Citrus Matcha

smells very close to the matcha 26, albeit a little less "santal 33-esque" and a little more medicinal (to my nose at least). very creamy during the dry down, but not in a vanilla/cashmere kind of way, it's like smashing a fig against some cedarwood and placed a bunch of vetiver on top. i smell no matcha in this fragrance, and only trace amounts of bitter orange during the initial spray. if you're familiar with santal 33 and its trillions of clones, this fragrance is like a more dreamy, smooth, quiet, and almost ethereal version of that. longevity is okay, and the projectivity is not too strong, it's a skin scent for sure after a few minutes, but yea its pretty good :3

This review is from wearing it on skin for several hours. This is a bitter orange, vetiver, cedar fragrance tamed with fig and lemon. The notes are married and loud in the beginning, but dry down very soft and pleasant. This is a true wood scent that will likely smell 'spa like' and 'herbal' to most noses. If you like the OG, Matcha 26, and/or herbal spa smells, you will likely enjoy this scent.

This is such a creamy matcha, a hint of citrus but not overpowering. I cannot compare it to The Matcha 26 but I love this so much that i bought 2. I love the creaminess of it so much that I even wear it to bed.

This doesn't last that long for me, so I tend to layer it with a musk to extend the longevity but so far this is the only matcha fragrance that I actually like! All the rest for me are unwearable!

I personally really like this one. I got it because I liked the sound of Thé Matcha 26, but didn’t want to pay the price point. For me, I mostly smell fig and citrus, with a slight earthiness from the matcha and woodiness from the cedar. The matcha doesn’t smell like matcha, but instead just adds a little depth. I got a chance to smell Thé Matcha 26 recently to compare them, and I didn’t think they smelled exactly similar, although I could see how this was duping that. I think I actually prefer this one since it was a bit fruitier, compared to Le Labo being more like... Sophisticated?
