Awesome Tea Frag
I really like everything about this J-Scent Roasted Green Tea frag from the clean packaging to how it literally smells like a Hojicha Latte. I get whiffs coconut on the opening then you get hit of some unique earthy tea and slightly sweet notes that's very calming.

This makes me want to order a Matcha / Hojicha drink

take reviews with a grain of kelp
as someone who has lived in Japan, the scent of kelp and green tea is nothing new at all. As someone with a nose, however, this is so strong my entire body recoils at it. It feels like someone tried to play a prank on you by spraying you in the face with ocean water. After about 5 minutes it smells amazing and (unsuprisingly) like you're on the beach. If you can get over than initial kelp-flash bang that instantly drags you down to bikini bottom, than you'll be good with this

Lovely matcha latte scent
I was searching for a matcha fragrance that opens like matcha meditation by Maison Martin Margiela but does not turn sickly sweet after a few minutes. I tried un été by Obvious and to me they those smell fairly similar but J scent is half the price. The green tea note in Roasted Green tea is much more long lasting than matcha meditation. It still has a milky/creamy, slightly sweet undertone but definitely not as "dense" as matcha meditation.

Sillage is not strong but it definitely lingers on me, I can almost get a whiff of it every now and then through out the whole day.

It is a great matcha fragrance but if you are looking for something purely with green tea note without any sweetness, unfortunately this may not be for you.

Tea Time and Mochis with Cthulhu
All good things come in threes, so also in this fragrance. Originally I wanted to buy me actually Roasted Green Tea as a blind buy, but am now glad that it has become Ramune...why I tell in the following.

Actually, Roasted Green Tea was supposed to smell like Hoji-Cha, a lower caffeine version of green tea with a roasted umami-like flavor.

Actually... because as soon as you put the scent on, a really disgusting smell wafts towards you, kind of sour, milky, algae-y. Almost like fermented milk, but not quite either. Difficult to describe. But not to compare with other algae scents like "Acqua di Sale" or "Bvlgari Aqva pour Homme". Probably the encounter with Cthulhu or another deep sea monster would smell like this. Fortunately, this impression of the seaweed monster remains only briefly, because quickly the fragrance transforms and becomes more pleasant. One now perceives more unsweet gourmand-like notes, of peanut and tea, peanut mochis and also pastries. To me, this combination smells 1 on 1 like the inside of a bubble tea shop. Warm humid air, the scent of countless teas, pastries and cakes that are displayed in glass cases and can be ordered with the bubble tea.

Still, Roasted Green Tea doesn't smell like Hojicha.

Conclusion: a special fragrance that can compete with "Sécrétions Magnifiques" with its nauseating top note, but reveals beautiful pleasant heart and base notes of tea and peanut mochis, if you give it the time.

A very realistic bitter matcha that unfortunately vanished in minutes.

After an short & odd opening (the peanut?), this settles into a lovely green tea, even though there is no tea note. Great blending!
