Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Thé Matcha 26 EDP
A quiet, contemplative fragrance that wraps you in a veil of green tea and fig, perfect for those who crave subtlety and serenity. Understated yet distinctive, it is modern minimalism bottled.
Favourite
Our Verdict - LL179 The Matcha 26 EDP
LL179 keeps the creamy matcha-fig accord that makes The Matcha 26 such a quiet, contemplative scent, and customers say it's very close, but the dupe's green tea note comes through a touch sweeter and less earthy than Le Labo's more restrained original.
