🍵 The Inspiration: Tea in the Forest
Drinking ceremonial Matcha in a wooden tea house surrounded by Cypress trees. Matcha Cypress Ceremony introduces a bitter, powdery Green Tea note to the Hwyl profile. It is zen, intellectual, and dry. A meeting of two Japanese icons: Tea and Wood.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Powder and Bark
The scent opens with Matcha Powder and Bergamot. The heart is Cypress and Seaweed Accord (Nori). The base is Vetiver and Sandalwood. It is umami-rich and green.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: Uji and Aomori
-
Matcha Accord: A reconstruction of the grassy, bitter, aquatic scent of powdered tea.
-
Seaweed Absolute: Adds a salty, savory umami depth.
🧠 The Scent Psychology: Focus and Zen
Matcha aids concentration. Matcha Cypress Ceremony is a functional fragrance for work and study. It sharpens the mind and calms the nerves.

💭 From the Perfumer's Diary
"It's savory. It's not sweet at all. It's bitter, green, and woody. Very sophisticated and very Kyoto."
