matcha shaving soap - Ultima 2
Walking through Kyoto’s tea houses and Tokyo’s hidden matcha bars, Thalia saw how every step, the measuring, the pouring, the whisking was a meditation. The ceremony wasn’t just about taste; it was about presence and we wanted to capture it all within this fragrance.
This scent is an homage to her interpretation of japanese matcha. She is truly a connoisseur and drinks matcha on the daily; it's an addiction at this point. Although the traditional method of consumption is as koicha or usucha, she prefers my matcha in latte form. This is the ultimate 'freshie'. We hope you like it!

i bought the set of shaving soap and aftershave.
the lather is really good, easy to create. the gliding aspect of the lather is top, and the skincare during and post shave is pretty good.
the fragrance for me is not really matcha, i understand that it is so hard to creat this specific fragrance. it reminds me of matcha and the total opposite as well. and i have been to japanese matcha ceremonies a couple of times even in kyoto. but fair enough its all over a very good product, with a fragrance i still like
Matcha Tea is an intoxicating experience not to be missed. I love drinking Matcha Tea and this soap and splash transports me to a cozy Japanese tea house somewhere very far away! Rich, creamy, earthy green awesomeness!
Awesome product
Fresh, green, nice cologne scent
Matcha tea as a shaving soapdoes it work? Absolutely! Lightly green, earthy, deliciously creamy and milky, with a subtle spicy undertone, all wrapped in a masculine touch. Everything in perfect balance. A scent to kneel foror meditate with, if you prefer. ;-)
The post-shave feel and lathering, as with all of Peters masterpieces, are top-notch. Highly recommended, especially for tea and matcha fans.
Ariana did a great job on this. Back in the day, I was stationed in Japan and that's where I first experienced matcha tea. She nailed it. I'm sure Peter had a hand in this as well. This is wonderful, honestly, one of their best scents
I don't know what matcha is, but this is not what I expected. I expected something like tea, which I like a lot. This is even better to my surprise. It's different and creamy, maybe minty. I'm not good at scents, but this is nice. What I do know about is soaps. This is the best soap I ever used. It holds a lot and I didn't expect this, but i pushed it and couldn't break it. Slickness was great and the best post shave I have felt.
We love matcha and my wife prepares her tea every day for us. Folks, this is the real deal. It smells amazing! just like our matcha powder, it's fresh, green, earthy, slightly minty and creamy. Very nice job Ariana and team
