Matcha is a strong slightly bitter green tea, slightly similar to cocoa powder. The white chocolate probably balances it and makes it "rounder" and creamy. I didn't try it, but it kind of makes sense.
The matcha and white chocolate makes me think of matcha KitKats. There was even a special Mikan orange matcha KitKat last spring. I wonder if that was part of the inspiration!
Matcha and white chocolate are a standard duo in dessert. White chocolate is add in to make it less bitter and more creamy indeed. I've been eyeing this since it came out but can't find it in Europe... so strange
Sebastien, they are trying to make a Matcha Latte, which obviously has milk, hence the sweet white chocolate accord. And yes, back in the day, L'Occitane had the best green tea extrait de parfum and green tea collection, agreed!!
Tea Escape & Soul of the Forest are two that I have from this house. Thanks for this comparison review, Sebastian; now I'm intrigued by that white chocolate note!
I'm interested in trying both of them, thank you! I enjoy Springtime In A Park, Coffee Break, Beach Walk, Lipstick On, and my favorite is Jazz Club. I appreciate this review and comparison. I didn't know that Maurice Roucel did Macha Meditation, that makes it even more appealing. I'm definitely going to have to get my hands on a sample. I prefer soymilk in my matcha tea, whether I'm taking it cold or hot.
Have yet to find a favorite tea fragrance. I bought Winter Palace and was kinda disappointed as it is similar to Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, though much higher quality. I heard Jovoy Remember Me smells like chai tea so will definitely get it. I missed on Tea Escape when they were being sold sadly. I wonder if there’s any fragrance that smell like Milk Tea or Boba 😆
my absolute favorite from them is still coffee break. i'm looking for a summer fragrance so i might try this out, because i'm just a sucker for gourmands. on me, coffee break wears just soooooo creamy. it's like getting a caramel latte in a cafe with bundles of lavender on the tables, and all the furniture is made of wood. lol and i get compliments whenever i wear it. it might not be the most unique fragrance they make, but i enjoy it
The L’Occitane green tea with jasmine was beautiful. Shame it was discontinued. This new Margiela fragrance sounds nice but I’m a bit unsure about the tea and gourmand combination.
Thank you for the review/comparison! I really appreciate the concept of the Replica line! I love drinking tea, but I’m not sure how I feel about smelling like it so Matcha Meditation will definitely need to be one I try on my skin first.
Thank you so much for the new video. To my nose, Tea for Two shares similarities to Winter Palace a lot. I don't know how this one will perform but I think Je Ne Sais Quoi by Teo Cabanel might be closer to Tea Escape than this.
I was so excited when your review on this new fragrance release came out. I was bummed that MM discontinued Tea Escape before owning a bottle of it. I would like to blind buy Matcha Mediation based on your review (and since I’m a sucker for sweet tea scent like Guerlain Teazzura). It seems not available to buy online though. May I ask where I can purchase a bottle? Thanks!
oooh thanks for this video! i wanted to love tea escape so badly (on my skin chemistry), but it didn't work :( unfortunately, it smelled like a super potent floral dryer sheet on me. i may need to try matcha meditation though, it sounds lovely! :)
Hi, have you tried matcha meditation? I hope you can guve further reviews. I'm really considering buying matcha meditation because I'm afraid it would be smell too milky or white chocolate scent
Yay I am so glad you posted a comparison video! I love Tea Escape so much (I miraculously found a backup bottle!!) and am definitely a tea scent lover, and was also very disappointed when they discontinued this one! I think this is one that I will really like too. If you have a recommendation of an Oolong or Pu'er tea scent (that does not overly rely on citrus accords) please let me know! I have been searching for one. :)
Interested in trying this as the creamy notes with the tea sounds great. My favorite MMM is definitely Lipstick On, which I believe is discontinued. I haven’t found a lipstick fragrance I like as much.
I just have Beach Walk and I love it, I just bought my bottle of Musk Ravageur, so same perfumer I need to try this, the only Tea fragrance that I have is BVLGARI Pour Homme I really enjoy that one. Thank you Sebastian!
This fragrance has been good to me the past couple of months. I wish I had ordered the larger bottle, but shipping from the UK ate some of my budget :-(
Great review Sebastian. I absolutely love my Gucci pour homme 2. Tried the Yulong from Armani Prive and did not impressed me. Would you recommend Matcha Meditation instead of Wulong Cha from Nishane (I have head great things if it). Appreciate it!!
Yeah you’re impressed lol. I’ve got the whole line up of these. At least 90% of em. Haven’t seen any more of the EDP releases other then the 5 out there already. Maybe they stopped doing them
I wonder if I can still continue using this bottle is it was opened for more than 24 months. I really like the Tea Escape but 100ml, it's a lot and I think I can't use all of it within 24 months
I really, really hope the Jasmine is not heavy handed. Too much literally smells like shit and it gives me nausea. I'm not sure how people can tolerate white florals. Everything else sounds amazing

Matcha is often paired with white chocolate in candy, so perhaps that's part of it!

I got my bottle of Matcha Meditation last week and I looove it! "Super-nöjd" as we say in Sweden👏
It's so good!
Man theirs a place in my town that makes a matcha latte.... it’s so good. Totally want to smell this scent!

Soul of the forest? Gotta get me a sample

Matcha meditation smells more like Taro Milk bubble tea. Amazing!

Sadly to me tea escape smells a lot like boba milk tea. Don’t like boba so i let it go 🤣
Dusita Erawan!
Been waiting on your review. I love Tea Escape.
Hope you enjoy it!
I’ve never smelled these two but I love the replica line
sounds like the perfect spring scent i’m sold 🥰
I just saw this and HAD to watch it. So sad I was unable to pick up Tea Escape. TY for this review!! Got to pick one up when I get paid!
my absolute favorite from them is still coffee break. i'm looking for a summer fragrance so i might try this out, because i'm just a sucker for gourmands.

Coffee Break is my favorite and I’m waiting on my package from London with the Matcha meditation fragrance 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 excited.
The L’Occitane green tea with jasmine was beautiful. Shame it was discontinued. This new Margiela fragrance sounds nice but I’m a bit unsure about the tea and gourmand combination.
Thank you so much for this review, I'm blind buying it. I've not been let down by the the replica line so far and can't wait to get my hands on it.
Always test before you buy but seems like you know the brand! :)
How are you liking the fragrance?
Ooh, white chocolate! Sounds divine!
Tea and Coffee two faves notes, and this is created by Roucel, big name in perfumes. Will check soon.
Thank you for the review/comparison! I really appreciate the concept of the Replica line! I love drinking tea, but I’m not sure how I feel about smelling like it so Matcha Meditation will definitely need to be one I try on my skin first.
Wow i didn’t know they launched this. Have been wanting a matcha frangrance forever！
Tea is my favorite note in perfume. I enjoy Bvlgari tea fragrances. I have to check this out, i never smelled anything with white chocolate.

I was just getting interested in this fragrance so the timing couldn’t be better. I was hesitant but now I will add to my sample cart. Thank you.

@@celline.t been wanting to try as well but im afraid of the jasmine smell
I would say the white chocolate is used cause they very often make matcha flavoured white chocolate, or at least where I am it is quite often done.
Can you use matcha meditation in the fall and winter?
This one with the white chocolate sounds fabulous Sebastian. Must check.
Keep me posted.
I'm very interested in this fragrance. Wish I could smell it right now.

Oolong Tea from One Day or Tea Service from Chasing Scents

Sounds like a lovely scent, definitely purchasing.

Usually cream dont go with matcha tea, but cream do combine very well with matcha in desserts. Most matcha dessert has a creamy and milky flavor
Silver mountain. Water creed
Asian Green tea creed
10/10
I love Lipstick on by Maison Margiela, and Under the lemon trees too, and By the fireplace of course))) thanks for review👍
This fragrance has been good to me the past couple of months. I wish I had ordered the larger bottle, but shipping from the UK ate some of my budget :-(
Never wore a tea fragrance but this sounds right up my profile of scents. Must check.
Great review Sebastian. I absolutely love my Gucci pour homme 2. Tried the Yulong from Armani Prive and did not impressed me. Would you recommend Matcha Meditation instead of Wulong Cha from Nishane (I have head great things if it). Appreciate it!!
Appreciate the comparison! 🍵
🍵🍵🍵 Time! ;)
Which one do you prefer: Roasted green tea from J-scent or this new one from Margiela?
I think I got sold the moment you said that Maurice Roucel is the nose behind it 😻
Going to check it out. Sadly don't have a backup bottle of Tea Escape
This sounds very delicious. I will look for it next time I go to Sephora.
And now matcha meditation is discontinued!! I’m so sad it’s a beautiful delicious fragrance. Bought 2 100 ml bottles at 140 cad after finding out
Adding milk to matcha is done quite a bit in Asia. It’s how I prefer it.
That's cool to know! ;)
Lovely scent. I cannot smell the white chocolate. I had a box of Matcha tea which I threw out. I coudn't stand the taste.
Great review. This is my favorite house so always look for their next release.
I really really wanna try the first perfume, but still wonder whether it truly smells as we japanese are always familiar to.
Tbh not really, the earthy matcha scent disappears on the dry down and the jasmine floral becomes stronger
Yeah you’re impressed lol. I’ve got the whole line up of these. At least 90% of em. Haven’t seen any more of the EDP releases other then the 5 out there already. Maybe they stopped doing them
I do enjoy tea scents. Will have to give this a try...
Thoughts on Matcha Meditation + Under The Lemon Trees?
I have by the fireplace, coffee break and sailing day.
OMG! I gotta try Matcha meditation 😊🍵 !!!
Sebastian, which is your favorite one from replica? Never tried it before but I really want to try it. Thank you and have a great day!!
I think Sebastian did a review of the line and at the top was By the Fireplace.
@@lizbits9339 thank you Liz! I was looking for it but didn’t find it.
How do you compare this to Killian princess and Nishane Wulong cha?
Now price went up again by $9 more😔. It used to be $135 and it now $144!
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
I wonder if I can still continue using this bottle is it was opened for more than 24 months. I really like the Tea Escape but 100ml, it's a lot and I think I can't use all of it within 24 months
We need your updated rank of Maison Margiela perfumes!
Please review new Diptyqe "Orpheon". Big hug from Belgrade 🙌
My favourite tea fragrance is Gucci pour homme II but unfortunately it's discontinued . I have a full bottle.
Thanks Maestro
I didn’t know they don’t sell the black bottled ones to the US anymore...
Thanks for the matcha video;)
Sounds great!
I realy realy want to try this now 😍
oK, non of them are on the website... what?
Tea escape sooooo amazing so sad discontinued
I really, really hope the Jasmine is not heavy handed. Too much literally smells like shit and it gives me nausea. I'm not sure how people can tolerate white florals. Everything else sounds amazing
Thank you
Awesome 👍
Thanks 🤗
They do add a creaminess to tea drinks. It’s called boba. And I’m not mad at it
