LL179 The Matcha 26 EDP
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. You'll either get juicy Mediterranean fig and summer vibes, or you'll be smelling actual pickles, public bathrooms, and even... well, let's just say it gets challenging for some. Definitely one to try before you buy.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile enough for day-to-day wear, though some find it too potent for enclosed office spaces. The green and fresh aspects lend themselves well to casual and even some sporty settings, but it's probably too unconventional for formal events.
Seasons
A green, creamy tea accord that reads fresh and light, best suited to spring and summer wear.
Occasions
Quiet and skin-close enough for the office and everyday casual wear; too understated to register as a formal statement.
