mat; Masaki Matsushima for women

it was love from the first smell. Unique and special for me

A young, fun, light-hearted fragrance. The staying power isn't too good, but this should be worn more for yourself. It will make you feel crisp with the green bamboo, uplifted with the fruitiness, and in a good mood after you spray. Perfect size to throw in your purse, as well.

A light and fresh everyday scent - if u like l'eau par Kenzo u should try this one. Fresh clean and crisp. Very nice.

This mat; smells a little similar to mat; Le Vert. To me, the notes are all over the place. I smell white lotus and aquatic accord first, then fellowed by some plastic melon (or mango?) and some green bamboo (substituted by cucumber in Le Vert). It's white floral watery aquatic and a bit shimmering metallic/plastic feel. Somehow it reminds me of Avon Spotlight. In addition, it is quite light and not as sweet as many fruity floral fragrances in the market nowadays.

I have tried 5 fragrances from Masaki Matsushima, and I find all of them to have something quirky; making the fragrances special & strange in a good way, and I love the bottles. In my opinion, I don't think any of MM frags would appeal to a mass market at all, but it's still fun to try something not so common.

(I am actually wearing Mat vert, but it's not in the database, so I'm stowing my review here...)

Masaki Matsushima MAT LE VERT was apparently launched in 2003 and includes these notes:

"fresh, watery florals, with sweet fruits, cucumber and musk"

For some reason, I've never been all that compatible with green fragrances, and this one, while not a scrubber, is not very appealing to me. I do smell cucumber and aquatic notes, but the composition has an obviously synthetic edge which puts me off a bit, so I won't be adding MAT VERT to my collection. I think that BBW FRESHWATER CUCUMBER is better than this. Désolée.

Hi,

I am in agreement with Kastehelmi!. Great fragance.

Tropical enough, not too much in each notes..

Is long lasting, it fits very comfortable and joyful!!. This fragance take me to a paradise, like Brazil, for example.

Cheers!!!

wow! this a perfect summer fragrance
normally, i'm not a fan of fruity florals, but this one is very nice: the top fruit notes are very juicy indeed, good mango and melon combination. But i especially adore tea and lotus at the base. very uplifting and youthful scent!

Thanks for adding Masaki's fragrances!

I think they are really special.
Modern and urban, but not aggresive.
Rather delicate and somehow ... warmhearted.

I suppose they suit women living in a city, who are feminine and natural. Urban women for whom their fragrance is their connection to nature.

MAT is very like Matsushima's fragrances.
Simple and pleasant. I haven't smelled it for some time, but I remember the juicy fruits on a green-aquatic base. The fragrance didn't change in time on my skin. I thought I've already smelled something very similar to this on a person. Or maybe it was MAT? Very characteristic. I guess it's mango + melon.

More grown-up version of a floral fruity fragrance.

I'm just afraid it didn't last long.
