   I’ve always been intrigued by her in photographs, she seems so chic, so it’s really cool to see and hear her talk.

   Unfortunately, I don’t have a sound card on this computer, so I can’t hear what she’s saying. She’s an elegant, striking looking women, clearly. I think some of her fragrances are well-crafted but I wish her line was more original. The names above sound like a cut-and-paste job with Serge and exclusive-type Dior names, and I find the scents often smell like that, too. Enjoy Gourmandises and (the apparently now defunct) Mogador, though.

     People have always said she’s copying Serge Lutens. With some of them it does seem that way.

   I know I’m a pedant blah blah blah, but the name ‘Datura Blanche’ is supposed to be in French, yes? Ah, but the word ‘datura’ is masculine in that language so ‘Datura Blanche’ is complete nonsense. Why does she think Serge Lutens called *his* fragrance Datura Noir – without an ‘e’ on the end?

   Maybe she, Miller Harris et al should be given dictionaries for Christmas.

   I’ve just been to her website. ‘Les Parfums Keiko Mecheri’, it says when you log on. If you’re going to be pretentious and have so much French on your site, you’d better check that it is correct, I think. ‘Les Parfums d’Interieurs’ is wrong too (no, not just b/c of the absence of an accent on the ‘e’), it should read ‘Les Parfums d’Intérieur’ – no ‘s’ on the end. ‘Les Orientales’ should also probably read ‘Les Orientaux’ (parfum is masculine), etc. etc. (no time to scour the whole website, but I’m sure I could find masses more).

   People who have no respect for language…. what else do they not care about? As far as I am concerned, they lose any credibility they might have had otherwise.

     I hope Datura Blanche isn’t a typo I’m copying over from Extrait.it — I can’t make out the name on the picture of the bottle for the life of me. They listed one of the others as “Iris Poupre” and I’m 99% sure that isn’t what it says on the bottle, so I just changed it to “Iris Pourpre”.

   I don’t know why, but the people wandering around in the background of this crack me up (I don’t get out much!), especially the woman at about 1:20 who retrieves her bag from its secret hiding place behind the curtain, and the man at 1:48-ish nonchalantly patting his thigh as he strolls towards the camera…

     That’s so funny — I didn’t even notice!
