Life is never calm for long, whom amongst us doesn't deserve a vacation? As a kid I remember the Calgon commercial which featured a housewife that desperately needed a break from her chaotic home life. The woman in the ad spoke the magical words, “Calgon take me away” and voila she is transported into a soothing bubble bath .
Perfumes are my Calgon. No matter what may be going on in my life, a spritz or two of a beautiful scent will take me to another place.
It is no surprise that Keiko Mecheri’s two newest additions will ‘take you away’ to an exotic South Seas island -Isles Lointaines. Next stop Hawaii or the mysterious Comores Isles –Tuberose. (I was first introduced to 'Get Away' Parfums Keiko Mecheri in my first review for CafleureBon). Isles Lointaines and Tuberose are the two latest travelogues by Keiko Mecheri; these two new floral compositions are sensuality incarnate.
Isles Lointaines
Isles Lointaines is a tale of the South Pacific. I am reminded of the late1970's TV series Fantasy Island, and can almost hear “zeee plane zeee plane”. Upon my arrival, I am caressed by a warm breeze wafting gardenia and jasmine. After I have unpacked and changed into something comfortable, I roamed the beach and found a treasure; a piece of amber has washed up onto shore; a memorable tale of 'three white mistresses' on the beach.
Tuberose
Heady and intoxicating, this perfume evokes the leis first given to tourists as they arrive in Hawaii,( this rose that is not a rose but a species of lily). Tuberose is not just yet another soliflore, but something more spectacular. This scent is of a stunning woman … magnificent and alone. I take her hand. As the evening continues, (the jasmine notes bloom), we dance for hours. Sudddenly, I turn around and she has left my side; she is seducing another. I am left with the lasting memory of her scent still in the evening air, as she disappears into the night.
Keiko Mecheri, once again, took me away to faraway places. I look forward to many journeys traveling on “Air Mecheri’.
