A tea fragrance that I’ve worn a couple of times now but for some reason haven’t reviewed? The bright slightly peppery, bergamot opening is soon joined by the tea note. Tea is strange, I love it but it’s a mysterious smell, kinda cerebral and like all the best things, multi-faceted both bad and good. The pendulum seems to swing perpetually between, stale and awkward, to sharp, smokey and sublime. 12 wouldn’t be out of place as a Duchaufour or L’artisan creation. The vetiver and tea works very well together but not exactly bringing anything new, which is fine. Not every fragrance can be a breakthrough and It has undoubted quality but the longevity wasn’t great and I feel this is just one for the tea lovers, because if you don’t like tea this ain’t gonna work for you.

This reminds me of Eau de Cartier a lot. The same mix of sour lemons and spiceness: pepper and cardamom. I can’t say I feel tea here.

Having tried PG06 (L’Eau Rare Matale), I was excited to try this scent in the hopes that it would turn up the dial on the elements that I enjoyed while offering a bit more staying power. My hope were at least partially realized, but Hyperessence Matale is its own scent, and it goes in a quite different direction once you’re wearing it.
The opening is a citrusy wallop, with a bit of a “fresh” element that can come off as soapy at first. Tea and pepper are present, but lingering a bit in the background. As the opening fades, the central structure of the scent emerges, but surprisingly, I find these central notes much more floral than I expected, with less of the dry, smoky black tea note than I found in PG06. The impression this scent leaves with me is a sweet floral with green tea and citrus. It’s pleasant in its own right, but hardly a unique experience.
Performance is modest: about 4 hours of presence wearing close to the skin.

Opens with peppery-citric blast. After that, tea accomplishes pepper; these two notes harmonize amazingly well.
The clear composition is perceived very natural. One can imagine teatime in a summer day under a cooling shadow of a tree.
The scent refreshes and invigorates. Lovers of peppery and (above all) tea perfumes will be pleased by this one.

this and harmatan noir are the first perfumes that made me a fan of the PG house some 6 or 7 years ago.
I was looking for comfort more in an aromatherapeutical sense as opposed to the perfumey stuff I knew…
and still I really like both, this one is special when it settles and the lemon (which I love) fades a bit and gives space for the tea. yes, it’s simple and you have to like to smell your fragrance of tea to like that, I guess. I can’t agree that this scent is unspecial or has been done before many times in similar ways. either they’re colognes and more citric, and oakmoss-centred or they’re more flowery and soft. maybe “thé pour un été” is the older but softer&flowery jasmin-tea-cousin of it, and of course “duel” which smells of maté and not black tea.
recommended for tea-lovers who are looking for a strong lemon ice tea unsweetened with a distinctive peppery drydown.

Looking at the notes I thought this would be something I’d like but it smelled musty and stale right off the bat, and also produced slight nausea like I can sometimes feel if a perfume contains lavender(I love lavender essential oil but it just doesn’t work for me blended in a fragrance).
A scrubber for me.

When it comes to perfume of this sort- quality is no longer enough. I think at the moment in search for perfection, I am not that excited about scents that are beautiful or nice- but extraordinary is always welcome.
Hyperessence Matale is a scent that has been done before a few times- and while it is of excellent quality (and with an amazing longevity- 5 hours and counting!), it never transgressed the border between an ‘all right’ and ‘excellent’ scent. Hyperessenca Matale is a blast of citrus and tea and pepper. Very similar to that from Geisha O-Cha by Aroma M if anyone had a go at it. The lemon tends to be quite overwhelming and the pepper made my nose itchy.
In the category of strong citrus and tea scents, I would say I would still place it on one of the upper shelves, but I don’t think it is something I would like to own.
