Maison Matine Eau de Parfum in Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation is an atmospheric scent—cool, slightly smoky, and intentionally unexpected.

This scent resists easy categorization. It’s not traditionally fresh or warm, masculine or feminine. Instead, it feels exploratory and open-ended, aligning well with Maison Matine’s approach to fragrance as mood rather than statement.

Like the rest of their line, it’s made in France by a new generation of perfumers, using largely natural-origin, clean, vegan ingredients and minimal packaging designed to reduce excess.

This is especially appealing if you like scents that shift throughout the day. The opening feels crisp and airy, while the base settles into something drier and more grounded.

This is a good choice if you want a fragrance that feels distinctive and defiant without being overpowering. It leaves an impression that’s subtle, a little mysterious, and hard to place in the best way.
