Miya Shinma Matsuba is a fresh, lightly sweet unisex scent that puts mint and a green heart of rhubarb and davana up front.

What does Matsuba smell like?

It opens with mint and aromatic notes, then moves into green notes, davana and rhubarb, which add a fruity edge. White amber at the base leaves a soft, creamy finish, and the chypre side holds the fresh, green structure together.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Sãlum Lemonade Coast and Xerjoff Accento Overdose have a close profile.
