It's A Match-a

I hoped I'd fall in love with this fragrance - and I did. I didn't know what I was getting myself into beforehand, since this is my first from Versatile and I didn't have the chance to test it. But I love the taste/smell of matcha and I also love sweet, gourmand scents, so I thought I'd try this one. I'd put it on my christmas wishlist and it was gifted to me by my mom. It's a really unique perfume that (for me) is mostly true to the notes it promises. On my skin, it opens with a photorealistic matcha - more so evoking the raw matcha powder than a finished drink. Very green (in a tea way), a bit powdery. Then, slowly, the other notes start emerging. I get mostly a milky, sweet blueberry. Not a fresh juicy blueberry, maybe a blueberry syrup or a pastry with blueberries baked into it. At times, the blueberry note leans a bit synthetic but not in an unpleasant way (at least not for me). I can really imagine the blueberry pancakes it's trying to evoke since there are definitely notes of sugar, vanilla and milk. The heart and base are cosy but not overly sweet and the matcha lingers nicely in the background even as the fragrance progresses. After about 8 hours, a pleasant sweet gourmand memory lingers on my skin. The only listed note I haven't really smelled is pistachio. Overall, it's a really unique and honestly fun perfume to wear. I've been wearing it every day since I got it and I love it. I keep sniffing my wrists and the scent always makes me relaxed and happy. It's not too strong and mostly stays close to the skin, which makes it a good candidate for an everyday perfume for me. I think it leans more femme but the opening is more genderless.

Whipped, sweet and green matcha, which meets piercing blueberries and mild pancakes. It is amazing, most enjoyable combination. Some notes are familliar, this perfume has typical Versatile profile. A very tasteful combination, encouraging apetite and comfy mood. No doubt about its uniqueness. Maybe I'm rapt, but I find this scent inspiring and extremely charming. It is very well-blanded and uplifting. --- Projection is moderate, longevity 3-4 hours, then re-apply... nice in every season, I suposse.

I really love the way this smells since I'm a fan of gourmands, however I would not recommend it to someone looking for a true matcha or even a general matcha scent. It does just smell like really sweet and comforting blueberry pancakes with maybe a HINT of the matcha you're drinking with the pancakes, it adds only the slightest bit of greenery to the overall baked-goods smell.

Whoa! Amazing. Green, fruity, milky, comforting and pretty. The blueberry smells a little synthetic, but it offsets the richness of the other heavy notes and gives it a lightness that works beautifully. It’s a fruity, floral gourmand, and it’s bright and strong. A statement fragrance that may not be a live for everyone, but it is for me. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

This caught me off guard! I was like :'huh', than 'oh', than 'no' than WOW!
