Camellia by Keiko Mecheri is a Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Camellia was launched in 2011. The fragrance features amber, tea, magnolia, plum, camelia and woodsy notes.
The opening smells like almonds to me! Maybe it's something to do with the combination of plum and amber. Quite similar to Keiko's Datura Blanche. It's not something I'm overly fond of, there are too many other scents that smell like that.
As it dries down, the plum and woods become more noticable and I get a pleasant, fruity-woody fragrance, but I still don't think it has much character and I wouldn't buy a full bottle.
Longevity if okay at around 4-5 hours but projection isn't fantastic.
Camelia is not a very strong note in this one, I think. I found the scent quite ordinary and not very appealing. So far I wasn't very convinced of any K. Mecheri scent I tested. This scent also appeared to be rather weak.
I was quite excited to sample this fragrance, from looking at the notes, and it lives up to expectations.
The perfume is based around the Asian flowering plant: Camellia, which produces beautifully colored blossoms. And it smells as pretty as it looks.
Although this fragrance is based around Camellia, on my skin the magnolia tends to initially dominate this scent.
It's very sweet and airy, with a lemon candy sort of feel. A slight fruitiness from the plum gives the perfume a zingy tang that sits well against the floral sweetness.
In the dry down the camellia and the tea are a little more pronounced with the tea lending the scent a slight bitterness, and there is a woody base which also slightly tempers the sweetness.
I also find the dry down a lot warmer and cozier than the airy top notes thanks to the presence of the amber as it emerges.
In spite of the bitter tea and the woods, I was quite surprised by just how sweet this scent turned out to be. In the heat, I think that it could potentially get cloying.
While it is quite light, I think that it's best suited in the fall or winter, but it might be passable in spring too.
Initially the sillage was quite strong but it quietens down after the first 2-3 hours. Longevity is no more than six hours.
All in all, I really do like this scent, and very much enjoy wearing it, maybe even enough for a full bottle.
