Opening is banger status. Bright, citrus, fruity, and a little sugary. Kind of like preserves. But surprisingly very fresh and zesty. Effervescent like sparkling soda. Very slightly soapy in an aldehydic way. Clean. A little rosey and a little aquatic. After about 10 minutes, it gets a little more rosey and fuzzy. The aldehydic backdrop becomes more apparent. Still good, fresh, zesty, and a little sweet. But not as good as the top. After about an hour it starts getting a little fuzzy and a little powdery. Very slightly woody, somewhat smokey. And generally lower odor. Still sweetish. At this stage it's fine. Above average.

This perfume doesn’t smell “crazy,” yet in my mind it remains an anomaly. In a market oversaturated with both lackluster matcha lattes and uninspired matcha perfumes, this one offers something truly unique. It leans more toward a matcha tonic, letting the tea’s zesty facets shine alongside ginger and lemon. The real magic, though, is in the seaweed note. I hate aquatics, but this perfume avoids that entirely. Instead of veering fishy, the seaweed feels like opening a window near the ocean. A clean, salty breeze, a breath of fresh sea air. Not overly citrusy, not overwhelming. Just the perfect matcha tea to cool you down.

Totally underappreciated fragrance. Very bright and clean. Ginger, sea notes, pepper, soap, macha on the open. It develops nice on the skin, dries down to a tea-lovers dream with moss and musk complementing as the day goes on. Roan has done a great job creating four different and unique fragrances using tea as the inspiration. This is the one I bring out for really hot days.

This perfume became an instant full-bottle upgrade (the discount from So Avant Garde helped :)) This has the most beautiful seaweed note I've ever smelled. The opening is bright and citrusy, but the clean matcha (?! Yeah, they did that) and marine notes are the ones that linger. This is a contemplative adult summer scent.

Absolutely fantastic! All opinions agreee!!!
