Datura Blanche Keiko Mecheri for women

it smells nice

I love Serge Luten's Datura Noir and was hoping for its complement in this.
It is nice, sweet, feminine, but doesn't really have the oomph I was looking for.

I love it! This is a beautiful scent. It's difficult for me to describe, for some reason, but I will try:

very soft vanilla (but not too sweet), touch of powder, and a little floral (heliotrope). It's mysterious, feminine and intoxicating to me. Not your typical, in-your-face, vanilla scent at at all. I have smelled many vanilla scents over the years and I can't compare this to any of them- it's unique.

I will say that it doesn't really smell like night-blooming Angel's Trumpet that I expected to smell. I have them growing in my yard and they have an indescribable scent- sort of marshmallow and soft lemon-lime. They are intoxicating (literally)! But it does capture their essence- the feeling you get when you smell them.

The only con for this perfume- it should last longer considering how expensive it is.

La potenza e la longevità sono abbastanza impressionanti

Hmmm- I'm trying to decide if I like this or not...

One thing's for sure-I agree with njdeb- this fragrance is s w e e t! It is so strongly vanilla that, from beginning to end, all I really smell is vanilla sugar! It is like an amped-up Coty Vanilla Fields-

Potency and longevity are pretty awesome- this "angel's trumpet" of a fragrance should be "heard" for miles and miles...

This is pretty. Warm and lightly sweet - but not sugar sweet - sweet like a heavy blossom in its prime. Very feminine, a little breezy...and can a fragrance be subtle and dizzying at the same time? There is something "hot climate like" in this scent - like sitting under a blooming tree, sipping a heady cocktail and watching the velvety evening sun playing on your skin. A little powdery, Datura Blanche is relaxed, yet quite seductive. Unfortunately the drydown - I agree with njdeb - is sort of generic vanilla-ish scent. Still - a likable fragrance!

Initially a sweet, light and airy floral. I've never smelled a datura flower, but the floral smell I get here reminds me of a combination of ylang ylang and frangipani. I think it's the heliotrpoe that adds the powderiness I also find in this perfume. After a few minutes a nice creamy vanilla aroma emerges to mix with the florals.

Unfortunately, I find the final drydown to be pretty much just vanilla ice cream and powdered sugar. The florals really fade into the background and this becomes a not very original powdery gourmand scent that I know I have smelled somewhere before (just can't remember what it was).

Another Keiko Mecheri that I just tried, Loukhoum Eau Poudre, is also a powdery and foody perfume, but IMO is more interesting and distinctive than Datura Blanche.
