Wild Berries Keiko Mecheri 2001

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.
