Who Should Wear This
Designed for anyone who gravitates toward magnetic, woody-green scents.
OFFICE FOCUSThe Matcha 26's woody cedarwood heart and grounding vetiver create quiet confidence without distraction. Perfect for professionals seeking a signature scent that commands presence without volume.
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.
MORNING RITUALApply the Body Oil during your skincare routine, then spray as you're getting dressed. The Matcha 26 wakes up your senses with green-woody clarity—a sensory reset before the day begins.
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
Most luxury fragrances — and many affordable alternatives — don't tell you what's in them. Your skin absorbs what you put on it. Every CA Perfume fragrance is independently HumanSafe™ verified by a third-party platform. That 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
