Tea Time with Masaki Matsushima

A unique blend of cooling mint and the cleansing powers of tea have inspired the olfactory journey that Japanese fashion and fragrance designer, Masaki Matsushima embarks on with his newest fragrance, Mintea. The perfect remedy for a sizzling summer afternoon, the scent marries warm and cool tones that result in a light, refreshing aroma.

Citing the ancestral elegance of the Japanese tea ceremony, Masaki Matsushima is able to channel this vision with top notes of green tea, lemon and mint tea. A floral heart mingles Lilly of the valley and white rose, while a constant crystal musk and precious wood give the scent a warm, hearty base.

A fashion industry favorite, Matsushima injects his own mélange of striking modern themes coupled with traditional beauty into the design of the M bottle. The glass “doorknob” is a true design innovation as it speaks directly to his creative inspiration. The M bottle will surely glamorize any vanity with its ethereal design and green-blue halo.

Mintea is available exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com.
