Very helpful Review
Walk in a Tropical Park
Vacation in the South Seas - the thought arises immediately upon spraying. First, I smell Tiaré and a bit of coconut (reminds me of good Monoi oil), a little later also jasmine and tuberose, which bring a floral heaviness to the fragrance blend, all softly and snugly nestled on a creamy-vanilla base. The association with good sunscreen is unavoidable, but this scent is finer, a bit more elegant.
When I close my eyes, I can actually see myself on a tropical island, but not on the beach or even in the jungle, rather in a well-kept tropical park, surrounded by lush white flowers, shortly after the sun has set, yet everything still radiates a hint of golden light. The surroundings are still filled with the heat of the day, but a light breeze carries with it the heavy scent of the flowers along with a touch of the impending darkness.
The fragrance is perfect for a vacation in warm regions - or when one simply longs to close their eyes and dream of a beautiful island… In my opinion, it’s not necessarily suitable for everyday life or work, or even special occasions, but as a leisure scent in summer, it is quite fitting, or also in the evening for cocktails - then ideally paired with Pina Colada or Coconut Daiquiri, the drink to match the scent, so to speak ;-)
Unfortunately, the longevity on my skin is not particularly good, which I have also experienced with other Mecheri fragrances. I couldn’t notice any significant similarities with Pure Poison or In The Mood For Love on myself.
