Mogador, Essaouira,
Mogador, the city on the Atlantic, now called Essaouira, fresh Atlantic breeze blowing. The city smells not only of beautiful roses, but also of Thuja, this wood is processed in all corners and smells heavenly.
Mogador by Keiko Mecheri, She has created a strong but very beautiful rose scent, it does not take long and she becomes quite soft. Unfortunately, the scent is also gone pretty quickly.
Something for rose lovers. Something Thuja would certainly have given a Tuk Exotik.
All in all, a beautiful fragrance

Fresh, Clean, Soapy Roses
I'm starting to recognize that Keiko Mecheri is the queen of roses. This house offers an abundance of distinct yet beautiful rose-centric perfumes. I keep adding new ones to my wish list, and MOGADOR is the latest member of the group.

This perfume opens with rose petals strewn literally everywhere, and they are of many different colors, it seems to my nose. I don't know how this house has made so many rose perfumes with not a dowager in the bunch, but I must give credit where credit is due, to the creative director herself.

MOGADOR dries down soapy but, again, it's not the hackneyed smell of rose soap or rose water. Somehow this manages to smell modern rather than dated. Reactions to soap notes vary a lot from person to person, and I do not like all of them, but this one is very appealing to me.

As I find usually to be the case with soapy dry downs, this one has excellent staying power and the soap also serves to anchor the lovely rose notes, which also persist. This creation also has fairly big sillage--wow, I smell great!
(-;

All in all MOGADOR is a wonderful rose perfume for those who like both rose and soap.

Roses and Turkish Delight
I cannot believe there are no reviews on this beautiful fragrance. Out of all the scents I've reviewed in the last few days, Mogador is most worthy of a hundred rave reviews.

This fragrance was my first encounter with Keiko Mecheri's astounding fragrance line. It made perfect sense for me to try Mogador first due to my search for the perfect rose fragrance. Mogador certainly comes close.

The scent is mostly rich, jammy roses with a touch of fruitiness. Mogador is smooth, feminine and powerful. An absolutely delicious rose blend.

Particularly in the opening, Mogador smelt a little chocolatey, like chocolate smothered Turkish Delight to be exact. I wanted to devour it and experience its taste as well as its scent.

Red roses is what I perceive here. This isn't delicate pink, yellow or white roses, this is strong, tarty rose with an element of darkness. There are hints of spice every now and then, however it is not what carries this composition.

Some other reviews I've read say that this fragrance becomes soapy and powdery in the drydown. I have to disagree, because this did not happen for me. It stays relatively concentrated throughout, a soliflore, a rich red rose until the very end.

The lasting power is amazing, as can also be said of the sillage. I highly recommend to all rose lovers and niche enthusiasts.

Quiet, Close, Girly Rose
There is an aquatic, Acqua di Gio, type of quality to this scent, but your nose has to dig up against your arm to find it... any of it, as it sits very close to the skin. And, then, Poof! Barely there after an hour. You'll struggle to find it on your wrists. Very sad how fleeting and close to the skin this is. If anyone finds a similar promise of rose, but with projection and longevity, please share the info with us. Wish this lasted because it's a girly rose.

I can smell both the Bulgarian and the slightly greener Turkish Damascene in this fragrance. Either there's also a hint of spice or it's coming from the May rose. Jasmine undergirds subtly, so it's probably Sambac rather than the Grandiflora. All in all, this is a pleasant, fresh scent. Not gorgeous, but quite pretty nonetheless.
