Mei Mei — Vasilisa's Floral Story
Mei Mei is a women's fragrance from the Japanese brand Vasilisa / ヴァシリーサ, released in 2019.
These are solid perfumes with a distinctive floral-spicy character, where a juicy fruity opening gradually transitions into a delicate floral heart and a soft, sweet-musky base.
The Vasilisa brand was founded in Japan in 2013 and has developed a distinctive aesthetic of calm, contemplative perfumery.
Mei Mei conveys this mood beautifully: the composition sounds feminine and noticeable while retaining a sense of polish and light playfulness, making it easy to imagine the fragrance as part of an everyday look.
The Fragrance's Character and Scent Profile
Mei Mei opens with a juicy peach accord supported by pink pepper with a hint of red berries.
The fruity sweetness does not feel flat here: a spicy spark adds liveliness and makes the opening more dynamic. As it develops, the fragrance becomes softer, brighter and noticeably more floral.
The heart brings together jasmine, lily of the valley, peony and rose. This combination creates an airy bouquet with clean white-floral nuances, delicate peony freshness and a romantic rosy hue.
In the drydown, vanilla and musk appear, giving the composition a creamy roundness, a cozy feel and a lingering finish.
Sillage and Wearability
According to its positioning, Mei Mei has very strong sillage, so the fragrance can make a noticeable impression even when applied sparingly.
With solid perfumes, careful application is especially important: start with a small amount on your pulse points, then assess the intensity on your skin.
If desired, the fragrance can be applied to the wrists, neck or behind the ears, while avoiding excessive application.
Mei Mei will appeal to those who enjoy fruity-floral compositions with noticeable sweetness and expressive sillage.
It is suitable for a meeting, a walk, a date or a festive occasion, while its peachy-floral character feels especially comfortable in spring and in cool autumn weather.
In summer, it is better to use a minimal amount and apply the perfume mainly to the skin.
Note Pyramid and Perfume Accents
Mei Mei is described as featuring floral, fruity, gourmand, musky, spicy and white-floral notes. The fragrance's main olfactive families are floral and spicy.
This combination explains its layered character: a delicate bouquet is set against berry-and-peach juiciness, vanilla softness and musky depth.
The perfumer is not identified in the available information. No other concentrations are listed for Mei Mei either, so the solid perfume remains a standalone format for this release.
In terms of its overall mood, Bvlgari Rose Goldea may be worth exploring next: it may also appeal to fans of feminine rose-floral fragrances with a soft yet noticeable presence.
