The Moon and I

Mmmm.... this is a b s o l u t e l y stunning!!! Tea-addicts dream, nose glued to wrist aiming to catch every single whiff wishing it would last forever... but soon, the pain settles in... and grows rapidly as you realise that this scent is is also s t u n n i n g l y fleeting!!! Never have I felt so frustrated with a longevity before! Moon and I promises the world and more, yet is gone in a bare blink of an eye.... In the early morning it is the dark brew of fresh earl grey with a drop of milk that kicks off my day. Soon after getting to the office, my sanity and balance relies on calebasa with fresh yerba mate and an accompanying thermos. Every day. Throughout the meetings, calls and desk-focused moments. Therefore, its virtually impossible for me not to love this scent. This is the clearest most gorgeous fresh dry mate with smokey slightly bergamot-flavoured black tea. When I sniff it, it makes my gums ache demanding for a sip. Mind-clearing, perspective-providing, pure and simple. The absolute beauty of the moment. A deep meditation in the scent. Cedar pencil shavings note is a flawless second stage that is very fitting and preserves the gentle otherworldly equilibrium Moon and I transports you to. With minimalist concept, this smells straightforward yet extremely rare. Perfection in simplicity. But the fact it dissolves in just 30 min almost makes me cry... unless I'd double the cost of €250 and add Between Two Trees as a shadow to make it last for an hour. The cost for this pleasure would be criminal.

Green tea11/13/22 10:38 Tea perfume with tea with tea floraiku perfume "the moon and i" A story between the flower of the night and the moon A tea perfume in the sense of the word as if you smell a box of tea and papers The Moon and I - Chris's Fragrance Essay Chris read haiku content on the official website, “In this dreamy world, the moon solo, I think of the flowers that bloomed last night.” The moon is like a dream to me. The moon shines in my heart, the body is a little happy, and the well reflects the moon. I’m lonely Eventually it turned out to be empty. Haha~ That's why the fragrance suddenly showed a sense of nothingness and emptiness. When I drink this cup of tea I can rest. (This fragrance is very philosophical, Chris only smelled for 15 minutes, I recommend friends to measure it!) The performance of the perfume is magical 🧙 that does not last long and disappears suddenly The smell is picked up from 1-3 hours A philosophical perfume and an art painting as opposed to being a perfume used.

Heartbreaker: gorgeous, authentic, botanical tea that barely projects and doesn't survive much past 2-3h on my skin. One of the most startlingly true-to-life sense impressions of tea I've ever smelled, tea in its essence, just as realistic as the tea notes in, say, OJ Qi or Mona di Orio Bohea Boheme. In other words, truly great great tea - almost as good as the tea note in Memo Winter Palace, which would make sense as Floraiku is one of Memo's alternate brands I believe. Price shockingly high, sillage severely limited, longevity sickeningly short for the $$$. Still a stunningly original, classy, restrained sense impression and so discreet and unisex it could be worn anywhere by anyone. All is calm, tranquility, refinement. If you can afford it, the presentation is hugely classy and restrained, just like the scent itself. But why can't they just brew it a little stronger so its restorative healing properties can be felt for longer? An enchanting infusion, but a fatally weak one.

Ahhhh finally! I've been on the search for great tea perfume especially black tea or matcha, but not green tea especially like Elizabeth Arden Green Tea been smelling it for years got sick of it (sorry EA). So I bought the 10ml one, and this is how I think tea fragrance is. The fragrant smell of fresh steeped tea with enough bitterness. Other tea fragrances I found most of the time sweet floral with just a hint of tea, or even non-existent. Love it, but I do agree with other reviews that this doesn't last long only 3-5 hours and that's unfortunate quality for fragrance under MAMO. Thus $55 tax excluded for 10ml and full size cost around $300 for 60ml (set) is quite expensive. I'll see if this worth every penny or not. I just use it maybe 5-6 spray this week, as far as it goes other than longetivity I don't have any drawback yet.

This is a soothing tea bomb. The mate is very prominent, herbal and bitter but aromatic. A bit minty, but a dry mint, like dry crumbling leaves. Then it became a bit sweet on my skin, a bit creamy and green, but not the fresh type of green. Feels like you're in a Japanese natural hot tub (Onsen) in the middle of a pine forest, drinking a cup of warm tea. The dry is a soft woody scent, tea and I also got cardamom and tobacco notes here. Like a fresh tobacco, a bit sweet & green and a very subtle smoky scent. But it's very very weak on my skin, it probably last only for an hour then it's gone, completely gone. But it's still very good for bed time.

If this perfume weren't so ludicrously expensive, I would happily wear it every day during the winter. It feels so cozy. I had a sample vial and used it to completion within a week. It lasted a surprisingly long while on me (12 hours or more). I couldn't stop smelling my wrists. It smells just like actual matcha powder does, with the slightest hint of vanilla, but not in a sweet way. It's earthy. I still think about it a year later. I want so badly to have a bottle of this, but my god, I could probably buy liquid gold cheaper per ounce than this perfume

I have a lot fragrances. I like to think I'm a connoisseur. Different fragrances call for different moods and I believe I understand the nuances of it all. This fragrance is incredible. You certainly have to love hot tea; and I do. I drink it every day. There is nothing like drinking a fresh cup of hot Japanese tea. That is what you get when you put on this fragrance. It's pure. Elegant. Traditional. Japan.

perfectly captures the green, slightly bitter (but not unpleasant) smell of tea. has a meditative element to it - like the tranquility of a rainy summer morning, warm enough to leave the windows open to hear it pour. never really got why/how people wear fragrances to bed until I smelled this. super calming, but super weak - good for at home but probably not for wearing out

Super herbal and aromatic! Very realistic and a bit sharp on my skin. It does dry down luxuriously, with spice lingering. However, the scent is very light and fleeting due to the notes they used. It lasted around 3-4 hours before completely dissipating on my skin. Works wonderfully as a layering fragrance.

Photorealistic mate, like they distilled the scraped dregs of the bottom of a damp mate gourd. I can even hallucinate some vague metallic bombilla aftertaste with this if I'm particularly bored. Ephemeral and exploitative of my nostalgia for the years my parents lived in Buenos Aires.

This is beautifully earthy and rustic, a calm and quiet kind of scent for a shy, bookish person. Unlike anything I've tried as a perfume and I'd love nothing more than to smell strongly like tea all day. That said, the price/volume/lasting power make this one quite a delicacy.

A FANTASTIC tea fragrance, unbelievably realistic and practically tasty. Sweet, black tea. Beautiful. Really truely if this wasn't $300 USD I would buy it immediately. 9/10

Imagine Drinking a Good Cup of Tea, Fast - Incredibly realistic bittersweet tea note - Nice bitter/sweet balance - Amazing drydown - Relatively linear - Absolutely unisex

To me, this smells like brewing Lapsang Souchong tea over an open fire. So warm and nice and comforting. I love it! Would really love to own a full bottle.

Perfume with tea notes, wood, very fresh, the smell of a forester! A real masculine scent, if you like to smell natural and natural, I advise

One of the fragrances I had once been unfair to; so I’m revisiting it now. The scent is a clear trio of matcha, mate, and bergamot. Its earthy and tea-like character comes through vividly. It’s also quite woody, but not in a soft way; more like sharp, slightly smoky cedar or guaiac wood. What I enjoy most here is the mate: its smoky, tobacco-like, black-tea nuance is beautiful. The matcha adds a fresh, uplifting, and slightly sweet counterpoint. In short, it’s a solid tea fragrance. Longevity is modest and it clings closely to the skin, which is why, despite my love for tea, it’s always lingered somewhere in the background of my sample collection. Tag(s): matcha, mate, realistic tea, earthy, smoky

I 100% agree with some of the reviews below (especially @bintTapputi and @katariina9). This is a tasty sweet black tea + a tiny hint of citrus scent (with the mate taking a prominent role, and an almost oolong note behind it), and if it wasn't so crazy expensive, I would like to have it too. I get nearly three hours longevity from it, with enough projection that I can smell it on myself, and I would definitely wear this to work. While it's not my favourite scent from the discovery set, it's very unique, and worth getting your nose on if you are a drinker of fancy tea, because it does smell of quality loose-leaf tea.

This is well of a tea-focused fragrance. I find it mostly oolang and mate, you can feel the dustiness of these tea sorts. It has some slight smokiness aspect to it as well, very gentle and present only in the opening. However, it has almost zero Power, gone after 2 hours and veeeeery soft sillage. It would be perfect for workplaces, where you are not allowed to wear perfume. Or in hot-hot summer. Since I don't have netither of these two condition, it is not for me. Well, I like the scent of my tea in a jar, not all over me. Definitely sample first.

This scent to me is a well-crafted fragrance that reminds me of a Japanese traditional house. While the first whiff gives you a soft tea scent, the notes that follow shortly after and lasts smell like bamboo to me. So overall, I like it very much as a scent and an experience. It’s nostalgic. However, honestly speaking, I’m not sure it’s something I’d want to smell on myself all day. I wouldn’t mind smelling it on someone else though.

As a scent it's lovely, very realistic black loose tea and I love it. But as perfume it's a no from me. First of all I love the scent of tea, but do I want to smell like a tea shop? No. Also I put this on 1 hour ago and then did my hair with a mildly scented products and the subtle smell of those totally overpowered this and it's gone.
