  I spent the week testing these new Kenzo releases and they’re certainly pulling their weight, though I still have much to learn about them. Here, there are no bomb-shells; they are open scents with good tenacity but close projection, very much a ‘bubble’ style Kenzo signature. Starting with Matcha: it combines the punch of green tea with a rounded base of musk and vanilla. The Fragrantica notes are wrong: they say ‘yerba mate’ when it’s green tea, who understands? Once it settles, it smells of musk, soft vanilla, a hint of fruity and floral notes similar to the Flower EDT 2020. That amount of musk gives it tremendous longevity, somewhat redundant, but the matcha never disappears, merely fades, making it unique. Here in Argentina green tea is rare; I only know Elizabeth Arden’s, so this comes across as very original. I love the contrast between the fresh, powdery, and energetic matcha with the warm and sweet musk. Both accords intertwine, sometimes one wins, sometimes the other, creating something unpredictable and playful. Perfectly unisex. It’s not my favourite for green scents, but I wouldn’t mind owning it for days when it’s called for.

  As CarCar says, green tea is something of a mystery here in Argentina, so when I heard Kenzo had touched on it, I didn’t hesitate and barely even tested it before grabbing Poudre Matcha. It was a mistake not to sample it first; we didn’t get along chemically. I adore the opening, but it instantly turns into a vanilla-musk blend (and I hate when vanilla completely overpowers a fragrance). Plus, its longevity is infernal. I wish I’d tested before buying.
