Which Should You Buy?
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.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and unique profile makes it a good fit for casual and office wear, though some find it a bit too strong for formal intimate settings. The good longevity and projection from Montales means it wouldn't be ideal for a formal event or gym, but fine for everyday use.
Seasons
The cool green tea and citrus feel refreshing in spring and summer while the leather warmth carries into autumn.
Occasions
Crisp yet earthy and easy to wear, it suits the office, daytime and casual outings.
