Match Point EDP starts with a blast of the citrus accord, more creamy than tangy. The spicy pink pepper berries blend with tangy citrus fruit while a herbal, resinous, and balmy veil lingers in the background. The creaminess I receive is akin to that of cashmere wood. There is a tip of soapiness in the beginning, but it fades away as soon as the top notes calm down. Do not test it on a paper strip, or worse, judge it hastily since the cologne grows on the skin and gets better and better. The soapiness is a mirage that disappears as the perfume approaches the heart phase.
A powdery accord oozes from the heart, and a not listed iris root fills the air with its dustiness. There is plenty of powder but nothing lipstick-like. Lavender is not too aromatic or herbaceous. Instead, it takes part in the creamy edge I got in the opening and proceeds here. The middle stage is bitter, and the blue gentian oil adds a floral touch tinged with anise shades full of bitterness and muskiness. Gentian is the protagonist and is an unusual note. The minty and balmy nuance is detectable since the first spray comes from the cardamom pods.
