Sweet, green fragrance that smells like a bathroom in a fancy restaurant

I was really excited to try this fragrance because I love tea and I love fresh fragrances! On first spray, I was initially intrigued, but…it really fell flat.

Unfortunately, I don’t get any tea from this, and contrary to what most people seem to get, I don’t get “fresh” at all—just green. There’s definitely cedarwood and vetiver and fig, all notes I normally like, but the combination in this particular fragrance is lackluster as far as I’m concerned. It all combines with a sugary sweetness that makes this smell unlikeable for me and even slightly nauseating.

Personally, as someone who likes clean, fresh fragrances, and dislikes overly sweet fragrances this one is definitely a miss. If you like sugary, green fragrances, however, this fragrance might be worth trying for you.

The Matcha 26

Reminds me of drinking hot lemon grass tea while sitting on a cedar-wood patio watching the first spring rain fall wrapped in a cashmere sweater

This is the first Le Labo scent I’ve ever tried. Honestly not sure if I buy the small batch perfume idea. So far I love how subtle and creamy this scent is. It’s fresh but also with a warm undercurrent to it. I’ll definitely be putting this in the spring scent rotation next year. Looking forward to trying some more of their most popular scents.

Great Scent but Fig not Matcha

The Matcha 26 is a smooth and powdery fig scent at its core. There is a nice hit of citrus in the beginning but that fades quickly to a sweet and powdery fig. A greenness lingers throughout the perfume from top to middle, but gives way to a woody and vetiver filled dry down. This is a super enjoyable scent to me, very calming and soothing like sitting under a fig tree on a warm summer day. I was a bit disappointed that the matcha was not present at all. If the perfume was not named The Matcha I most likely would not know there was a hint of tea at all.

essence rather than is?

The famous, viral, trending scent that captured the attention of the fragrance community. I found myself wanting to try this scent after a thread from a user on fragrancetwt. It's a calming scent but I cannot fully find the matcha notes in the scent. It's green and fresh, a revitalizing smell that soothes people like a good cup of matcha tea, but it does not have a matcha scent.

I am one of those people whose skin chemistry does not agree with Le Labo, so the scent usually lasts 2~3 hours for me.

Weak tea

Like many Le Labos, this is overwhelmingly a vetiver and cedar bomb which means your tolerance or affection for their brand of sharp woods will be tested. There’s no matcha here, except if you squint hard there might be a hint of slight grassiness in the background, buried underneath the woods, vetiver, some tea and citrus peel. It’s also surprisingly soapy for me in the drydown. Performance is weak and with the recent price hikes, not worth a full bottle.
