by Keiko Mecheri
Peau de Peche by Keiko Mecheri is a refined, skin-close perfume that captures the delicate essence of white peach skin—fuzzy, fresh, and subtly sweet without the syrupy cloying quality of many gourmand peaches. It opens with a faintly tart, green peach note, quickly softening into a powdery, musky embrace enriched with sandalwood and a hint of iris. The fragrance feels intimate and minimalist, like a warm, clean breath on the skin or high-quality bath products—Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo meets a Japanese tea house. The sillage is minimal to moderate, and the wear is most comfortable during daylight hours, fading gently after a few hours. While some describe the longevity as lacking, most agree it’s consistent with a perceptive, elegant wear style—ideal for those seeking a quiet, modern sensibility rather than a bold statement. It stands out among other peach scents not for intensity, but for authenticity and restraint.
