FREEDOM MUSK MATCHA

Matcha tea hits first, bitter-green and bright, before mate and a crush of green apple cut through the bergamot, setting the whole thing in motion.

The opening is a jolt: matcha tea, mate, and green apple sharpened by bergamot, like a cafe on a cold morning. As it warms, oat and milk soften the edges, joined by vanilla, praline, and a low hum of coffee that reads more dessert than drink. The base settles into musk, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and vetiver,woody, skin-warm, and lingering long after the tea has gone cold.

For the ones who take their comfort with an edge, matcha lattes, oversized sweaters, late fall walks that turn into long nights. Wears equally well on skin at a Sunday brunch or layered under a coat after dark. An 8-10 hour trail that reads gourmand up close, woody from a distance.

Starts warm and near, easing into a comfortable 6-8 hour wear. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on market strolls, bookshop hours, and the easy rhythm of a day off. Made for our Fall selection.
