Matcha Soft Serve

This is unexpected and insanely good. I get the matcha right off the bat, not a bright green or astringent matcha but the smell of a really good matcha powder before you whisk it in, that rich almost earthy smell. That quickly mellows to the vanilla, but I also feel like I got a jasmine note on my skin. I'm not usually a floral gal but I really adored that combination. The vanilla lasted longest. I plan to buy this as a full bottle. Simply divine.

Got a sample and I really like it. It’s a little “seaweed” like but not in a bad way. Kinda like warm matcha, then the milky vanilla comes in. This is very unisex. Soft to moderate projection, last 4-6 hrs. I have a good assortment of perfumes, but this is different from anything I have.

I absolutely LOVE this. I get the earthy matcha at first then it turns into this creamy delicious latte like scent.

Let's get one thing straight: there's no matcha in this. At all. So either our good friends put the wrong juice in my sample vial or people are kidding themselves about this fragrance. It's very sweet. Cloying, in fact. But its primary scent is powder. It's positively elderly. I miss my nana terribly but I do not want to smell like her closet. Scrubber.

I’ve been looking for another gourmand matcha scent so I don’t use all of my discontinued Matcha Meditation. The opening of d’Annam's is much greener, brighter, with an earthy astringency, but the dry down is similar to Maison Margiela's.

This is the perfect, powdery matcha scent. A bit green, a bit nutty, with a drop of vanilla. One of the most accurately described gourmands I've ever tried. The drydown later evolves into something more floral, but still very matcha forward, and I do get a hint of salt? I will disclose that this is NOT a sweet gourmand. I think people may read waffle cone and vanilla and expect sugar somewhere and there is none of that. Lovely for beginners in fragrance just because it's relatively uncomplicated. A safe blind buy for matcha fans!
