A Cousin to L'Ombre Rose
Based on the reviews I've seen, the perceptions of Keiko Mecheri MIHIME are really all over the map: from Nivea to fruity-tooty to...I'd say: L'OMBRE ROSE. I have compared a number of niche roses to the superb drydown of the super-economical Jean Brosseau creation, but in this case, I actually find that the opening, too, bears similarities.
MIHIME opens with a baby powdery freshness which lasts less than a minute before transforming into a straightforward but beautiful dried-roses perfume on my skin. I do not find this fruity or sweet or Nivea-like at all. Nor do I agree with the classification of this composition as an oriental floral. To me, this is a very appealing, somewhat vintage-smelling, rose-heavy floral creation.
I like MIHIME a lot, and if the same ground were not so well covered already by L'OMBRE ROSE, I'd consider adding this big sillage perfume with impressive longevity to my collection. Definitely worth sniffing by rose lovers!
