Blue Matcha isn't the matcha-bomb you might expect - plenty are disappointed by the tea's subtlety. But if you can get past the misleading name, you'll find a surprisingly fresh, clean, and unique scent, beloved by those who embrace its powdery, leathery charm. Highly divisive, so definitely don't blind buy.

Perfume Parlour's budget version of Montale Blue Matcha, the cool green tea-and-leather unisex. It captures the crisp matcha-citrus opening and the earthy leather-tobacco-cedar heart well, though the smooth suede drydown reads a touch flatter and it doesn't hold quite as long as the niche original.
