Le Labo Thé Matcha 26
A quiet moment, close to the skin
Le Labo ties this scent to matcha as it is understood in Japanese culture: more than a drink and more than a fragrance, a quiet moment of introspection. A matcha tea accord meets a creamy fig note, soft vetiver and cedar woods, lifted by bitter orange. The Eau de Parfum is presented as a skin scent, here in a 100 ml bottle.

How it unfolds
-
More than a drink
The brand's starting point is the role of matcha in Japanese culture. For Le Labo it is more than a drink and more than a fragrance: a quiet moment of introspection. That sets the tone for the whole scent, which is meant to be calm and inward rather than loud.
-
Matcha, fig and orange
A matcha tea accord leads the list, joined by a creamy fig note. Matcha gives a green, slightly bitter, earthy tea quality, fig a soft, milky sweetness, and bitter orange lifts both with a clean, tart edge. Together they read as green and creamy at once.
-
Vetiver and cedar
Vetiver, which the brand calls soft, and cedar woods give the scent a dry, quiet frame. They fit the idea of a skin scent: something meant for the wearer and the few who stand very close, not for the whole room. That keeps the whole composition restrained.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Close and calm
Because the brand presents it as a skin scent, one or two sprays on the chest or the inner wrists are plenty. It fits quiet mornings, desk work and warm weather, and at the dinner table it keeps its manners.
Who it is for
People who like tea in their perfume and prefer green, creamy and woody to sweet. It suits those who value a scent that does not announce itself, and anyone who works close to others and wants something considerate. Wearers who want a big, sweet trail will find it too quiet.
Why choose Le Labo Thé Matcha 26
One clear idea, a quiet moment, and five named materials that all serve it. The brand calls its matcha a tea accord and its result a skin scent: modest words for a perfume that wants to stay close. The bottle is the 100 ml size of the Eau de Parfum.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
