Matcha Meditation

$155.00

Matcha Meditation opens with the specific smell of matcha being whisked in a bowl: green, slightly bitter, deeply botanical in a way that distinguishes it immediately from generic green tea fragrances. Bergamot and cardamom give the green opening a warmth that prevents it from becoming medicinal, and cedar and vetiver in the base ground the composition in an earthiness that is appropriate to the ritual the name references. Amber closes with a gentle warmth rather than sweetness. A fragrance that achieves stillness without becoming inert.

Why We Carry This

The matcha note in Matcha Meditation is genuinely rendered rather than approximated: the bitter, vegetal quality of the tea is present and distinguishable. The cardamom-cedar bridge is well-constructed, and the result is one of the Replica line's most compositionally interesting releases.
