“Le Mat is a thrilling creature, deceptively balsamic, warm and sensual. It begins aloof, suspended even. Then you can sense the immortelle powering up, igniting like bushfire beneath a lush rose and roasted patchouli. Now I had huge flashbacks and just general flashes as Le Mat opens its hot tenderness. Its oriental haze feels like a clever and haunting nod to the Mousse-de-Saxe-based beauties of classic Caron.”
