Meliora bursts with black-currant, raspberry and lemon zest, blooms into rose, lily-of-the-valley and ylang-ylang, then settles on creamy vanilla, musk and a hint of cedar. An airy fruity-floral eau de parfum that lasts 7 hours+. Free express shipping from City Perfume.
Fragrance story
Light, bright and effortlessly elegant, Meliora opens with the crisp bite of black-currant berries, tangy raspberry and a splash of Sicilian lemon. Moments later a gentle bouquet of rose petals, lily-of-the-valley and sun-kissed ylang-ylang unfolds, lending powder-soft femininity without heaviness. The dry-down wraps everything in a sheer veil of Madagascan vanilla, clean white musk and a trace of cedarwood, leaving a sophisticated aura that feels like fresh silk against warm skin.
