Incense Man
I am unfortunately confused once again about how such a note pyramid comes about..
I don't smell any fruitiness or sharpness that the indicated mandarin and bergamot should bring. Right from the start, the scent (whether on skin or paper) is heavy and floral.
Quickly, a note emerges that simply reminds me of the small cones from an incense man. A bit musty.
Overall not heavy, but anyone expecting a fresh floral sensation with slightly green and bitter tea notes will be surprised by its warm spiciness.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough to say which note is so prominent that it overshadows all the others, but judging by the other reviews, it must be champaca. I initially thought it was benzoin. I would appreciate some clarification!
P.S.: Thank goodness I only bought a sample.. Contact me if interested.

Journey of Experience
At the beginning, there is an explosion, but not of exaggerated intensity, rather of richness in facets. I sense a slightly powdery artemisia note, accompanied by a subtle sharpness from the ginger. Also slightly floral.
This blend quickly transforms into a gently creamy note, without directly overshadowing the original top notes. A lightly lactonic tea becomes recognizable, which remains earthy and long-lasting as part of the fragrance composition and is still detectable in the base or dry down.
This wonderfully creamy-complex base is supported by creamy sandalwood and a slight spiciness from cardamom.
All in all, it is excellently balanced and absolutely unisex due to a generally shy sweetness and spiciness, which should not be underestimated.
Great longevity and sillage, but not linear.

A Foreign House
“I Am Coming Home” by Floraïku is a calming tea scent that harmoniously combines freshness and warmth. The opening is vibrant with a strong citrus note of bergamot, lemon, and a hint of spicy ginger - zesty, but for me, often a bit too dominant and long-lasting citrus notes.
In the heart, a gentle tea unfolds, combined with delicate violets that give the fragrance a relaxed tranquility.
The base provides a pleasantly warm, slightly woody depth.
All in all, for me, it is still (especially in the dry down) a rather masculine scent that radiates calmness and serenity.
A quiet retreat in the form of a flacon! Unfortunately, just not for me..

A Little Cup of Tea
This fragrance truly has a distinctive tea scent.
It feels warm and cozy, like a cup of tea warming your hands and nose. I can't say if I would compare it more to Earl Grey or chamomile, but it has a calming effect.
Unfortunately, it has one of the worst longevity performances I've experienced in a long time, hence just a "little" cup of tea.
Nothing that will accompany you throughout the day, but perhaps just right after a warm bath or before going to bed.

Too Sweet
"Matcha Meditation" impresses with a wonderful opening where the matcha note is beautifully noticeable. From the very beginning, however, a pronounced sweetness emerges, which almost develops into a bubblegum-like quality in the heart. Some notes seem to be competing for prominence, especially the sweetness of white chocolate and that of mandarin. Towards the end, the fragrance transforms into a creamy, soft base that carries a lot of white chocolate, accompanied by a hint (!) of matcha. A mostly harmonious, but very sweet gourmand that may not be to everyone's taste.
