance from the world-renowned luxury brand TOM FORD, Niccolo Chengdu unveils its exclusive themed afternoon tea of the same name. Available from 1 February to 31 March 2026, this elegant, limited-edition set will be served at The Tea Lounge on the third floor of the hotel. Drawing inspiration from the refined notes of Kadota fig in ‘Figue’, the essence of Morello cherry in ‘Electric Cherry’ and the fusion of peach and Sicilian blood orange in ‘Bitter Peach’, the hotel's Pastry Chef reinterprets the classic afternoon tea with rich, enticing berry and honey aromas. Each exquisitely crafted pastry, from presentation to flavour, reflects the sensual depth and elegance of the fragrances, offering guests an immersive, curated sensory experience. 

Pastry Chef Una has ingeniously crafted six uniquely shaped, creative desserts inspired by three floral and fruity fragrances: ‘Figue’, ‘Electric Cherry’ and ‘Bitter Peach’. Among them, the iconic Fig Cheese Mousse resembles a real fig, with ripe pulp encasing a smooth cheese filling, delivering a soft texture that weaves together delightfully sweet and subtle savoury notes. The Bergamot Ganache features a rich chocolate base, with the fresh, bright aroma of bergamot emerging from its semi-sweet profile, echoing the lime and bergamot middle notes of ‘Figue’. The Brown Sugar Cream Banana Puff features a luscious cream filling infused with sweet caramel, reflecting the fragrance’s base note of rich brown sugar, and a full-bodied and velvety mouthfeel.

Inspired by ‘Electric Cherry’, the Chocolate Tart is crowned with a plump cherry, gently infusing the fruit’s fresh tartness into the mellow bitterness of chocolate, unveiling a sweet temptation within. The Jasmine Mousse fuses the pure floral scent of jasmine with the bright, sweet-and-sour notes of blood orange, embodying vibrance beneath a tempting sweetness. Capturing the gentle charm of ‘Bitter Peach’, the Peach Mousse features a delicate peach fragrance complemented by elegant oolong tea cream, which refreshes the palate and draws guests into an exquisite experience of captivating aromas. Each dessert is a narrative of scents, transforming the essence of perfume into a sophisticated journey for the taste buds.
