From Japan With Sweetness: Matcha Ice Cream Theodoros Kalotinis
The creation of Matcha Ice Cream by Theodoros Kalotinis was inspired by the sacred ritual and serene elegance of Japanese matcha tea ceremonies. The concept took shape as a dreamy sensory escape: imagine standing in a sunlit Tokyo street, savoring a cone of artisanal matcha ice cream swirled with citrus and sugar, the scent of crispy waffle wafting through the air. The fragrance encapsulates this memory — a cool breeze, a bite of creamy delight, and the refined simplicity of Japanese taste culture. Kalotinis was captivated by the contrast between the earthy, slightly bitter essence of ceremonial matcha and the delicate sweetness of creamy desserts. This duality sparked the idea of blending fresh matcha tea with velvety vanilla and crisp lime zest, resulting in an olfactory composition that feels both invigorating and indulgent.
Olfactory Notes
On my skin, Matcha Ice Cream opens with a zesty splash of lime that instantly awakens the senses — a crisp, green sparkle reminiscent of a sunlit matcha ceremony. As it settles, the heart reveals a silky blend of matcha tea and creamy vanilla, evoking the smooth richness of a frozen dessert. This stage feels playful yet tranquil, like enjoying ice cream in a peaceful Japanese garden. Finally, the drydown unfolds with sweet sugar and a toasty waffle cone accord, grounding the fragrance in a deliciously nostalgic warmth — like the last crunchy bite of an indulgent, joyful treat.
