Ume Keiko Mecheri
The fragrance features Plum, Chinese Osmanthus, Spices, Mahoganywood, Wisteria, Patchouli, Yellow Mandarin, Camellia, Peony, Oakmoss, Jasmine, Hinoki Wood, Peach Blossom, Persimmon, Bergamot and Pepper. Ume is named after the Asian plum called Ume. This species of plum has spread from China to the Far East. It blooms in late winter and announces the arrival of spring, and therefore in Japan, together with sakura (cherry blossom), ume symbolizes the early spring time. Ume was inspired by the glamorous 1920s and Art Deco, and brings a flowery, intoxicating, brightly vintage, and rich, oriental fruity accords. The soft fruity opening brings bergamot, yellow mandarin and peach leaf. The floral notes of the heart, composed of delicate Japanese wisteria, jasmine and Chinese osmanthus, slide into a sharp and airy combination of woods (Hinoki, mahogany, patchouli) and moss. The fragrance was created in 2006.
