Quiet and green, The Matcha 26 from Le Labo has a faintly bitter edge and feels more like a calm ceremony than a scent built to announce itself. Perfumer Frank Voelkl composed it, and it launched in 2021. Fig, bergamot and orange form the top notes, fresh and slightly sharp. At the centre, matcha and white tea turn earthy and a little vegetal, while jasmine stops them drifting into austerity. Vetiver, musk and cedar hold the base notes, dry and woody instead of sweet. Unisex in spirit, it suits men and women who prefer calm to loud. Voters wear it in spring, summer and autumn, by day, at the office and into the evening. Voters are divided on how long it stays, between moderate and long lasting, and its sillage vote leans moderate. A 3ml decant is a gentle way to spend time with it.
