Paradise Lost

Blind bought a bottle as the reduced price was too good to pass as Keiko Mecheri’s perfume house is currently my favourite . Like a lot of her florals which I now own , this is a sheer , elegant perfume , beautifully blended with quality ingredients that a niche perfume house should represent . Yes , this is not a ground breaking scent , the opening notes remind me of Jour D’Hermes with its sour citrus notes . It’s not one of my favourite perfumes from Keiko Mecheri house . Just feel the sourness borderlines unisex/ masculine fragrances . The sourness seems to linger quite awhile , overshadowing the white florals .I get a musky base throughout and this sourness and powder mix doesn’t suit my tastes . I was waiting for the vanilla ( boozy vanilla seems weird) and woody notes to appear but that didn’t appear till a few hours later . I don’t think I will keep the bottle . I am rather confused with the name - Paradise Lost . I have lived in Phillipines ,Japan, Hong Kong , Indonesia , Australia and New Zealand and visited Italy three times . This scent doesn’t represent an Olfactory journey through Paradise to me but of course that’s subjective . Next stop , purchasing The Beautiful Ones by this house .

Essenza lineare, con uno sviluppo molto equilibrato. La sua è una florealità che apre accompagnata dal lime ma che sa velocemente essere matura, piena, rotonda. La presenza del sandalo e della vaniglia la rende morbida e zuccherina, stimoldando il desiderio di addentarne i petali più che annusarli. Un fiore moderno, ammaliante, che sa di evasione verso paradisi tropicali. Il seducente gioco del rincorrersi immersi nella natura di un'isola, osservati unicamente dal sole e dal mare. Libero da vincoli stagionali o fasi predefinite della giornata. 8.3

Very beautiful fragrance so, I'm fall in love with Paradise Lost. Somehow very sexy and charming! I have a full bottle and wearing it in summer time (expecially when I go to beach). Tropical, sexy and really beautiful. Big thumbs up!

I would be ecstatic if heaven had this perfume! A powerful and carnal essence, crystal flowers everywhere. Oh my god, a truly paradise, I love it! One of the best perfumes by Keiko Mekeri.

I like this quite a lot, but it does a strange thing on me as its worn. It starts with cheerful, bright, citrusy, tropical tuberose. After the citrus notes wear off (quite quickly, as citrus notes obviously do), the tuberose seems to vanish as well. I'm left with quite an old-school vanilla and sandalwood oriental, which lasts for a very long time on me. Both the opening and the drydown are things I enjoy, but it feels almost jarring how different they feel from each other. However, it's very nice indeed on a warm summer day.
