A Rich Plum-Woody Chypre
Keiko Mecheri UME has one of those dangerous fall-in-love-at-the-counter-must-have-this-perfume openings. A gorgeous fruity chypre featuring plum, woods and patchouli. Yum, yum, yum. With a classic chypre texture but a modern chypre scent (no oakmoss or sharp grayness whatsoever), UME is a distant cousin to YVRESSE and DECI DELA. A bit less complex, but still very nice.
I've sampled a number of woody plum perfumes of late, and this is one of the best. The fruit is dark and deep and not very sweet, so I think that some guys might like this as well. UME leans toward the gourmand side but stays closer to a rich woody chypre all the way from opening to drydown. A wonderful wintertime scent!
