Bland perfume-y blend of synthetics, not really milk tea

In contrast to Scoville which actually smells just like a chili pepper, Milk & Matcha doesn't really live up to the billing. It's a bland "perfume"-y fruity creamy floral thing that smells like a department store feminine fragrance. Like other reviewers have stated, the old name for this fragrance was "Un Été," or "summer," but it doesn't really fit that either. Not really fresh enough for summer. The matcha accord is very slight and smells more like a more traditional tea accord rather than having the bitter dustiness one would associate with matcha. But it also doesn't smell like actual milk tea, just a hodgepodge of synthetic notes that don't really seem to come together into anything cohesive.

Nice but not for me

Just got a whiff from my blotter. First I was puzzled, it smelled definitely familiar like I perfume I own in my teenage year. Then I got it, “This is her” from Hugo Boss, an overly sweet chemical juice taking dust in my teenage room. But the notes are different but on my paper those are really similar.
On paper : No matcha just really harsh sweet synthetic notes for me
On skin : okay definitely need to tried on skin, initially i do get creamy sweet, slightly aromatic. But definitely sweet on first impressions

It's okay, but i don't think i want to wear it more than just a bit, so i might finish the sample and it's good.

not the best matcha latte I've ever had

An incredibly authentic matcha latte, but not necessarily a well made one. The mug is a bit soapy, the tea is too bitter, the milk is oversweet and a little scalded, and for some reason they squeezed a tangerine over top. When I got this it was still called "Un Été," which is no good. This is too creamy and lactonic for summer. It's much better suited to spring.

matcha, maté, and dry vanilla

subtle citrus and airy white florals swirling around dry matcha and earthy maté in a beautifully balanced tea composition. I appreciate that the sweetness is minimal for most of the wear here, only amplified in the dry down, where it’s a drier and more aromatic take on a vanilla. The tea’s earthy and almost bitter elements make the vanillic aspects much more interesting. A very simplistic and grounding tea scent with a sweetly comforting dry down.

Tea and milk from different points of view

I love milky tea gourmands. They really are one of my favorite perfume microgenres. Sweet and heavy like Kilian Princess or light and fresh like Replica Tea Escape, I can't get enough of them.
But of course, I don't want them all to smell the same, and I'm happy to report that Milk & Matcha brings something new to the table.

Its milkiness is not purely realistic and edible, there is also a clean, musky aspect to it. I really enjoy the interplay between these two different milky facets of the scent.
The matcha part is just as multifaceted: Herbal and aromatic on the one hand, fresh and invigorating like a glass of iced green tea with lemon on the other.
Despite all the contrasts, the blend feels very smooth. Over the time it changes its focus from aromatic to musky to vanillic in a seamless, subtle way.

This is a lovely daytime choice that is very versatile and easy to wear. It's especially suitable for mild weather like in springtime, but never really out of place all year round, as it's both warm and fresh.
I really appreciate that it's such an easygoing and clean scent, but still has some complexity and doesn't feel boring.
