Bittersweet. Creamy. A tea ceremony in a bottle.
There’s a moment in the Japanese tea ceremony when the matcha is whisked into a jade-green froth and the first sip hits: vegetal, slightly bitter, then unexpectedly creamy. That’s the moment this fragrance lives in.
It opens with crushed violet leaf and the powdery, almost savoury greenness of fresh matcha — not the sweetened latte version, but the real thing. The heart introduces lily of the valley and jasmine sambac, delicate white florals that float above the green base like steam rising from a chawan. A whisper of marine notes keeps things airy. The dry-down is cedarwood, styrax, amber, and musk — resinous warmth that wraps around the tea like cupped hands around a warm bowl. This won Best Women’s Perfume — Silver Award in China, though it’s beautifully unisex in practice.
For the quiet aesthete. Someone who finds beauty in ritual, slowness, and the space between things. Sunday mornings, reading nooks, meditation corners. Not a crowd-pleaser — a you-pleaser.
Packaging note: this fragrance may be labelled as either “Japanese Matcha Tea” or “Matcha Tea” — same award-winning formula inside.
