It doesn't smell like "chai tea" at all. It's more floral.
The top note has a stinging scent that is both stimulating and refreshing. It's already interesting, but it gradually changes into a beautiful scent that you can't imagine from the bottle. It's the delicate scent of flowers that you would expect from a woman. What on earth was the energetic scent at the top? However, I felt that the "scent of black tea!" and "scent that you can love and hate!" at NOSESHOP were a little different...
(From the brand)
The world of you and me is an open playground. Diversity is now the norm. Sharing is like a game. A two-person trip around international cities. Just as we can't live without water and air, you and I are now inseparable.
Top: Tea, cardamom, "Sharing"
Body: Freesia, orange flower, "People"
Base: Cedarwood, coumarin, musk, "Playground"
I think the creators of Maison Matin are probably knowledgeable about various music and cultures, and each of them has a subject that has impressed them.
The top note was cardamom. It certainly had a refreshing spice scent. It was fresh like lemon juice. I couldn't detect any tea notes at all. Cardamom was dominant.
I don't think there are many people who would blindfold themselves and smell it and say, "This is chai tea." It's better not to think of it as a tea perfume. It's easy to see how it changes from there into a gentle floral. I especially smell freesia. It's a slightly aquatic, transparent scent. I wonder if it's called an aqua floral.
It's interesting that there is coumarin towards the end, but it's not vanilla. That's why it doesn't end with a sweet scent, but a fluffy scent, with the coffee-like spiciness of cardamom and the gentle cedarwood blending together. It's very clean and unobtrusive.
The scent lasts for about 4 hours. It's a recommended scent for those who want a light spicy floral.
----------Below are my thoughts
The text before the English translation says Come to me! Come to me! I thought it meant that you should come over here too soon.
Perhaps you and I are perfumers (or this perfume) and us, and the world is our playground. At the top, we have a synesthesia-like experience, and then we mix, intertwine, and intermingle, transforming into a playground... it's a scent that is very globally conscious.
I think Maison Matin is probably skeptical of the concept of a certain type of perfume, so it seems to be intentionally avoiding easy-to-understand flavors. If you think of it as a "black tea perfume" in your head, it becomes that, and if you think "this is an unknown scent," it's not a black tea perfume. There's an irony in that.
I think the trap that perfume lovers fall into is to classify it as a "black tea perfume" and lose sight of the essence of the scent itself. Classifying it as a "type" is reassuring and convenient, but did the creator really create it to be called a "type"... The perfume is complete in its own world, so I wonder how we can say it's a "type".
I thought that such "categorization" itself is not necessary in this borderless world after smelling the scent. Therefore, I feel like we are trying to be freed from concepts such as whether it is for women or men, what age it is for, or what season it is for.
