Keiko Mecheri 2003 EDP
Ume
Keiko Mecheri Ume is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Ume opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Plum, settles into a heart of Peach Blossom, Wisteria, Persimmon, and Spicy, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, Mahogany, and Hinoki Wood. Keiko Mecheri's Ume carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.
This is a love-it-or-hate-it plum experience, a deeply polarising scent that splits opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old lady cough drop'. Expect boozy plum and florals underpinned by woods and spice, but be warned: this chameleon changes dramatically on different skin chemistry and temperatures.
