By the editors · 2 min readBlue Matcha opens with a bright citrus jolt—lemon and bergamot cutting through the air with tart clarity—before black currant adds a subtle berry darkness at the edges. The tea reference in the name is more conceptual than literal; there's no green vegetal quality here, only a clean astringency that gives way quickly to something earthier and more grounded.
The heart shifts into leathery territory, not the supple suede kind but something drier and more austere, threaded with cedar and shadowed by patchouli. Tobacco appears as a whisper rather than a statement, lending warmth without sweetness. The composition feels compact, almost monolithic—everything pressed together rather than layered.
By the base, ambergris and musk soften the edges into something skin-close and slightly salty. This is Montale working in their familiar high-concentration mode, built for longevity rather than subtlety. It skews modern and unisex, suited to those who want a leather scent that doesn't announce itself as such from across the room.
