Metanoia
Fragrance notes
Character
Metanoia by MATCA is not an easy wear. The opening hits with a sharp, medicinal edge that can feel abrasive against the skin. Davana brings a fruity, slightly boozy sweetness that clashes with the bitter bergamot at first, creating a rough transition that some will find off-putting. It demands patience from the person wearing it.
Hinoki and cypress provide a dry, forest floor atmosphere that feels grounded. The heart is dense with patchouli and cedar, pushing the scent toward a dark, resinous profile. Osmanthus adds a soft apricot touch to the heavy woods, while the leather and oud in the base feel raw and untreated. It is a composition that smells of damp earth and ancient trees.
The mood suits a walk through a dense pine forest while the sky is still bright and the air carries a chill. You are surrounded by towering trunks and the scent of crushed leaves underfoot, with a cold wind cutting through the branches above.
