Candied blackberries in a Gucci bag
An unagitated, yet delicate perfume for the lady who wants to appear a little neo-chic, and flirts with the woman with the gucci purse, who wants to smell chic in the gym even during sports. Or for the employee on the executive floor who wants to make an elegant impression without being conspicuous and at the same time impress her superiors with her finesse, her sense of sophistication. Generally speaking, a powdery fragrance, but without cloud, no cotton wool to be fooled by, the saffron note, the memory of blackberry, is too much in evidence; gives the fragrance an angularity, something sharp, a small twinge. After a while, the powderiness is only noticeable in the form of a dusty lipstick, drowned out by the fruity, woody aftertaste.

Complex and unexpectedly carnal, in the end
What a wild ride Keiko Mecheri GOURMANDISES is! I would not go so far as to say that it is a novelty scent à la Serge Lutens, but it does offer a range of contrasts, none of which is unpalatable, but none of which beckons me for a full-bottle. I could definitely wear this creation again and enjoyably, but it is so event-like that I would only want to have it around to wear for myself, I think. Although I hasten to add that I can understand how someone might develop an addiction for this scent.

GOURMANDISES opens rather sweetly, with what seems to my nose to be a raspberry jam note. There is always a dark jam fruitiness from start to finish, but the opening is especially fruity and jamlike. What happens next is that the ambrette begins to shine through until at some point it seems to be just as strong as the fruit. This is an eccentric use of ambrette, it seems to me. Certainly it's nothing like the use of ambrette in perfumes sniffed by me before. I'm thinking of, for example, DelRae MYTHIQUE and Bond no 9 HARRODS ROSE, neither of which is sweet.

Unbelievably enough, by the drydown, this perfume starts to seem downright sexual. Very suggestive. I don't know how this happened but GOURMANDISES started in the kitchen and ended up in the bedroom!

sweet medicine
Gourmandises opens sweet with rose and praline. then when it settles it turns on my skin in something medicinal. Like and old apothecary would smell. I guess its the safron who cozes this. Its not a scent that I would wear
