High tea experiences may seem outdated to some but have been re-emerging in recent months. Synonymous with luxury, these sensory events have been popping up across the globe and have been a favorite among fashion labels including [Anya](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anya-expands) Hindmarch and [Alexander McQueen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flannels).

Most recently, British perfume maker [Floris London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floris-london-tea-experience) joined this long list with a custom high tea experience that indulges the senses. Held in promotion of its latest fragrance, 'By Request,' Floris London's venture can be experienced at the label's 89 Jermyn Street boutique.

The happy hour event is a non-traditional take on afternoon tea and bears the name "Thirsty Thursdays." In addition to its bergamot and mandarin Napoleon cocktails, this experience features perfume-inspired teas and desserts that boast artisanal ingredients.
