Genmaicha rag & bone 2019

I generally love tea scents and I am particularly fond of the scent of real genmaicha tea, so I had high hopes for this. It's a nice perfume, but it doesn't tick the boxes for me. The rice note is not the nutty slightly savory rice found in the actual tea, but is more powdery. It's more floral than citrus (despite the listed notes) and I probably wouldn't have pegged it as a "tea" scent if I was sniffing it blind. It's pleasant, very wearable, and inoffensive. It's just not very "genmaicha."
