Milk & Matcha by Obvious Parfums shares a scent inspired by soft, creamy matcha lattes and is crafted around the matcha accord.
On its own, matcha delivers a distinctive profile that can veer earthy, rich and grassy with savory umami notes, but this eau de parfum is devoted to telling the story of matcha tea savored with milk. Before encountering heart notes of matcha, orange flower absolute and mate oil, this fragrance introduces itself with ginger and mandarin oil, and tangerine. Finally, this captivating scent—described as "a creamy nectar for everyday optimists"—settles into a creamy, comforting base of vanilla bean, tonka bean and Peru balsam.
Obvious Parfums recently unveiled a new collection, Karigori, which explores Japanese culture.
