Matcha Soft Serve

Probably the most photorealistic matcha i’ve smelled. However theres a couple if notes that brings it to this headiness I couldnt get over. I would get a sample of this to test.

A soft matcha inspired scent

Definitely a yummy matcha scent, longevity is approximately 4ish hours and it has minimal sillage and wears close to the skin. For anyone comparing this to Maison Margiela's Matcha meditation, I would say that the top notes of matcha smell very similar but the base notes are different. Matcha meditation is much sweeter in the dry down and matcha soft serve is much more of a powdery vanilla perfumy dry down.

Nutty & Unique

I enjoyed this sample quite a bit. It’s not as sweet as I had thought it would be, but it was robust and creamy. It was surprisingly nutty - like a burnt marshmallow or pistachio and reminded me of something familiar, grounded, and earthy. I probably won’t buy a larger bottle, but instead will stick with Le Labo’s Matcha 26 (much brighter, lighter, and springier in comparison) but I love anything matcha related so I thought I’d give it a try.
