Hanae Keiko Mecheri 1998

Hanna and her Cake
There are fragrances that awaken a long-forgotten memory. Hanae is one of them. I just wonder what I am reminded of. I must have had a similar scent before. The fragrance feels so familiar and so pleasant.
So, I think, think, think, and suddenly it comes to me: cheesecake batter. That’s how sweetened quark smells, with a good amount of cream cheese mixed in and a generous portion of grated citrus peel. Wonderful. But am I perhaps mistaken? Schnuffi confirms the closeness to the pastry shop by comparing it to candied cherries. I like that.
However, the scent soon leaves cakes and tarts behind and becomes floral in a very interesting way. There’s some exotic fruit at play that I can't easily identify, but it smells just like canned lychees! It must be the Yuzu, a fruit from Asia.
Overall, I preferred the initial cheesecake aroma. The development of the fragrance into an exotic-fruity direction doesn't appeal to me as much. Additionally, there’s a kind of powderiness that comes off slightly smoky.
Conclusion: still a bit of an acquired taste for my nose and a tad too sugary.
P.S.: Thank you Schnuffi for the first Keiko Mecheri scent that I got to test :-)
