Datura Blanche

Datura Blanche by Keiko Mecheri, released in 2009, is a sweet almond and white flower scent for women. Sweetness is what everyone picks up; around four in ten also describe it as floral, and a minority notice musky and resinous sides.

Almond and bitter almond lead, the first sweet and marzipan-like, the second sharper and slightly cherry-like, and heliotrope deepens the almond idea with its powdery, vanilla-tinged softness. Datura is the named flower, a heady, slightly narcotic white bloom, and tuberose and Indian tuberose add a creamy, lush richness beside it. The base is vanilla and Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean for a hay-like sweetness, and myrrh for a dry, faintly bitter resin that keeps the whole thing from becoming pure confectionery.

It reads as a soft, powdery, evening-leaning scent for someone who likes almond and tuberose together and wants a fragrance that feels warm and slightly old-fashioned, in the vein of a well-made pastry shop.
