Tea fragrance?
I know this is suppose to be a tea base fragrance but what I personally pick up is a bright blueberry lemonade as being the prominent note, with light tea undertones when it first hits your skin. Then comes the spicy amber along with a light tobacco note... This fragrance is very spicy and refreshing to me a stunner for every season of the year.. Another stunning release from my favorite fragrance house Montale. I don't think that anyone would be disappointed with this because it's very easy to wear.

Love it
Matcha tea has a tradition dating back thousands of years, with its origins in China.
Matcha later reached Japan in the 12th century when some monks traveled to China and discovered its powdered green tea leaves.
They realized that matcha could be very useful for their meditation because, due to the presence of theanine, it kept the mind watchful and the spirit peaceful.
So it was that when they returned to Japan they brought some seeds of the plant with them until it became an integral part of tradition and daily life, so much so that having one's own tea master became a symbol of the upper classes.
Blue Matcha is different from the style of Montale to which one is familiar, being a fresh, crisp, moderate fragrance and becoming in the middle part relaxing ( perhaps the properties of this plant also act here).
Suede and slightly tobacco notes in the final part soften it even more, making it in my opinion very elegant and adapted to any occasion.
Try it to believe.

7.2 is a joke!
The scent is a clear 9 for me. I completely love it; it is very fresh, aquatic, citrusy, slightly sweet, and pleasantly cool leathery. I have no complaints about the fragrance; longevity and sillage are perfect, not too strong, but really good. The leather note is excellently integrated, adding a cool touch for summer. I bought the fragrance blindly after many tips from Angelina Patchouli (great price-performance) and was not disappointed. You can safely wear it at work too. A unisex summer/spring fragrance for any occasion, and it flies very under the radar!

Addiction..?!
This fragrance from Montale is definitely one of the best! Originally recommended by an acquaintance, the scent captivated me.. this composition of citrusy blue tea transitioning to black leather with tobacco is genius!! The fragrance never loses its blue tea DNA and is built on a harmoniously executed base note!
However, the bottle is a cheeky affair.. visually pleasing but qualitatively like a Christmas ornament with a spray head!! It could definitely be better, but it is still worth its money (on sale)!

Confusing Mediocrity
The fragrance notes are so complex and wildly mixed that the scent truly sparked exorbitant curiosity in me.

Upon the first spray, one is indeed taken aback. Blue Matcha is so different and combines citrus notes with bitter tea and leather. This makes it very special.

Unfortunately, after longer testing, the disillusionment set in.

Over time, it unfortunately comes across as very synthetic, and wearing it does not provide the same feeling as on the test strip.

I showed it to 3 people:

1. Smells like mosquito spray
2. Smells like an oriental shisha bar scent. Not meant negatively or positively.
3. Smells very interesting. I want to keep smelling it on my wrist, but I wouldn’t want to wear it.

The last opinion hits the nail on the head.
One wants to keep smelling the sprayer or strip, but really doesn’t want to wear it.

That’s why the ambivalent reviews are actually very fitting.

The scent is noticeable, but for Montale level, it is really a subtle fragrance that always stays neatly in its bubble.

So you can wear it once, and in the air, it does have something special. But for oneself, it is unfortunately not as enjoyable as the notes first suggest.

So truly absolute mediocrity. It’s okay, but nothing more than that.

Fresh citrusy opening with berries and tea. Slightly tart, spicy, leathery and woody. Amber and musk in the base soften the scent.

Gorgeous fresh-herbal scent. A spice is very noticeable, maybe the matcha or the tea? Dry-down into a comfy powdery leather. Will buy it.

floral green tea, quite powdery overall. The Musk is maybe a bit feminine. You can tell its a Montale, slightly synthetic but not too bad

Lemon tea brewed on patchouli wood
I'm not proud of this scent
Musk quickly rushes in
And leathers everything into a uniform mush*

Hard to believe this is a Montale. A successful blend of fresh, citrus, leather, and subtle spicy notes with a hint of tea.

Always thought matcha is green.
I prefer it in a cup.
Fruity scent, sweet leathery.
Tamer than expected.

Smells like you’re putting a

lukewarm tea &
dripping lemon over it.
Strange scent.

The mix of teen notes, citrus notes, earthy notes, and leather is quite pleasant. Just has nothing to do with matcha. Uncharacteristically moderate for the brand.
