Sogni lite
I’m hunting for my dream matcha. I thought for years it was Sunday…and the matcha note there is pitch perfect, but the syrupy sweet cardamom-coconut is just too cloying these days and its virtually unwearable. I want something with that matcha umami; but not sweet or buried under ginger etc…
So, this one us virtually impossible to sample but I found a bottle for a reasonable price and blind buy it was. Well, there’s no matcha here on me. Which to be fair it IS called genmaicha—and it does have some genmaicha to it; although I don’t get any of that distinctive popcorn smell at all…it’s more a fresh-leaning nutmeg green tea.
What’s strange is how much it reminds me of Sogni. I really wanted to like Sogni…but there’s something funky in the base notes that although I find interesting I just honestly don’t really like. I can’t quite figure out what it is either, I think it might be whatever is supposed to be the tatami note plus the incense? It has a slightly nutty yet acrid element?
Well, there’s a little of this same acrid-ish base note accord in Genmaicha too, although thankfully not as strong as Sogni. I ultimately sold Sogni before I even opened the FB; although I did recently order another sample to test it side by side with this. I made the right call selling it.
The jury’s still out on this one. I think if I try to pitch it to myself as otaku-tatami-mat accord I might keep it…but it definitely isn’t the matcha I’m looking for.
