Genmaicha

This is one of my favorite fragrances, period. I find it incredibly unisex, and it does not lean masculine on my chemistry (if anything, I would say leans feminine on me). Overall, it makes me feel energized and upbeat and optimistic — yet grounded. I just went on a long, solo roadtrip and this was the scent I reached for more times than any other, as it hits that perfect balance of energizing without being sharp or citrusy. It's a smooth, rounded green tea scent -- probably closest to matcha without milk. Powdery in the same way matcha is powdery (not typical "powdery perfume"). The scent is fairly linear on my skin. Lasts all day, but I tend to re-up in the afternoon as a delightful pick-me-up and because I really enjoy the stronger projection. And, I often need an energizing pick me up in the afternoons! :) Both silage and projection are moderate for 4-6 hours, followed by another 4-6 hours of intimate projection (and almost no silage). I've almost gone through my full 8ml tester and will absolutely be buying a full bottle.

I absolutely love Rag&Bone Genmaicha so much that I only wore it twice before buying the full-size bottle. This fragrance is so special and unique. It's definitely unisex, maybe leaning a little more on the masculine side due to the freshness and woodiness. If you like Le Labo Santal 33, you may really like this. It has a similar smokey/musky/woody base, but with a refined freshness as well. The green tea balances out the woodiness in a really fresh way. To me, this fragrance smells really green, while still smelling a bit smokey. I also get a note of petrichor that is not listed, but it really does remind me a bit of the way the earth does after a rainy day. I will say this fragrance is not for the faint of heart - it's strong and possibly polarizing. But I think it's so unique, special, well made, blends beautifully into my skin. TL;DR - Smells like a rainy late summer morning the day after you had a bonfire with your closest friends, with a steaming cup of matcha in hand.

This is superb. It's clean, fresh, and perfect for warm weather without having any of the notes that generally bring summer frags down. No bitterness, no brininess. Just warm wood, light jasmine, and of course, the tea. The wood notes here don't read as cedar to me--- maybe more of a teakwood? It's not sharp or barbershop-y at all, which is what I associate with cedar most of the time. Really great alchemy within the notes present. Smoky, green, gentle but elegant. Top notes lean feminine, dry down leans masculine so it evens out into feeling unisex. Perfect for the office, brunch, or better yet, an outdoor wedding (tons of those where I am). I feel like this is the summer frag I've been looking for and I plan on buying a full bottle after I go through my decant.

I blind bought this a year or so ago, I am not even sure why. Probably because I was obsessed with matcha at that time and was making it daily. And as someone below me said, it was the most successful blind buy of my entire life up until a few weeks ago when I bought Iris Bleu. I LOVE this fragrance. Please don't insult it comparing it to a plastic mess that is Sunday by Arielle Shoshana. Genmaicha is pure unsweetened matcha tea, lightly starchy rice and amazing bright citruses. Calm and peaceful. It's such a shame that this doesn't get any hype whatsoever... a complete lack of advertising is to blame, perhaps. And yes, OMG, that bottle. When I am holding it, I do not want to put it back.

I got this in travel size and I loved it this summer, especially on 90+ degree days. I agree it's unisex and a bit more masculine at first. It smells green and bitter on me, but I swear it begins to smell more fruity sweet (and more femme) after a couple of hours and continues to get sweeter as the day gets hotter. I realized it on one such super hot day when I got into my boiling car and smelled something yummy, then after a few seconds I realized it was ME wearing Genmaicha (4-5 hours after application)! If there ever was a fragrance with multiple personalities it would be this one, or it's a Gemini.
