The Matcha 26

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Le Labo The Matcha 26

The Matcha 26 is Le Labo’s serene, contemplative green tea scent, and our version keeps that character, built around the same notes with real depth.

The Story Behind the Scent

Le Labo built The Matcha 26 as a fresh green tea scent, pairing a matcha tea and fig opening with a vetiver and cedarwood heart over a soft musk and bitter almond base for a serene, contemplative character.

Our interpretation follows that character, keeping the balance of the original and building it at a high perfume oil concentration so it lasts on skin.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a luxury eau de parfum sold at high pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a green tea and fig scent and wants a luxury style fragrance without the high price.
