Our take

A bright citrus opening hits first, with orange and lemon providing a tart, zesty lift that feels immediately refreshing. This initial burst is softened by a creamy fig note, which adds a milky, green depth before the fragrance settles into its core. The transition moves smoothly into a heart dominated by matcha tea, delivering a distinct vegetal quality that pairs with the soft stone fruit sweetness of apricot and the delicate floral touch of osmanthus.

The character here is powdery and woody, moving away from a sharp bite into something smoother and more rounded. Sandalwood and Atlas cedar form a dry foundation that supports the green tea theme without becoming heavy or resinous. It carries a lactonic softness that makes the composition feel modern and approachable, sitting comfortably between a fresh daytime scent and a more textured, nature-inspired aroma that appeals to those who enjoy their citrus with a side of earth.

It suits someone who wants a green fragrance that does not lean too sharp or medicinal, offering instead a fruity and floral interpretation of tea. Wear it during spring mornings or on mild afternoons when you want something clean that still has a distinct personality. The blend feels natural enough for casual outings but possesses a refined edge that works in professional settings, leaving a trail of woody
