Montale Blue Matcha is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Pierre Montale. Blue Matcha opens with Matcha, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Leather, Cedar, Patchouli, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Mate, Musk, Powdery, and Ambergris. Montale's Blue Matcha carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

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.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of citrus and tart blackcurrant, lifted by a green, slightly bitter matcha note. As it settles, a sophisticated heart of soft leather and earthy patchouli emerges, grounded by woody cedar and a hint of smoky tobacco. The dry down is a comforting, clean musk, softened by powdery notes and a touch of salty ambergris, leaving a smooth, fresh, and slightly herbal trail.
