Matcha Latte

About Matcha Latte

Matcha latte is a constructed gourmand accord inspired by the café drink of powdered green tea mixed with milk. It is usually assembled from several materials rather than taken from a single extract, so a matcha latte note does not necessarily contain real tea or milk derivatives.

Scent Profile

Expect a green, slightly bitter and earthy tea impression softened by a **creamy**, milky sweetness. The tea side can lean leafy, powdery or dry, while the creamy side softens those edges. Compared with a classic green tea note, it tends to feel denser, rounder and more comforting.

Use in Perfumery

The accord appears mostly in gourmand and soft green compositions, where it brings together the impression of green tea and cream. Bergamot or another citrus, or a touch of mint, keeps it bright and airy, while vanilla, tonka, musk and pale woods such as sandalwood push it toward a sweeter, skin-close finish. Interpretations vary widely: one version may smell like freshly steamed leaves, another like a sweetened café drink.

Did You Know?

Matcha is made from tea leaves that are shaded before harvest, then steamed, dried and ground into a fine powder. In a fragrance, the balance between that bitter powdered-tea impression and a milky sweetness shapes how the accord reads.
