Keiko Mecheri Sanguine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000. Keiko Mecheri's Sanguine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Sanguine is divisive: for some, it's a 'posh' natural blood orange dream; for others, an overpriced, fleeting scent with a soapy or even 'bathroom cleaner' musk. Your mileage will absolutely vary, and you might need to reapply.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Sanguine opens with a vibrant, zesty splash of Amalfi lemon and juicy blood orange, feeling sun-drenched and natural. This bright citrus quickly settles into a clean, sometimes soapy musk, with hints of green from the petitgrain. The dry-down retains a gentle, soft musk with a lingering whisper of green notes, offering a refreshing and clean finish.
