Designer Masaki Matsushima burst into the world’s perfume market without ritual Japanese nods. Already originally perfumes, released in two thousand and the first year, instilled in Europeans a passion for orientality. What is the secret to the popularity of Masaki Matsushima fragrances? It is likely that he very successfully combines the traditions of European perfumes with the unthinkable minimalism and laconicism of Japan. In this article, we will consider the main samples of aromas that the designer created in close collaboration with the French perfumer Jean Jacques. It should be said that the creative duet is very working. From two thousand and one to this day, he gives the world about two flavors per year.
Matte perfume "Masaki Matsushima"
The first pancake is not always lumpy. At least for such a brilliant designer, the debut in the field of perfumery was very successful. He began to conquer the world with the Mat series. In 2001, the first two perfumes were released: for men and women. The creators did not become wise for a long time and assigned the colors of the floors blue and pink to the aromas. The bottle in both spirits is the same and very original, with a truncated side. “Real Japanese,” users described it. The fact that "Mat Blue Masaki Matsushima" - men's perfumes, many girls learned with amazement. Yes, they are fresh, citrus, but so tender! The aroma opens with piercing notes of tea, mint, bergamot, bamboo and juniper. But in the heart lurking such women-loved lotus and rose. Yes, and the trail of the aroma is sweet musky. In "Mat Pink" flower and fruit composition. Grapefruit, raspberries, peach and mangoes vie with rose and jasmine.
Other matte scents
Can the color smell? Perfumers asked this question and began to create other matte perfumes of Masaki Matsushima. Among them is the attention of Mat White. Saturated white color is locked in a bottle of these feminine perfumes. In the previous composition (bamboo, tea, mint, juniper) mixed mango, water jasmine, black currant and even watermelon. To match him, "Mat Orange." All sunny fruits are gathered under the lid! Here, and mandarin, and red with bitter oranges, and apricot. But the perfume does not smell like "Fanta." Users claim that the aroma is complex, aromatic, with bitterness. Women's perfume Mat le Rouge (2003) brought together juicy red berries. This is a very oriental smell. The delicate harmony of acidity and sweetness is emphasized by a subtle woody smell. Another discovery of the two thousand and third year was the unisex "Mat le Vert." These perfumes, according to reviews, are suitable for lovers of water scents. Green tea, cucumber, kiwi and lime dominate the beginning. They are complemented by bamboo and lotus. Musk and sugarcane can be heard in the train .
M Series Masaki Matsushima
Somewhere in the middle of the two thousandths, the designer released a unisex with a very concise name - "M". This is a gift for those who like fresh and cool flavors. The design of the bottle is similar to “Mat”, but the bottle is truncated from below, not from above. In the classic “M”, the pyramid opens with juniper berries, lychee, apricot, passion fruit and numerous citrus fruits. But in the heart of the fragrance iris alone rules. Its woody notes only set off. In the train, watermelon and musk are guessed. The fragrance appeared in two thousand and five, and the next year new spirits “Masaki Matsushima” - “Man Maine” came out. Naturally, this is a masculine fragrance. Its composition can be classified as aromatic. Reviews call it the real smell of samurai. Concise, restrained, noble. Rosemary astringency is mitigated by citrus fruits. White tea, lotus, bamboo and vetiver play in the heart of the perfume. At two thousand and nine a “frosty” flannel of this fragrance appeared - “M 0 degrees Maine”. An apple and a very appetizing and sexy tequila smell were added to the freshness of citrus fruits.
Shirou
The creation of two thousand and ten is simply a delight for lovers of winter freshness. Women's perfume “Masaki Matsushima Shiro” reveals a delicate aroma of cyclamen, the sharpness of which softens the flower of cotton. The heart of this perfume is completely Japanese. There is a rose and a mysterious iris. But most users do not stop praising the cable. In it, along with the signature musk for Matsushima, there is a green spruce. The smell of needles is not sharp and unobtrusive. It just gives rise to an association with the New Year holiday, a frosty forest. Freshness to barbs is a good refreshing perfume for a hot summer day.
Tokyo Smile and Tokyo Dise
Masaki Matsushima decided to introduce Europeans to the capital of Japan. Perfume reviews called very oriental, unusual, bewitching. They are futuristic, like Tokyo itself. In Smile, the perfumer is experimenting with exotic fruits. In the top notes we find Japanese mandarin yuzu, as well as other citrus fruits. They are sweetened with passion fruit and peach. In the heart of the aroma there is a rose and champaka, and in the train - characteristic musk. Tokyo Days has a bit more sweetness. It brings melon to the composition. In the heart of this fragrance flowers dominate - jasmine, peony, white rose.
