Mei (2005)
by Alfred Sung

Almost everything in this fragrance is floral or floral related. In the pyramid, the only non floral listed is musk. Mei certainly does smell like a bouquet of flowers, and it’s too difficult to separate out the individual floral notes. It’s actually a very pleasant fragrance, but there isn’t much substance to it. Florals can’t carry a fragrance without support, so it’s not surprising that I think it lacks complexity and depth. It’s more like a feminine cologne splash, and yet it lasts a little longer than most of those. The concept of Mei is interesting so those who like florals might find it worth sampling.
