Matcha Ice Cream

THERE it is, winner of my own little matcha bracket. The lime note is very beneficial to the experience if you can get used to it. The first few times I sprayed, I was confused why it was "burst of fresh crisp lime" plus "creamy vanilla ice cream." After I while, I did start to smell it probably 'as intended' which was not as lime but as a fresh, grassy component to bump the matcha accord. Now, it's all I can smell and it's absolutely beautiful. But I think it's completely fair if that lime note throws people and they disregard it because it was odd before I got used to it. This one is just bright, innocent, fun, but not too young. You would not smell this in a middle school locker room with all the other girly ice cream scents. It's just creamy and balanced and bright. So glad I got this for a great deal and can put my own matcha trialing obsession to rest for a while.

Oh my goodness, right on the nose! I’m immediately hit with the bright lime zest and sweet matcha tea! It literally smells like matcha ice cream in a waffle cone, but in a wearable way! It’s creamy and sweet, and the matcha keeps it fresh and green, with a slight earthiness. The lime zest makes it pop, adding dimension. Simple, yet interesting. Delicious and super photorealistic! On my skin, it holds full power for about three hours before softening to a creamy sugary vanilla. I’m catching whiffs of it as I move throughout the day. This would be beautiful in the spring. I love it and need a full bottle!

I was so excited to try this since Sorce has a similar fragrance but they don’t ship in Europe sadly. My oh my. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, sour and gourmand all in one. The opening with the lime is so fresh and immediately followed by the gorgeous green notes of the matcha. The ice cream and cone notes translate beautifully. I did notice that it didn’t last as long as the other three but it is to be expected with citrus notes and there aren’t any woods or resins to ground the fragrance at the base. Still, beautifully done !

I love this, but I’m not sure the name really reflects what I’m smelling. I get an instant hit of lime, but it’s sweet and there is a creaminess. As it dries down I start picking up the matcha note, it’s not the main note as the name suggests, but it’s green, earthiness twinned with the sweet cream somehow works so well on my skin and I find it a really beautiful and addictive scent. I find the TK perfumes a bit hit or miss, but this and Peach Macaron are stunners.

I have only found two matcha perfumes I enjoy. This is the second one I have tried but my favorite. Lime is the first note and it is prominent, however when it dries down it is the best matcha scent I have experienced ever! I don't enjoy citrus scents and the brilliance of this fragrance demonstrates what a wonderful combination of the lime and matcha make. I This is my first fragrance with this line and I am looking forward to trying me. I was very impressed.
