Tea Escape

Tea Escape by Maison Martin Margiela is a distinctive, evocative green tea fragrance that unfolds like a serene tea ritual. It opens with a crisp, slightly sharp burst of mint and bergamot, followed by a refreshing, slightly bitter matcha core underscored by earthy mate and rice. Over time, the scent mellows into a soft, creamy texture reminiscent of milky matcha tea with subtle jasmine and osmanthus notes emerging in the drydown. The fragrance is best experienced as a day-wear scent, harmonizing beautifully with warm spring and summer weather. Its smooth, balanced development appeals strongly to those who appreciate gourmand-tinged teas, and it performs reliably on skin with a moderate longevity and intimate to moderate sillage. Though some find its opening notes too minty or its drydown overly creamy, most agree it is uniquely wearable, offering a calm, comforting, and artfully crafted sensory journey rooted in authenticity—true to its name, it isn’t just a green tea scent, but an escape from the ordinary.
