Born, according to Clive Christian, in 1892 in the archives of the Crown Perfumery, Matsukita returned in 2021 in the Crown Collection: a woody chypre in which green bergamot, pink pepper and nutmeg open onto Chinese imperial jasmine and smoky yerba mate, over a base of musks, ambers and oakmoss.
Bergamot, oakmoss and yerba mate: this is how the house sums up Matsukita, which it describes as a woody chypre, floral according to its launch story, playing on a contrast between shadow and light.
Bergamot, pink pepper and nutmeg
In the top, green bergamot meets the sparkle of pink pepper and spicy nutmeg, for a fresh, invigorating opening. The heart, floral and woody, joins Chinese imperial jasmine with smoky yerba mate; the house adds sambac jasmine and guaiac oil.
Ambers, musks and moss
The base brings together rich ambers, fir balsam absolute and whispering musks, for a warm, mysterious finish. Cent Magazine also detailed incense, black pepper, rose, magnolia, cade, styrax, cedar, vetiver and patchouli.
