I really enjoy the soft vanilla/almond powdery drydown. It’s like a delicate lace vanilla veil. It’s the opening that I just can’t get past. It’s very sharp, too green and bitter, I get punched in the nose when I spray it, it’s almost suffocating for me. It’s a surprising shame because the dry down is simply divine and lightly scrumptious. The opening eventually fades away, but for me it’s too much.

It is a really beautiful fragrance. Pleasantly sweet, calming, very special, not every day fragrance, more for special occasions. It smells like a fairy tale. The datura and the almond smells very milky together. This is a very tasteful fragrance. I love it.

An oriental gourmand – Sweet almond vanilla and a striking floral datura in the background.
An absolutely intoxicating scent to me.
You may initially think this scent is for the shy lady who turns away as she blushes. But as the fragrance developers you realize the naughty smile comes through and the shy lady isn’t as shy as you originally thought.
There is definitely something extra in this perfume that sets it apart from other sweet vanilla fragrances, and I believe it to be the beautiful Datura floral.
I will cherish the sample I have and have added this to my want list already. Full bottle worthy in my opinion for its uniqueness and great longevity.

This is an perfect winter scent, especially before Christmas.
I sense lots of vanilla, almond, tonka bean and datura of course.
It’s one of the interesting warm scents, it’s not overly sweet. There’s spicy notes and very mild sweetness, it’s a great composition.
Molyan – :
Very different.
Top is sweet and a little citrusy. Doesn’t smell like anything else I have encountered. After an hour I get the myrrh, which I am not so thrilled about. I would say this is more floriental than floral.
Romaxa – :
This is much smoother than Hypnotic Poison. It is also slightly gourmand and almost edible. Absolute perfection!

This scent was a surprise for me. I love almonds so was drawn to it, but it has become a bit of a unicorn. I get the almonds, yes, but the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. There is some type of magical bittersweet nostalgia in this scent. I smell it and get a strange aching in my heart. It reminds me of so many beautiful things in my past, particularly a special man who I have been drawn to time and time again. While this is not a scent that raised its hand and started jumping yelling “me! me! pick me!” it is a gorgeous mind-bender sitting in the back row with a knowing smile, holding all the answers. A must have for me.

I get the comparisons to Hypnotic Poison. The main difference lies in the bitter twist lent to this fragrance by myrrh.
Keiko Mecheri has taken this fragrance in a more floral direction whereas HP is a pretty true Oriental vanilla. Still an evening scent, and perhaps even sexy, but much more sober and serious.
The opening to my nose errs a bit harsh. The myrrh is super intense. Bitter, almost soapy. In the drydown this scent becomes heliotrope dominant though the myrrh is still present.
Gaina – :
datura in this makes vanilla and almond seductive ummm so sexy

This is sooooo yummy! I felt like a marshmallow, but that is not to imply that Datura Blanche is overly foody smelling. I have never smelled real datura so I can’t comment on how close this gets, but there was plenty of vanilla-almond combination to make me snuggly on a winter afternoon, with heliotrope keeping things classy and expensive smelling. It is very light, definitely a cozy fragrance to wear when you hope to be very close to someone. Not sure if I would buy a full bottle…I will have to order another sample when the weather gets warmer and see how it fares in a different season. It’s so soft and pretty, far more unique than other vanilla scents.

None of that nasty coconut to imply Datura or make up for the lack of it. This is Datura with an amazing counterpoint of a dusky, dark heliotrope that also serves to **enhance** the Dat. Almond faintly provides woody suggestion without a the usual sickeningly sweet cherry-like gourmand quality. Quite honestly, I don’t get the “Blanche” at all, or the tuberose. This is Datura on a black moonless night that warms the cool air with a steady sensual emission that persists and lingers until submission is achieved. I am not a lover of white florals, but this is a must have for my wardrobe.

Almost a copy of Hypnotic Poison.

Keiko Mecheri DATURA BLANCHE is a truly scrumptious and voluptuous oriental perfume. I am reminded very much of Dior HYPNOTIC POISON, except that the Playdoh and rootbeer aspects of that perfume are not so marked here. I’m afraid that I still do not know what datura smells like–I certainly could not pick it out of a line-up of flowers! Chez Serge, datura was overwhelmed by tuberose; chez Keiko, I’m smelling mainly almonds and heliotrope.
This creation is going to be loved by anyone who loves HYPNOTIC POISON, but also some of those who find that one to be a bit too much. DATURA BLANCHE seems more refined and less pushy to me. But it is definitely a cold weather perfume, as this is a sweet, strong oriental leaning even a bit toward the gourmand side. I’d say that overall DATURA BLANCHE is a nice compromise between the sweetness of the loukhoum trio and some of the other floriental perfumes of this house.
I would love to have a bottle of this creation for wintertime. I’m sure that it would waft beautifully as it heats up on the skin under a sweater. The concentration is definitely eau de parfum, not eau de toilette: this a potent, enticing elixir!

The plastic cap it’s just cheap, too bad because the whole design is awesome, and for its price it shouldn’t have be in plastic!

Datura Blanche is twin sisters of Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle..at least on me..:)
I can detect just faint differences between them,but both deep, sweet, hypnotic and very alluring fragrance.
Soft, almost gourmand floral(heliotrope and tuberose) with velvety vanilla-tonka base.In the base no edges just smoothly blended notes(tonka, almond, vanilla and tuberose)- they are become one with me.
Mesmerizing, moderately refined fragrance, just wrap you to an invisible sensual cloud.

Have you ever looked at a cake and thought, ‘that looks much too sweet, i’d hate it’, yet after taking a bite, you thought ‘Wow’!
So what do you think about heliotrope and almonds? This has been done so many times before, but here we have a zingy, almost tantric, floral. I don’t know why, but I picture a warm, fur coat with nothing worn underneath. This has two completely different vibes going on, and it works.
The dry down, as you read below, does get saccharine, so use a light hand when applying. It’s the halo you’re after; it’s mmm… yummy.

I love Serge Luten’s Datura Noir and was hoping for its complement in this.
It is nice, sweet, feminine, but doesn’t really have the oomph I was looking for.
mals_as – :
I love it! This is a beautiful scent. It’s difficult for me to describe, for some reason, but I will try:
very soft vanilla (but not too sweet), touch of powder, and a little floral (heliotrope). It’s mysterious, feminine and intoxicating to me. Not your typical, in-your-face, vanilla scent at at all. I have smelled many vanilla scents over the years and I can’t compare this to any of them- it’s unique.
I will say that it doesn’t really smell like night-blooming Angel’s Trumpet that I expected to smell. I have them growing in my yard and they have an indescribable scent- sort of marshmallow and soft lemon-lime. They are intoxicating (literally)! But it does capture their essence- the feeling you get when you smell them.
The only con for this perfume- it should last longer considering how expensive it is.
beliy-2007 – :
Hmmm- I’m trying to decide if I like this or not…
One thing’s for sure-I agree with njdeb- this fragrance is s w e e t! It is so strongly vanilla that, from beginning to end, all I really smell is vanilla sugar! It is like an amped-up Coty Vanilla Fields-
Potency and longevity are pretty awesome- this “angel’s trumpet” of a fragrance should be “heard” for miles and miles…
altestCooli – :
This is pretty. Warm and lightly sweet – but not sugar sweet – sweet like a heavy blossom in its prime. Very feminine, a little breezy…and can a fragrance be subtle and dizzying at the same time? There is something “hot climate like” in this scent – like sitting under a blooming tree, sipping a heady cocktail and watching the velvety evening sun playing on your skin. A little powdery, Datura Blanche is relaxed, yet quite seductive. Unfortunately the drydown – I agree with njdeb – is sort of generic vanilla-ish scent. Still – a likable fragrance!
wahtamnhoro – :
Initially a sweet, light and airy floral. I’ve never smelled a datura flower, but the floral smell I get here reminds me of a combination of ylang ylang and frangipani. I think it’s the heliotrpoe that adds the powderiness I also find in this perfume. After a few minutes a nice creamy vanilla aroma emerges to mix with the florals.
Unfortunately, I find the final drydown to be pretty much just vanilla ice cream and powdered sugar. The florals really fade into the background and this becomes a not very original powdery gourmand scent that I know I have smelled somewhere before (just can’t remember what it was).
Another Keiko Mecheri that I just tried, Loukhoum Eau Poudre, is also a powdery and foody perfume, but IMO is more interesting and distinctive than Datura Blanche.
