By the editors · 2 min readMatcha begins with a herbal-citrus opening — sage provides a slightly resinous green quality alongside bright yuzu and lime. This isn't the sweet green-tea accord common in many matcha fragrances; the sage gives it a more serious, aromatic character before the fruit softens things. The citrus element stops the herbaceous opening from turning medicinal.
The heart moves into pear and lily of the valley, with cardamom adding a spiced warmth that keeps the florals from becoming too airy. Rose contributes depth without announcing itself. The base resolves into a warm finish of sandalwood, tonka, and vanilla — creamy and restrained. The effect is a crisp aromatic feminine with good contrast between the green-herbal top and the sweet, close drydown.
