Citrus Matcha

“I personally really like this one. I got it because I liked the sound of Thé Matcha 26, but didn’t want to pay the price point. For me, I mostly smell fig and citrus, with a slight earthiness from the matcha and woodiness from the cedar. The matcha doesn’t smell like matcha, but instead just adds a little depth. I got a chance to smell Thé Matcha 26 recently to compare them, and I didn’t think they smelled exactly similar, although I could see how this was duping that. I think I actually prefer this one since it was a bit fruitier, compared to Le Labo being more like… Sophisticated?”

“I recently got my nose on this and another couple from this brand. Don’t do it. I have yet to find a dupe company that can really make a dupe that performs?! I find dossier can nail down the initial spray yes, but the dry down isn’t ever the same and they ALL have this certain basic dossier smell?? It’s odd. Don’t do it it.”

“Did a side-by-side with The Matcha, and can say this is closely identical (although a coworker mistook this for Santal 33 on me :)). Loved the creamy drydown, but unfortunately got old pretty quick as a daily scent on me. This was heavier on the nose for me (less tea, more musk) vs Santal 33.On packaging: it's a pretty quality bottle and atomizer with a magnetic lid.”
