Description:
Matsukita opens as an elegant, smoky tea accord: a citrusy start with bergamot, pink pepper and nutmeg paves the way for a rich mate tea and jasmine at the heart. Benzoic smoke and subtle woody nuances create a balsamic, slightly bitter trail — this is tea smoke mixed with floral freshness and measured dryness. Hints of slightly "cigar" and wooden notes linger until the very end, creating a sense of thoughtful mystique and deep sophistication.

"This is a bitter composition of magazine scent with ground green tea and matcha — a lasting, expressive and complimentary fragrance."
