Masaki Matsushima has launched two new fragrances, one for men, one for women.
Aqua Mat Homme (shown) is “Freshness, energy and well-being …”:
The head note of “Aqua mat homme” opens with a splash of fresh lime and Boongon (pomelo) mixed with herbal notes from fig leaves and bamboo shoots…
Masaki Matsushima has launched a new fragrance for women, Masaki/Masaki. The scent was developed by perfumer Jean Jacques:
She is an elegant young woman who lives on Park Avenue, shops on Fifth, strolls in Central Park and attends retrospectives at Manhattan’s museums. She is simply chic and light pink is her favorite color…
Masaki Matsushima has launched their latest fragrance in the mat; series, Cherry:
It is quite a challenge to create a feminine fragrance that is based on the cherry without falling into edible scents used in liquors or candies. Jean Jacques, Masaki’s “nose” managed this subtle combination of the mat; base with a cherry top and blossom heart.
The notes include cherry, blackcurrant, bilberry…
Mintea is new from Masaki Matsushima, and was “inspired by the art of refinement practiced in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies”.
The fragrance features notes of green tea, lemon, mint tea, juniper berry, watermelon, cucumber, lotus flower, lily of the valley, bamboo sap, lotus flower, reed wood and crystal musk…
Masaki Matsushima, the Japanese fashion designer, launched the Mat; line of fragrances in 2000. Mat; Very Male, a surprisingly warm and subtle fragrance from a designer known for his fresh citrus and aquatic scents, is his first oriental, and this time the star of the composition is sambuca. The notes include bergamot, aquatic freshness accord, sambuca, lotus flower, bamboo, precious woods, patchouli, liquorice wood and white cedar.
The scent opens with what I would describe as the aroma of a hot cup of coffee, the rich sambuca note (a liquer of elderberry, anise and herbs), and then merges into a light woods fragrance. This scent’s closest cousins are Yohji for Men (the original scent in the tall cylindrical bottle) and Lolita Lempicka for Men, though Mat; Very Male is lighter in all aspects, perhaps because of the inclusion of the middle floral and aquatic notes, or perhaps because the Mat; fragrances are not generally known for their longevity…
