Keiko Mecheri Un Jour d'Ete is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Keiko Mecheri's Un Jour d'Ete carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This summer day in a bottle is surprisingly divisive. Some find it a sophisticated take on a tropical holiday, others struggle with a confusing blend of notes, leaning into either a salty ambergris overload or too much masculine woodiness.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Un Jour d'Ete opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and tangerine, quickly softened by the green and floral notes. As it settles, a creamy, subtle coconut emerges, blended with rich jasmine and clean musk. The base develops into a salty, slightly woody ambergris, adding an unexpected depth that veers away from a typical beachy vibe.
