What Wearers Say
Le Labo Matcha 26
Some wearers enjoy the creamy fig and citrus combination.
One wearer enjoys a clean, skin-like impression with tea in the background.
One sampler finds it too dusty and reminiscent of a pine-scented cleaner.
Another wearer perceives mainly fuzzy musk, with neither fig nor tea apparent.
Montagne Parfums Eau Matcha
One wearer enjoys its uplifting herbaceous tea character; another likes its slightly sweeter, citrusy direction.
One comparison finds it softer and powderier with a less prominent tea note; another wearer dislikes a dill-like impression.
The Verdict
Eau Matcha is our pick. Montagne names Le Labo's Thé Matcha 26 as its inspiration, and the lists are the same five notes: matcha, fig, cedar, bitter orange and vetiver. Green tea and fig make a quiet, slightly milky green scent with a woody base. Buy the Le Labo for the bottle and the label; buy Eau Matcha for the smell, at a fraction of the price.
