Launched in 2021 by Le Labo and crafted by perfumer Frank Voelkl, The Matcha 26 is a fragrance that transcends its simple notes to evoke a quiet moment of introspection. At its core lies an intricate matcha tea accord, which is complemented by creamy fig and grounded with vetiver and cedar woods. This composition reads as both warm and uplifting, thanks to the enticing bitter orange note. The Matcha 26 is designed to be close to skin, a scent that whispers rather than shouts, offering a moment of grace and soulful beauty.

Application Tips
Apply The Matcha 26 in light, even sprays — it's designed to stay close to your skin rather than project through a room. Let the notes develop for about an hour before reassessing; the vetiver and cedar will deepen over time, offering a richer experience.
