Hanae Keiko Mecheri 1998

This fragrance has taken on a very special place for me from the very beginning. I usually prefer either pronounced animalistic scents or (when it's hot outside) floral-fruity fragrances, but this one belongs to neither group; it's simply in a different scent universe.
Defining the scent by its components is difficult for me, as I have never smelled yuzu "live," but the way the top note "sounds," I can well imagine the delicate citrus blossoms. Right after applying, you feel embraced or thrown into a soft cloud, a feeling of lightness and tenderness. In the end, a similarly delicate hint of musk remains, which lingers on the skin for quite a while.
If someone were to ask me to close my eyes and simply describe my associations, they would be: a virgin experiencing love for the first time, giving her beloved the first kiss on the cheek, embracing him and thus the whole world; the laughter of a child that is as pure and crystal clear as a mountain stream.
The fragrance is definitely a mood and thought lifter, at least that's how I feel on these currently rainy and cold days, just close your eyes and take off...
