You are a dazzler!
Oh, it's really annoying that only the opening notes are praised to the skies here, and the rest is neglected. But well, I'll be brief: this thing is simply a dazzler. The opening with the high-quality matcha is really terrific. It smells exactly like this wonderful green powder - an authentic, powdery tea note. A fantastic opening! But then, as with so many fragrances that I'm currently testing, there's a lull. It becomes a run-of-the-mill fragrance, develops quite fresh and becomes a little sweeter towards the end thanks to the vanilla. Unfortunately, the rose is missing here and instead you have indefinable floral notes thrown together with lemon. My aversion to citrus fragrances becomes clear here. Even I can't help but admit that the combination with lemon or bergamot is quite monotonous here and could have been implemented more elegantly. In Asia, there are numerous green teas that are refined with fresh lemon, but unfortunately this experiment turns out to be a flop. Regrettably, the fragrance merely exudes the scent of an ordinary drugstore colon, without any sophistication or the charm of Japan. A missed opportunity, what a shame.
