If you’re someone that’s as obsessed with perfume as I am, then you know that a change in season also means a change in the perfume you’re reaching for. While cozy, boozy gourmands and woody scents that feel nostalgic are apt for fall and winter, spring and summer are all about florals and bright, refreshing scents. Think things that’ll uplift your mood, like a warm, sunny day or, say, a mid-afternoon matcha. 

The latter, in the form of Le Monde Gourmand The Matcha Eau de Parfum, is one of my favorite scents to reach for during the spring. Every time I wear it, without fail, someone will compliment me or stop to ask where I got it. (If you’ve ever gotten complimented on your fragrance before, you know it’s one of the best confidence boosters ever.) Right now, you can snag the perfume for just $18 until April 15 thanks to a 30 percent off coupon on Amazon. 

Le Monde Gourmand The Matcha Eau de Parfum

Typically, I’ll reach for sweet, borderline sugary scents, so The Matcha Eau de Perfume falls out of my wheelhouse. The notes include green tea, florals, and amber, with slight citrus undertones that make it light, green, and juicy. It’s not too sweet, nor is it too floral. I get more of a tea scent than I do matcha, but I think that keeps it super clean; it definitely has a fresh-out-of-the-shower quality to it. 

If you like clean-smelling perfumes or often feel disheartened by the intensity of most fragrances, this may be the scent for you. Plus, it’s also great for layering with other floral or sweet scents that you want to tone down. Amazon shoppers have caught on to this too. “It gives off a wonderful smell that will make you want more,” wrote one person, who also commented that they have gotten “many compliments” on it. Someone else noted that it has a “strong and delicious scent that lasts all day,” and that “many people” ask them what they’re wearing. 

You can also snag the scent in a body mist version at Ulta, which is a lighter version of the perfume. It’s perfect for casual occasions or tossing in your bag to spritz on after a workout class. It has the same notes as the perfume—green tea, amber, and freesia—with a slightly more subdued delivery.
