The jasmine indoles, even though they aren’t a powerhouse, really do not agree with me in this scent. It’s like a jasmine tea (which I enjoy drinking!) but somehow not in a good way

In a pleasant morning, I went to Satori’s salon. The perfumer showed me Oribe and said it is her favorite work. This perfume expresses the serenity of her morning tea time. Indeed, it is so crisp and fresh like a glimmer of graceful lightin the morning. I fell in love with it when I first smelled it. I have tried some tea fragrances, but they are often too citrusy, or like iced tea. Oribe smells just like Matcha! there are some bitter green and slight sweetness. Its traditional Japanese style is different from Chinese green tea. Really distinctive.

Even I am a Japanese and I live in Japan, Oribe is very Japanese. Makes me feel like relaxing in a quiet Japanese-style room. I think it is more powdery in cold season. Very soft but neat. Very nice.

Got this from a visit to their salon on my last trip.
I can’t believe my nose that i finally find it.. a true green tea scent. Not a kind of green tea fragrance interpreted by other house before.
It’s refreshing in a calming way.. the iris, violet,patchouli, n jasmine are there but not to compete the green tea note. I agree with Calvini that this is the best green tea fragrance ever!!

The super nice Satori agreed to give me sealed “wet strips” to try the fragrance on (since she can’t send samples overseas)! This is a little more tart and powdery on the skin (violet, sage, & jasmine dominant aside from the tea); disappointed to say that it’s not as realistic as it was on paper, but lovely none the less

Oh wow this is amazing! Soft, fresh, and a little bitter; this might just be the best green tea fragrance ever! (I knew a Japanese perfumer would do it justice)
It smells like an actual iced matcha green tea you’d so often get from a ramen shop; it’s similar to Imperial Tea by Kilian but also a touch of Jo Malone’s new Jade Leaf Tea, softened.
