Matcha Milk

Sweet, vanilla, powdery, lactonic, green, musky, nutty, warm, amber, citrusy, luminous, feminine, sensual, charming, whimsical, dreamy, delightful, delicious, alluring, tempting, addictive, intriguing, inviting, cozy, comforting, unique On me this opens with an herbal and green black tea note and radiant bergamot which melts into the heart of sensual and powdery vanilla, creamy milk, rich and nutty macadamia, and green match tea. The dry down envelopes you in soft musk, the golden warmth of amber, and just a whisper of patchouli. The black tea note really helps to enhance the matcha tea note here, and to keep this centered on being a creamy matcha latte. This is super cozy, comforting, yummy, sweet, and creamy - a sweet and creamy matcha latte with vanilla and touches of macadamia! I’m obsessed with Phlur’s mists, and I own a bunch of them! My top 5 faves are Heavy Cream, Vanilla Nectar, Beach Skin, Cashmere Skin, and Vanilla Skin. Matcha Milk does somewhat slightly remind me of Heavy Cream and Cashmere Skin. I also own a couple of Phlur’s perfumes, Afterglow (which is nice enough) and Honey Moon (which I absolutely love!). I don’t have a ton of matcha, or tea fragrances, although I do own Kilian Princess, and it happens to be one of my very top favorites! I get great performance with Matcha Milk, especially considering it’s a mist. The longevity is between moderate and strong as it lasts around 7 hours on my skin. The projection is moderate, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me.

For a body mist, as a gourmand enthusiast, this is one of my favorites. For $40, It's perfect if you're just getting into layering scents and starting your fragrance journey. For it's price, this isn't very surprising, but it opens up with a slight rubbing alcohol smell, but quickly dissipates after a second or two. The scent is very delicate afterwards. The bergamot and black tea is subtle and I don't think I'd notice it if I didn't read the notes. It starts off mildly lactonic with a stronger vanilla and earthy matcha note. Once it fully dries down I don't get much of the patchouli. It has a creamy, musky, amber finish and the slight hint of patchouli perfectly compliments it. Overall, if you're looking for a step up from B&BW body mists, love earthy vanilla scents, or just need a light spring gourmand, Matcha Milk is 100% the way to go. Once I inevitably run through this bottle, I will be buying another.

The ultimate layering mist! I replaced what was left of my Heavy Cream with this, which had gone dark brown and somewhat sour. I have no idea where we're getting the "matcha" branding of it all, but to me this is a better version of Heavy Cream. I suppose it's Light Cream! Slightly less full-on dairy milky and therefore more wearable. *Just* enough tea/fresh notes to brighten it up a touch. Lactonic, heavy on the vanilla as it dries down. So cozy and yummy! I will echo other reviews and warn that it is whisper-light. I like that because heavy frags give me a headache and I feel like I can never get through them (lol), but yeah you'll need a heavy hand with this one.

It's a body spray so of course it's not going to perform like a EDP, but regardless, this is a gorgeous fragrance. First of all, I hate matcha. I think it tastes like drinking a bag of liquified lawn clippings. But the smell of this is stunning. It isn't like matcha to me. It's a sweet, creamy, milky scent with green notes that keep it from being too heavy or cloying. I normally hate layering fragrances, but I really like this way this smells with Paris Corner Lactea Divina. It enhances it just like hot sauce enhances food without ruining the fragrance profile.

Bought this on a whim about a month ago because I had heard good things about Vanilla Skin and Heavy Cream by Phlur as a duo. Since matcha is all the rave atm, I decided to give it a shot (alongside the others). I'm so glad I did because I actually love this more than the other two. It really is what it says it is. It's one of the best creamy matcha fragrances out there and smells akin to a vanilla matcha latte. If Phlur made this into an EDP, I'd be first in line to purchase it.
