Surprising Japanese tea fragrance
Here, the matcha note reveals itself as a gentle, smoky green tea aroma—subtle and restrained. The opening is a burst of crisp green tea paired with sage, delivering a sharp, cooling greenness in the first moment. I especially love this combination—it’s refreshing and uplifting.
The white florals aren’t particularly prominent, but they give the heart of the fragrance a lightness and transparency that makes the tea note feel even more refined and luminous. There’s a fascinating duality to the scent—it feels both sweet and slightly bitter. That touch of bitterness enhances the realism of the tea, making it almost tactile, like powdered matcha itself.
The tea note here beautifully channels the essence of Japanese aesthetics: clean, precise, disciplined, and delicate. You get fresh florals, a bittersweet green tea accord, and soft woods—all layered in quiet harmony.
Overall, my impression is simple: a work of elegance. Longevity is quite good, though the sillage is more intimate—making it a perfect scent for the office or quiet moments. It nourishes the spirit.
Highly recommended for tea scent lovers.
