Tennis Match

[Lycanthrope]

Crushed grass, dandelion sap, green oakmoss, lettuce leaf, and white pepper.

Opening the bottle, greeted immediately with a splorty wet blade of grass, and definitely a little bit of that milkiness of dandelion sap. I love Beth's grassy scents, so I'm very excited that there's so much GREEN in the description.

Applied to the skin, it's definitely like wow, like more mushed crushed grass leaves, and as it continues to dry down, it gets rounder. I really like the Blade of Grass Halloweenie that appears on occasion, but that is more of a 'cold wet grass,' whereas as this sits on the skin, I can get a tiny prickle of heat, the vegetable note is more than just 'park grass,' I think it gets a bit more fullness from the addition of the lettuce. I kind of smells like when you chew on an unseasoned leaf of lettuce. Wet, cool, crisp. With more time, this doesn't evaporate as fast as Blade of Grass does on me. That's a very brief-lived, environmental scent. Tennis Match seems to have a bit more staying power, and a bit more 'dirtiness' (oakmoss?)

My verdict: slightly different, more wet/full-leafy Blade of Grass, without dried leaf note, and with a little spicy mossy base, but still reads forward as grassy.

The opening felt like lying down in the park with grass inches from your face. After about twenty minutes, I was left with a soapy oakmoss and a hint of white pepper, which stayed the same through the dry-down. Not a fan of that, but the opening zingy blast was really great. Reminded me of The Gap's Grass scent and I could smell each of the listed notes except for maybe dandelion sap (because I don't remember what that smells like).

the lab's bright grass and silky sap notes woven into a dapper oakmoss tweed. feels kinda old-timey, dashing, distinguished. if you've been craving earthy oakmoss brightened up with grass/sap notes or wanting the lab's grass-sap notes smudged and made slightly more serious with oakmoss, this is your baby right here! makes me think of an old-fashioned university-schooled naturalist dressed up in a suit, out and about recording field notes about blooms in a city park.

Dandelion, grass, and a touch of white pepper. Green, grassy, clean. Great throw and wear length.

In the bottle: super green, grassy, and fresh! I expected all grass, all the time, but the lettuce note is also really noticeable. I agree with the reviewer above that it's reminiscent of the Gap's Grass perfume, but with more depth to it. It goes through a brief Irish Spring phase right after I apply it, but then the oakmoss and pepper come out to add some earthiness. After drydown, I mostly get oakmoss and grass, more earthy than fresh. I miss the initial fresh phase, but this is still a great warm-weather scent; highly recommended if green scents are your thing.
