The Matcha
Le Labo's The Matcha is an eau de parfum built around the green, faintly grassy character of matcha tea, a fragrance that feels calm and considered. Its overall character is woody and aromatic, with fruity and citrus facets that keep it from feeling heavy.
The opening leans on bitter orange, whose sharp brightness gives the first impression a clean, refreshing edge. Fig arrives at the heart with a lush, slightly sweet depth that rounds the green notes and softens the citrus. As it settles, the drydown turns earthy and woody, with a warm, grounding base that lingers quietly on the skin. Powdery and sweet undertones sit in the background, adding softness without making the scent sugary.
Sillage is moderate, so it tends to stay close to the wearer rather than filling a room, and longevity is also moderate, generally lasting through a working day. Its balance of brightness and warmth makes it easy to wear across the year, from the lighter air of spring and summer to the cooler months of fall and winter. It suits professional settings and casual days alike, and it carries enough depth for a night out.
The mood it aims for is one of quiet calm and natural sophistication, suited to people who enjoy small, close moments in daily life. It is unisex in character and suits anyone looking for something serene and versatile rather than loud.
