Blue Matcha

Blue Matcha by Montale is a distinctive, unisex fragrance that diverges from the brand's typically bold and opulent profiles. It opens with a crisp, citric burst reminiscent of neroli and lemon, with subtle hints of black currant and green herbal notes—though the citrus fades quickly. The core identity emerges in the drydown: a grounding blend of powdery leather, bitter mate tea, earthy cedar, and smoky tobacco, creating a sophisticated, understated depth. The scent leans more earthy and woody than green, with a discreet herbal complexity that evokes a leather pouch filled with crushed matcha powder, rather than a true tea experience. Its performance is moderate to long, with moderate sillage and a fresh, clean character that renders it ideal for spring and summer wear. Despite its departures from conventional tea-themed perfumes, it is noted for its unique, character-driven balance—being wearable and intriguing across genders but particularly favored in mild temperatures.
