Isles Lointaines Keiko Mecheri 2011

Smells like a somewhat "more natural," higher-quality version of J-L. Pozo's fragrance "In White," which in turn is an imitation of Dior's "Pure Poison." Orange blossom, jasmine, and candied orange peel are combined in "Isles Lontaines" with very strong amber notes. Very loud, too shrill for me and not living up to the name. "Distant Islands" should smell much finer and more exotic in my imagination, but above all, they should not be a remake of a well-known mainstream blockbuster. I expect more imagination from a niche company than what is shown here. "Pure Poison" or "In White" are available much cheaper than "Isles Lontaines" - and even the bottles of the former two are prettier. I find these black blocks from Keiko Mecheri ugly. The glass bottles used to contain 100 ml, while the black containers now only hold 75 ml, but the price has increased. In my opinion, "Isles Lontaines" is not a great success. Also, in terms of longevity, "In White" and "Pure Poison" are better.
