Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. Loukhoum opens with Hawthorn, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Rose, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Vanilla, and Honey. Keiko Mecheri's Loukhoum carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive, potent, and utterly unique, Loukhoum is either a comforting, sophisticated gourmand or a sickly-sweet baby powder bomb, depending on your skin. Sample first, this isn't a safe blind buy, but for those it works on, it's a glorious, addictive scent.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting, intensely sweet gourmand character, Loukhoum isn't really an office scent unless applied very lightly. It's much better suited for intimate dates or cosy casual wear, offering warmth and comfort. While opulent enough for some formal settings, its sweetness might be overpowering for others.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Loukhoum opens with a subtle hawthorn hint, quickly giving way to a rich, opulent heart of sweet almond and honeyed rose. It settles into a warm, creamy base of vanilla, musk, and soft woods, creating a delicate balance between a realistic confection and a powdery, floral embrace. Imagine delicate Turkish delight dusted in powdered sugar, with a deeply comforting, almost nostalgic sweetness.
