Jubilee Scents LL179 The Matcha 26 is an Eau de Parfum. LL179 The Matcha 26 opens with Bitter Orange and Fig, settles into a heart of Matcha and Green Tea, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Jubilee Scents's LL179 The Matcha 26 carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

About

The Matcha 26 is one of Le Labo's most introverted releases, a skin-scent built around a creamy matcha tea accord rather than anything loud or citrusy. Jubilee's LL179 reproduces that core well: a soft, slightly creamy green opening with fig sweetness, settling into a matcha-forward heart over a woody vetiver-cedar base. Customer feedback on the dupe consistently calls it very close to the original, with one reviewer noting it's 'maybe a little sweeter' but a great match overall. That extra sweetness is the main divergence: the original's matcha is drier and more contemplative, evoking the ritual of drinking the tea itself, while LL179 leans slightly more toward fig and green sweetness. It's still a calm, sophisticated unisex wear that rewards close attention rather than demanding it.
