本文作者推荐Le Labo的Thé Matcha 26作为秋季香氛的理想选择，并认为它优于品牌另一款热门香水Santal 33。作者形容Thé Matcha 26香气甜美、宁静且舒适，带有无花果和雪松的香调，散发着温暖的居家感和欢迎的孤独感，非常适合秋季氛围。与Santal 33的尖锐、过分浓烈不同，Thé Matcha 26香气更贴近肌肤，且能与秋季特有的气味（如南瓜、苹果、烘焙香气）和谐共存，不会被香水味掩盖。该香水价格不菲，但其独特的香调和舒适的体验使其成为作者心中的秋季挚爱。

🍵 **Thé Matcha 26：秋季的静谧之选** 文章作者认为Le Labo的Thé Matcha 26香水是秋季的理想选择，其甜美、宁静和舒适的特质非常契合秋日氛围。它通过奶油般的无花果、苦橙、柔和的香根草和质朴的雪松木等香调，营造出一种温暖而贴近肌肤的香气，适合在秋季低语。

🤔 **Santal 33的争议与Thé Matcha 26的优势** 作者对Le Labo另一款网红香水Santal 33的评价并不高，认为它过于尖锐、浓烈，甚至带有“腌菜味”，不适合秋季。相比之下，Thé Matcha 26则以其温和、细腻的香气脱颖而出，为使用者带来平静和舒适的感觉。

🏡 **营造秋日氛围与和谐共存** Thé Matcha 26不仅香气本身适合秋季，它所营造的“居家感”、“熟悉感”和“欢迎的孤独感”也与秋天紧密相连。更重要的是，它的香气不会与秋季特有的味道（如南瓜、苹果派的烘焙香气）产生冲突，而是能和谐共存，让整体感官体验更加丰富。

💰 **奢华香氛的价值所在** Le Labo的Thé Matcha 26价格不菲，50ml的香水售价240美元，并提供不同规格和香氛产品线（如护手霜、沐浴露、身体乳）。尽管价格高昂，但作者认为其独特的香调、精致的层次感以及所带来的舒适体验，使其成为一种值得投资的奢华香氛选择。

Many people swear by Le Labo's cult-favorite scent Santal 33 for fall.I think Thé Matcha 26 is a better option from the luxury fragrance brand.The perfume is sweet, calm, and cozy, which is ideal for the autumn season.

I'm not convinced that Santal 33 is the ideal perfume choice for fall.

Dozens of TikTok videos and Instagram posts will tell you just that. The product and Le Labo, the luxury fragrance brand that makes it, have a cult-following.

I'm not part of that group. I tried the unisex fragrance last year and found it to be sharp, overpowering, and reminiscent of pickle juice.

That said, I can put my personal dislike aside. My real issue with recommending Santal 33 for fall is that I believe a different Le Labo scent is far more fitting.

That fragrance is Le Labo's Thé Matcha 26.

A $240 perfume with notes of fig and cedar

With a name like Thé Matcha 26, you might think this Le Labo scent smells exactly like a cup of the Japanese drink.

It's similar, but mixed with other unexpected notes.

On Le Labo's website, the brand says the fragrance is made with "creamy fig" and "enticing bitter orange," as well as "soft vetiver and textural cedar woods."

Together, the ingredients create a scent that stays close to the skin. It's meant to be smelled only by "those individuals lucky enough to be very close to the wearer."

An average 50ml bottle of the perfume retails for $240. There's also a smaller $110 option, and larger bottles that retail for $340 and $1,125 each.

In addition to perfume, Le Labo sells the scent as a $48 hand cream, a $65 shower gel, and an $85 body lotion.

Thé Matcha 26: calm, cozy, and subtle

From the minute I first smelled Thé Matcha 26, I knew it would become one of my favorite scents of all time.

Each note seems to be layered evenly, allowing me to smell matcha, cedar, fig, citrus, and the complexities of vetiver simultaneously.

I spray it each morning, and then get whiffs throughout the day. Each time, it feels like I've been transported to a brisk walk outside with colorful trees around me.

That said, it's not just the scent of the perfume that reminds me of fall. It's the calm and cozy energy it creates whenever I wear it.

On its website, Le Labo says the fragrance is meant to evoke feelings of home, familiarity, and "welcomed solitude" — all of which I'd also associate with the fall season.

In my experience, it does exactly that.

Maybe most importantly, though, I've found Thé Matcha 26 to be the perfect perfume to complement the fall scents I already love.

I want to smell pumpkins and apples when I visit my local farm. I want to embrace the way my house smells when autumn treats are baking in my oven.

I don't want any of those scents to be overpowered by my perfume.

Luckily, this Le Labo scent coexists with all of the above. It's the kind of perfume people don't notice until they hug me, and then they want to know all the details.

I can't say that would be the case if I wore Santal 33.
