I'm not all that impressed with Mat. I liked the way it smelled in the bottle, but it just doesn't
work for me. The smell reminds me of a product that my mom used to use on my hair when I was a kid--
Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizer. It's not an offensive smell, but it's nothing that I want to smell
like all day. The staying power seems to be OK.

The quality of this fragrance is something very rare. Utterly unique, it has a freshness that avoids all the usual "green" clichés. Complex, multi-layered, ever changing, with a feminine style that is difficult to define; it eventually dries down to a delicate, slightly musky rose. I absolutely adore how it never fails to brighten my spirits. The bottle is simplicity itself and feels good in your hand.

Wonderful light green floral. Very clean and fresh. I won't repeat the notes since they are listed in an earlier review. It's a little aquatic, but not much. I can't stand most of the aquatic scents, like Cool Water, so rest assured it's nothing like that those. Reminds me a little of Body by Victoria with added green notes. This one is great for the warm weather. My one quibble is the lack of staying power. I like my scents to hang around and this one had to be re-applied fairly frequently. But I guess in hot weather I'd rather re-apply than be overwhelming people with my scent. This one is moving into my top ten.

Ick. I did not care for this scent at all. It was like Trish #9 on steroids or something. Way too sweet and bubble gum for my taste. In all fairness, I abhor those kind of scents, so if you are partial to scents like Escada Tropical Punch you may like this.

What an intriguing fragrance and what a COOL bottle! : ) This fragrance reminds me a little (JUST A LITTLE) of Calyx, but the fruity and green notes are a lot more subtle in Mat than in Calyx. There's a lot more going on here, too. There's parsley, which is such a unique scent to include, and tea and mint and a hint of musk. This is a MUST-TRY fragrance, if only for the sheer pleasure of smelling something new in a sea of copycat fragrances!

For some reason this reminds me of a scent that wafts through a nightclub. It puts me in a clubbing mood. LOL! This is a refreshingly cool-crisp scent. Perfect for summer. It has sharp floral undertones and is very feminine. I like the contempory/modern design of the bottle. Contrary to what others say about the staying power...it lasts all day on me. It must be the added oils.

I LOVE this perfume! I hinted & hinted for it as a birthday gift after receiving a sample from Nordstrom. Though I'm not good at describing scents and picking up on "notes", I can say that I really love the scent of this fragrance. It's very elegant and sexy to me. It's along the lines of "Oriental scents".

I just love this fragrance. A fresh green but sweet slightly (and i mean slightly) floral fragrance from a Japanese designer. I only own a few fragrances, but i'll list them so you'll know if we have similar tastes - i like Jil, Gucci Rush, Lolita Lempika and Happy. Obviously i like sweeter scents. This one is milder than all of these and can be worn day or night. Beautiful container; Easy dry down. Just wonderful. Worth the price but i got mine on ebay for $15!!! Someone mentioned that it disappears after just a short while, so i took notice, and what do ya know, it truly does. I'd say worth putting some in an atomizer and bringing with.

Sephora says: Blend:Green-Aquatic.

Notes: Bamboo, Mango Pulp, Tea Leaves, Juniper Berry, Parsley Leaves, Blackcurrant, Watermelon, Squeezed Mint, Lotus Flower, White Rose, Water Rose, Water Jasmine, Crystal Musk, Reed Wood.


Style:Free-spirited, feminine, and glamorous.
