Kettle Corn at the Beach on a Sunny Day
Keiko Mecheri has a tough time doing wrong in my perfume book, because she uses excellent ingredients, many of which are natural, and she also has good taste. My confidence in her aesthetic judgment was further confirmed upon receiving some long-coveted full bottles in their stunning packaging. I love the bottles so much that I'm tempted to pose as a retailer to see whether they'll sell me the complete collection wholesale. Okay, that's a bit of a fantasy on my part. In reality, I'm on the look out for the best of the bunch housed in these newer, clear bottles to add to my line-up!
UN JOUR D'ETE reminds me a bit of Lolita Lempicka L FLEUR DE CORAIL. There is a salty-sweet snack at the seashore vibe to this. It's a casual perfume and only lightly floral. Some people may be frightened away by the note "monoi" listed in the hierarchy for this fragrance, but the monoi is very, very light, so this smells nothing like full-fledged monoi perfumes and oils.
Instead, UN JOUR D'ETE offers a pleasant excursion to the beach. In some ways, it reminds me of Bond no 9 CONEY ISLAND--only without the cocktails. This is more like kettle corn at the beach than margaritas and ice cream cones at Coney Island. I like this creation, although it's not as profound as some of the perfumes of this house. It's definitely in the running among the clear bottle contenders, but I might like ISLES LOINTAINES more...
