The matcha accord in this is beautiful in my opinion. I think most people are familiar with matcha being green, bitter, earthy, etc. but good matcha such as Uji Hikari Cultivar matcha can smell of Unami, floral, citrusy, smooth, and sweet. I personally believe Le Labo did an amazing job capturing a good ceremonial grade matcha scent. The first 10-20min you get a good burst of citrus. The fig ads a smooth floral and green, but light sweetness. The backbone is woody but not over powering! Overall Matcha 26 is a light and comfy scent that embodies the spirit of a good Uji matcha that makes me feel calm and grounded. Although it is a lighter scent, it last about 6-7 hours on me. May your cup always be full Leo 😊
Tried both and prefer the matcha 26 because matcha meditation has way too much white chocolate+jasmine for me...Probably better for someone who does not live in a tropical country...The Matcha 26 is more citrus and figs to me than matcha smell though.
Typically LeLabo, isn’t it. You can never tell by the name what you'll get 😉. However, I read that it is a lovely skin scent which is something that I like. But please, give me more tea.
This is exactly the review I needed. Glad you had Matcha Meditation to recommend as a true alternative :) Even considered blind buying Matcha 26. Thanks so much!
You ve been into tea perfumes recently...at this moment I m into rose perfumes and I kinda sick of sweet perfumes or earthy perfumes I m shocked as patchouli was one of my fav notes now I just can't
I love that you love tea scents in a world where everyone raves about gourmands, ouds and tobacco. Refreshing.

Love Matcha and Jasmine rice smelling perfumes❤️ Thanks for the review. I think I’ll stick with Matcha Meditation for now.😊
I bought a full bottle of this and I just love it. I agree it is unique but not so matcha
Your hair looks nice today. I’m wearing Matcha right now and decided to look up a RUclips review. Always enjoy watching your videos

I wish there was more tea in this ine too 😕
This sounds so interesting. I want to go to a Le Labo counter and try all their scents, lol.

Do you think men can wear this? I tried it in New York and loved it!!
Of course yes 😊
matcha 26 gets better a few minutes after you spray it.
Love your hair style.
Aww thanks! 😊
That’s interesting. I don’t smell anything you mentioned. I only smell the matcha
Have you had a chance to try the Skylar Matcha scent?
No I haven't, I don't think that brand is available in the Netherlands :(
