What does Matcha Meditation smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and green tea, then moves to orange blossom absolute, matcha and jasmine in the heart. The base holds moss, Siam benzoin absolute and white chocolate, so the green, floral side settles into something powdery, woody and gourmand.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as somewhat feminine, though it is a unisex scent.
