EVENING OUTFig's brightness lifts into cedarwood's warmth as the night deepens. The magnetic dry-down makes this ideal for dinners, gallery openings, or intimate gatherings where scent should draw people closer.

LAYERING MOMENTThis scent thrives with the Duo Layering Set. Oil + spray create a multi-dimensional experience, building magnetism that evolves from skin to air throughout the day.
Layering guide: Start with The Matcha 26 Body Oil on clean skin—apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, décolletage) and wait 2–3 minutes for the oil to settle. Follow with The Matcha 26 EDP Spray, layering it over the same zones for amplified longevity and depth. This ritual transforms the scent into a personal signature.
HumanSafe™ Verification — What It Means

-
No phthalates — synthetic fixatives linked to endocrine disruption concerns
-
No parabens — preservatives many skin-sensitive wearers react to
-
Full IFRA compliance — every ingredient meets international fragrance safety standards
-
Transparent sourcing — independently verified ingredient origin
