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.
