Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Thé Matcha 26 is a serene, meditative fragrance, opening with a luminous burst of bitter orange and creamy fig over a heart of matcha and green tea. The subtle woodiness of vetiver and cedar anchors the scent, while gentle musks and a touch of vanilla lend a soft, skin-like warmth. Airy, clean, and quietly uplifting, this is a fragrance that feels like a deep breath in a sunlit garden-peaceful, modern, and profoundly calming.
