Mindful Moments: How Fragrance Can Help Us Find Serenity

Just like the smell of chocolate chip cookies might remind us of childhood, or the smell of roses reminds us of romance — the Maison Margiela Matcha Meditation fragrance encapsulates our most mindful moments with a calming accuracy. Leading with a bright Bergamot essence, Matcha Meditation is reminiscent of the worry-free bliss signature to closing our eyes and going inward. A meditation practice allows us to return to the world with pure joy — and this fragrance taps into that too with the luminous Orange Flower absolute. (In the fragrance world, “absolute” means the most concentrated form.)

Even better, there’s a warmth and comfort to this fragrance akin to a rainy afternoon spent journaling and sipping tea. These are the kind of memories that the Matcha accord and Benzoin absolute of this fragrance bring to the surface. (“Accord” refers to the harmony of several components that creates a unique scent.) Think about this: every time you’ve held a steaming mug of tea and settled into relaxation, the herbal smell has fused with the moment to create a fond memory. A spritz of Matcha Meditation is inspired to help you access that relaxation.
