Fragrance information:

Keiko Mecheri Gourmandises Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that feels like an invitation to a sweet journey through Eastern bazaars.

Launched in 2004, it has become an embodiment of refined femininity and gourmand temptation.

Created personally by Keiko Mecheri, this fragrance reflects her unique vision—a dialogue between Japanese aesthetics and Californian freedom.

Olfactory Pyramid

The Gourmandises composition unfolds like an exquisite dessert, intertwining praline, rose, and saffron.

Powdery notes add softness, while ambrette and cashmeran create a warm, enveloping base.

This is not merely a selection of ingredients, but a masterfully balanced accord that resonates like a sweet yet never cloying melody.

Character and Wearability

This women's fragrance belongs to the oriental and gourmand families.

Its moderate sillage makes it ideal for everyday wear, yet it is intriguing enough to become an evening accent.

Gourmandises is particularly lovely in cool weather, when its sweet and powdery notes feel warming and comforting.

About the Brand

Keiko Mecheri is a perfume house born at the intersection of cultures. Created by Keiko and her husband Kamel in Los Angeles, the brand combines Japanese minimalism with Western luxury.

Gourmandises is a striking example of this synthesis: its Eastern sweetness is presented in a transparent, almost airy form.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Gourmandises is an exquisite accord of praline, rose, and saffron, enveloped in powdery notes.

A warm base of ambrette and cashmeran makes the fragrance soft, sweet, and deeply sensual.

Despite the absence of a traditional top, heart, and base note structure, this blend unfolds harmoniously as a seamless whole.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

There's almost no sweetness on me, so it's hard to evaluate it as a gourmand fragrance. I don't smell praline; maybe it's hidden somewhere deep down, but there's too much amber here. There's essentially no development - you immediately feel the amber, so resinous and dense, with an iodized hint, and a rose hiding inside. It's not even a pink color, but more like rose oil. The fragrance is very long-lasting and memorable; it's atypical for me, but I remembered it, kept coming back to it, and eventually bought it

The fragrance is like a rose in amber, but the sweetness is only partially felt. It's quite dense and languid. It lasts long on the skin, and its development is simply amazing. For me, this is one of the best fragrances from this brand
