Where Black Currant Tea and Rote Grütze Meet

Keiko Mecheri WILD BERRIES reminds me quite a lot of black currant tea. It's not sweet, but it is quite fruity while at the same time being rather green. I initially thought that this perfume must contain hyacinth, but it appears to be the black currant leaves alone which are imparting the green sensation. This is a very nice red fruit perfume for those who prefer their berries unsweetened rather than soaked in syrup or artificially sweetened.

There's not a touch of sugar or vanilla added to this composition, which seems rich but almost stern compared to the "red berries" mainstream fragrances in near ubiquity. WILD BERRIES demonstrates once and for all that the reputation of red berries has suffered at the hands of those who serve them up only in candied form. Well, it turns out that berries in perfume are suitable for grown-ups, too.

WILD BERRIES reminds me a tiny bit also of Rote Grütze, which is an infusion comprising dried red berries. It brews up rich, dark red and tastes delicious without sugar. I've never even been tempted to add sugar to it! It seems to me that anyone who appreciates Black Currant or Rote Grüze tea would feel a natural affinity for this perfume!

Tame berries

I'm a fan of Keiko Mecheri perfumes, Datura Blanche is one of my most loved fragrances ever, and I also have and love Ume, Paname and Loukhoum. Wild Berries is a pleasant scent, but one of the weaker links in the Mecheri lineup.
Like the name says, it smells like a mix of forest berries, mainly raspberry and blackberry to my nose. They are quite sweet and syrupy, and they don't smell all that natural. Even though no violets are listed, it also smells a bit like violet pastilles. A hint of greenery and clean white musk adorn the berries, otherwise it's pretty simple.

The scent has a similar vibe to Lalique Amethyst, but it's lighter and thinner. L'Artisan Mûre et Musc is in the same ballpark, too, but muskier and greener. I'd say Wild Berries is somewhere in between these two.

It's fine, but I find it a bit boring and not worth the price. I don't find it as glaringly synthetic as some others, but I wish the berry notes had a bit more natural juiciness to them, and I would have appreciated a twist in this, a little more depth.

A Little Piece of Paradise

Unfortunately, I can't say who I owe the sample to. Here’s a heartfelt thank you to the noble donor. I really enjoy berries. I like this slightly sour aroma paired with fruity and tart sweetness.

Wild Berries is a tribute to those berries, underlined with the finest musk. Which is supposed to be characteristic of the scents from Keiko Mecheri. I can't say too much about that. This is the second fragrance from this house that I am exploring closely. The first was Cuir Cordoba, which impressed with its interesting blend of iris and suede. So far, I have only noticed that both are very noble and exquisite.

It starts off quite bitter, sour, and green. Actually rather dark and even a bit mystical. Dark, shiny blackcurrants, and there must be some fresh leaves that have accidentally made their way into the bottle. Slightly bitter, you can almost taste it. This bitter and sour fruit juice leaves a bitter film on the tongue. I find it by no means unpleasant. A bit cumbersome, yet fresh, not too pleasing. I quite like it. A full-bodied and natural aroma, without glucose or fructose syrup.

This somewhat rough and dark opening soon gives way to the bright and caressing heart note. The green, grassy impression fades. The strawberry can be beautifully detected. Also natural, but pleasantly sweet. A slightly bitter and herbaceous note lurks in the background the whole time, giving the fragrance the necessary depth. I perceive the musk as very soft and clean. Initially somewhat soapy, it gradually transforms into something gentle and creamy. Overall, the fragrance changes more and more into a tamer version. A light and fluffy berry cream. Beautifully refreshing and initially a little cool, it melts silkily and soothingly. A dessert that is wonderfully light yet still appears sensual and feminine. The fragrance gains more warmth and charm.

The base reveals itself rather quietly and delicately. The initially bitter and herbaceous tones are no longer discernible. Only a warm and gentle whisper remains. An elegant, soft scent. Not at all perfumey or intrusive. A cozy clean cream scent, enhanced with a delicious berry aroma. Far removed from a clichéd fruit basket and bowls of sugar.

The longevity is quite decent at around eight hours. Unfortunately, the sillage is rather close to the body. A good choice for spring, summer, and warm days in autumn. Suitable for any occasion and envelops the wearer in a soft and silky cocoon. I can't think of a specific age group to which I could categorize the fragrance.

Like most bottles from the brand, this one impresses with good craftsmanship, elegant design, and the spray head works very well too.

A beautiful and natural berry scent. Light and unobtrusive. Elegant and warm. I can't call it wild. But the berries contained definitely are. They come across as not artificial at all.

A fruity toast to this refreshing tribute.

The Chilled Musk Creature

After the twisted nose that a tiny tester of "Rouge No. 2" by Micallef had given me, I first needed a recovery to clear my nose. In my search for delicious berry scents, I came across this one, and it is a revelation!

As other users have described before me, this fragrance is very subtle, fine, elegant.
Not a cloyingly sweet fruit candy that sticks to the corners of your mouth and comes on too strong.
No artificiality like in cheap fruit yogurt.

No, this scent has a finely tart berry quality that is hard to find. Greenish gooseberries, not quite ripe yet, a few scattered wild strawberries, the tiny ones with the insane lipstick aroma, currants, raspberries,... they are all there! But the unsweetened forest variety, smaller, finer, with more real aroma. No breeding for bombast and show - hidden under shady foliage...

The whole transparent shimmering summer, jewel-like, red-glowing little fruits nestled in dark leaves, sprayed with fresh water.

In the 60s, there was this peculiar stuff here and there in the summer that, despite its artificiality, somehow tasted and smelled real: cold soup with sago.
Mixed with water, it created a thick soup, lightly pink in color, with transparent sago (frog eggs) grains in it. From the fridge, quickly spooned, it was THE refreshment of my childhood days.
Raspberry had such a special aroma, a scent - that I find again in this cocktail here.

Wild Berries has this gently cooling, berry effect on me. Juicy. Close to the skin. Addictive.
Whatever "crystal" musk may be (and ONLY the musk creature knows that...), what remains awakens a desire for more, for new, for another spray.

Skillfully!

Hanae? Oh, not really...

My first Mecheri bottle has just arrived.

I would say it’s my most elegant fruity scent.
It differs significantly from the many fruity fragrances I own.
Still, I find it incredibly difficult to describe this scent. Luckily, Mandelmaus' comment below describes it much more clearly and in more detail than I could.

I can agree with my predecessors that the berries come across as beautifully natural, not too sweet, and not synthetic in this fragrance.

It starts fresh, slightly sour, and berry-like. After a very short time, musk joins in, or as Keiko prefers to call it, "crystal musk," giving the scent an immediately special, slightly woody note.
It doesn’t stay sour for long; it then becomes creamier, even more natural. Fruity and clean throughout.

I perceive the sillage as very weak, almost skinny. The longevity on my "scent-eating skin" (where did I steal this term from?!) is about 5-6 hours, which is completely acceptable for me.

For me, it’s not a scent for every day, but rather for more refined occasions. I will cherish it.

In my opinion, there is a pronounced similarity to "HANAE" from the same house. Wild Berries is slightly fruitier and a bit less woody.
