Quick answer: Cafe Drops is the richer, stronger-projecting one: coffee, orchid and jasmine over vanilla, caramel, tonka and milk, finishing on amber, musk, wood and patchouli, and it is an evening scent. Matcha Latte is calmer: matcha and white chocolate with florals and a hint of mint, and it is listed for daily wear too. Both are unisex 50 ml gourmand extraits for autumn and winter.
Mykonos Cafe Drops and Mykonos Matcha Latte are both named after café drinks and both have a milky side. One is a coffee dessert; the other is a quieter, greener cup.

What they have in common
Matcha Latte is published without a top, heart and base breakdown, which is why its note rows in the table are empty. Its listed notes are matcha, white chocolate, milk powder, jasmine, tonka bean and vanilla, so it does overlap with Cafe Drops on jasmine, tonka bean, vanilla and a milky accord. Both are strong, unisex gourmand extraits in 50 ml, listed for autumn and winter and for evenings.
How Cafe Drops and Matcha Latte differ
Cafe Drops opens with orchid, jasmine and coffee, then a heart of vanilla, caramel, tonka bean and milk. Amber, musk, wood and patchouli make the base. The brand compares it to a cup of tiramisu: sweet and creamy, with coffee peeking through.
Matcha Latte blends matcha and white chocolate with florals and a hint of mint. The brand describes it as calming, with a zen, relaxed feel, made for a lazy Sunday at home.
Cafe Drops is listed for evenings and special occasions only, and the brand handbook gives it strong sillage and 12+ hours. Matcha Latte is also listed for daily wear, with moderate sillage and 9+ hours in the handbook.
