Parfums De Marly Meliora

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, gentle warm spice, rounder and quieter than cinnamon.

It opens on black currant, red berries and cassis, moves through rose, lily-of-the-valley and ylang-ylang, and settles on musk and vanilla.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• red berries: a general tart-berry impression rather than any one fruit

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
