With regard to this house I must say that there are some misses, and there are some incredible hits.
The UME is the most beautiful chypre I have ever smelt on my skin. It totally works for me in a way that brings to mind all the beautiful Japanese scent memories of childhood. Sensual and fresh at the same time, yet not overly sexy and never with an acid bite. Perfectly balanced, gracious, sensually delicate feminine elegance....rather like the fabled reputation of the Kyoto geisha themselves.
The CAMELLIA reminds me distinctly of Van Cleef & Arpels' MUGUET BLANC. Very beautiful pristine LOV floral.
The WILDBERRIES was hideous. I smelled like Bubblicious Bubble Gum from beginning to end without relief. Never again.
The BOIS DE SANTAL was a light, tender, medium weight clean sandalwood with no acridity or bite in the woody purity. Very Nice.
The HANAE is a delicate, sweet, white fruity floral that just blooms perfectly with my chemistry. Incredibly beautiful, one of my favorites I plan to always keep in wardrobe!
The MIHIME is a beautiful light oriental floral rose of tremendous freshness and moderate sweetness with a kick of oakmoss, bergamot, and violet leaves, clean musk, fresh peaches, some vetiver and amber with heliotrope and narcissus for a touch of warm earthy sensuality and a bit of depth. Love it!
The NUIT D'IZU is a very clean and refreshing citrus aromatic with a touch of sweet woody smoothness I would love to wear in summer.
All in all, I must say I with the exception of Wildberries, I love this house on me!
