Matcha Meditation

I made an account just to rave about this one. As a teen I only wore celebrity scents, but recently I decided I wanted to find my adult signature scent. I'm pretty obsessed with matcha so all the reviews and notes sounded perfect for me. I very luckily found a full unused bottle of this locally on FB marketplace the other day and wow I got compliments on my first wear out. At first the powdery floral scent is a bit overbearing, but within a couple seconds I catch the green tea. Then the dry down is just a delicious sweet white chocolate matcha on me.... If this wasn't discontinued I would be wearing this on the daily all year round, but instead I will have to savour it a bit. I'm begging them to bring this back so I don't have to be so sparing!

This is a scent for slow mornings in summer or early autumn (I live in Sweden), when the weather is a bit cold and you need a knitted sweater to stay warm. It’s a very comforting and calming scent. Uplifting green tea, white flowers and something sweet that gives a sense of warmth. I really, really, really enjoy this one when the temperature is perfect and I’m in the right mood. Other days it can be overwhelming and almost make me nauseous. But I like the fact that this isn’t a easy to wear everyday scent. It makes it more special to me and the days I wear it.

What a beautiful, beautiful scent. It begins as a strong burst of jasmine tea leaves, before settling down into matcha ‘white chocolate’ as everyone says, which for me does come across as slightly sweetened matcha. It is so photorealistic. When I was unwrapping my box, the scent of the jasmine was strong. I’ve been a fan of jasmine scents since my youth due to my mother, and matcha and tea in general are my drinks of choice. This scent evokes a lot in me. Cons are that it’s discontinued, and that the lasting power is maybe 2-3 hours top.

This is so gorgeous, and I’m upset that it’s been recently discontinued after I started loving it! Matcha meditation was made to replace Tea escape which they discontinued first and I never got to try, but now they’ve discontinued both. I remember trying this at a department store long time ago and liked it, back then I had never tried tea scents so it was something new to me, and I couldn’t stop thinking about this perfume ever since. Wanting to give it a proper try, I got a decant of this.

A quick spritz in the store will just be powdery. If you spray a LOT on then the matcha scent is photorealistic and exactly what you want it to be. But this fades soooo quickly. At first I thought it was a dud, but I kept getting little wafts of this throughout the day, many many hours later. Super low sillage, super good longevity. Not sure on the availability, but would definitely consider the full bottle. A unique gourmand.
