mat; limited Masakï Matsushïma 2014

If I had to test "mat; limited" without knowing who composed it and which perfume brand distributes it, I would have initially been absolutely convinced that I had a typical Hermès scent with Elléna's signature on my skin and in my nose.
Now, Masaki Matsushima's fragrances are also minimalist, light, and in contrast to Elléna's scents, very distant and cool.
However, this style has not been completely adhered to in "mat; limited".
"mat; limited" is a feminine fragrance, to get that out of the way.
It starts off lightly spicy, green, fruity, and subtly sour, with no red berries or anything similar. I sense the bitterness of green tea more than I actually perceive it. So far, I have only encountered one fragrance where I truly recognized the declared tea as a scent. That was a fragrance from L'Erbolario. Otherwise, it seems difficult to authentically weave tea aromas from black and green teas into perfumes. Yet, teas in the can smell typically distinct, and also when properly brewed.
Well then: "mat; limited" presents the green delicate fruits along with the somewhat more intense osmanthus scent. This gives "mat; limited" substance; otherwise, it would really just be a splash. The rose has something of very thin rosehip tea flavored with roses. It's surprising that I can even perceive it alongside the heartier osmanthus. This makes the fragrance more lovable. Lotus and water jasmine mean nothing to me in terms of smells and scents. It is by no means the heavy and oppressive jasmine we are familiar with, nor the pipe shrub. I think of lotus as a note I couldn't identify some time ago from another fragrance. I am gradually narrowing down the lotus scent by testing fragrances that are supposed to contain it.
However, it seems to me that they are more or less identical to the often listed tea notes in the fragrances. I cannot recognize bamboo scents as I know them. However, "mat; limited" is rounded off by a slightly creamy musk scent, and its crystalline distance is broken, giving the fragrance a slightly creamy-powdery quality.
And with that, "mat; limited" begins to say goodbye. A bit of green, not sweet, not bitter is still there. Quite nice, actually. But the fragrance is too distant for me; it lacks - yes, a passion, a bit of sensuality.
At least, Elléna has spiritually been a godfather to "mat; limited", but the temperament does not reside within it.
Longevity and sillage are very low. And thus, "mat; limited" is a light spring and summer fragrance.
