Soft and Cozy

I am seriously wondering whether Keiko Mecheri WHITE PETALS may be the precursor to CAMELLIA. I say this because the petals in this composition, too, seem much more pink to me than white.

Upon application, I thought that I was perceiving tuberose and jasmine, but neither is listed among the notes. There is a sort of buttery quality, softy and comforting, and a thickness, to this creation. As the perfume develops, what seems to my nose to be magnolia comes through stronger and stronger. So perhaps camellia really does smell just like magnolia, as that was what I believed myself to be primarily detecting in CAMELLIA as well!

I suspect that the low ratings on this perfume at another site (not here, where people are generally more sophisticated, lol) have something to do with the fact that WHITE PETALS is not at all a big white floral composition, as its name suggests. It's not at all sharp, and this is not at all about the triumvirate tuberose-gardenia-jasmine. Instead, it's a big, creamy, light pink floral composition.

WHITE PETALS is soft and billowy and and luscious, and I'm sure to add either this one or CAMELLIA to my collection at some point. It's only a matter of time, since I love magnolia--or reasonable facsimile, which camellia appears to be.

Zero Points from Swabia

May I introduce you to my best friend? My Maisi. Maisi and I come from the same corner in Swabia, but we only met here in Switzerland - and it’s not just our shared roots that connect us. Just my best, sweetest Maisi friend ;o)
Unlike me, Maisi was raised in a truly Swabian way. Whenever I present her with a new fragrance from my collection, this one-sixty small, delicate lady (who has even been mistaken for my daughter!!!) furrows her brow and imitates her father's deep gruff voice: "Ha, what does that cost again!", only to immediately roll up her sleeve boldly so I can give her a spritz. This is how I found out, for example, that skin chemistry does not just exist theoretically - on her, all fragrances actually smell much sweeter than on me.
Maisi has had a signature scent for years: Flower by Kenzo. Of course, I love that fragrance on her.
So, when I found a good deal, I ordered a big bottle of Flower by Kenzo for her and gifted it to her. But instead of the expected "Ha, what does that cost again!" she said: "Maisi, are you crazy??!" (I am also Maisi) "You can get that much cheaper at Denner!" Then she did throw her arms around me and was happy that she now has the original.
Denner is a discount store here in Switzerland that also offers imitation cheap perfumes. Not that she couldn't afford the original herself, but the Swabian upbringing is thorough ;o)
Now I have found another fragrance with White Petals that smells just like Kenzo's Flower. I’ll skip the description for now; you all surely know it. The only tiny little difference: White Petals comes with a dollop of thick Nivea cream, which almost takes my breath away. Flower is a bit more sparkling, lighter, fresher.
When it comes to fragrances, I am currently a fan of quality. But if I have a dupe for €15, the original for €50, and a niche fragrance for €150 to choose from, all three smelling the same and not differing much in longevity and sillage, then the Swabian in me also speaks up, unfortunately telling the owners of White Petals: "Are you crazy??!"

Breathtaking "White"

Breathtaking

You are beautiful. Stunningly beautiful!
I have rarely seen something so breathtaking.
Your body, your skin, your face;
there is surely nothing more beautiful
And you, breathtaking day
have no idea how much I like you.
Full of warmth, full of life, full of light
there is surely nothing more beautiful.
Oh how beautiful you are, enchanting night,
watching over all the sleepers.
With gentleness and starlight
there is surely nothing more beautiful
A rainbow, whose splendor brightens the sky
and nearly casts day and night into shadow.
Good that I just caught it
for there is surely nothing more beautiful
And I see the sun's glowing shine
It must be so warm in the hearts of people
Understanding, respect, forgiveness, renunciation
for there is surely nothing more beautiful
(Ramona Jährling)

Hmmmm, such a beautiful, white, floral, delicate scent.
Soft, silky, like a whisper, as if one is floating through a white mist with closed eyes. Arms outstretched, palms up, like an angel stretching its head toward the sky and smiling...

There are floral scents and floral scents - funny, isn't it ;-)
But I think you know what I mean.
White Petals is a beautiful name for this fragrance. So lovely, so fitting *swoon*

This blend of peony - this lush flower, strong, vibrant, full - and the delicate may rose - beautiful, tender, modest and pure, the two together --> a dream!
Camellia - also so beautiful, but delicate, yet herbaceous and in a way lovely without being sweet.
Daffodil, which comes across almost a bit bitter, yet radiant and adds some pep to the bouquet of flowers.
Lily of the valley, so cheeky and softly ringing, here and then gone again, hidden behind the dark green leaves.
And then the woody, fine wood, clean wood and iris, powdery and creamy without becoming too forward. Subtle in the background, so that White Petals does not become herbal or biting.
Such a beautiful, romantic "white" scent - I am thrilled!

By the way, I absolutely do not share the widely spread opinion that White Petals smells similar to Flower by Kenzo! OMG not at all, otherwise it would have never landed on any part of my skin!

Magic Word

Today the city was lavishly adorned with Christmas roses, a sight I truly enjoy.
What could be more beautiful than flowers in the cold winter?

During a quick visit to my favorite perfume shop, I let my eyes wander over the bottles and stopped at a simple one.

The helpful saleswoman whispered to me: White flowers!

That was the magic word - I couldn't get enough of the white Christmas roses outside.
So I sprayed on White Petals.

It opens with a creamy white blend of gentle camellia and delicate peony, welcoming me softly.
Not a bright white, but a softly muted one - like that of the Helleborus.
It doesn't dazzle, but rather brightens the scene like festive candlelight.

The lily of the valley underscores the cozy atmosphere and gives the fragrance something familiar.

It reminds me of my mother's aura - and her beloved Flower by Kenzo - but there is only a vague resemblance.
Petals is more subdued - closer, warmer.
The woods and iris add even more depth - yes, emotional depth.

It is a diffusely bright, yet contemplative scent that fits well into the reflective Christmas season with its candle glow.
Soon the beautiful camellias will bloom as well.

For me, it is an expressive winter fragrance, with a gentle radiance that will surely bring joy to my mom as well.

P.S. The longevity of White Petals is incredibly good. It has been faithfully accompanying me for hours.

Wool-White Petals

As "white" as dear Keiko wants to sell us these petals, they are not quite that. They are more cream, ecru, or, yes, wool-white! A fresh note is simply missing for a clear white, which would not really benefit the fragrance anyway.

The opening does have a restrained freshness, but it is so much in the background that it is hardly worth mentioning.

With the heart note, all spring flowers come into play. Well, the flower color is indeed white, but the composition gives them a creamy touch.

This creamy scent then lasts until the dry down. The iris is quite restrained by the woods and cannot fully develop its cool scent. But this is also very advantageous for the fragrance and gives it an elegantly classic note.

I can imagine that this Mecherie may not appeal to the tastes of the general public. Lovers of fragrances like First or Calèche might enjoy it. Not that it has an olfactory similarity, but it shares that certain stylish something with those scents.

Glorious muguet-lead floral musk, lavish with dewy fresh peony and rose, softened by iris and sandalwood...ultra feminine, so very pretty.

Delicate, creamy, and well-groomed with a Nivea feeling. Better than the attempts of the original and only somewhat related to Kenzo's Flower. #upperclass

A fine fragrance composition of perfectly balanced flowers, beautifully creamy. It strongly reminds me of Nivea scent, only White Petals smells more elegant.
