The story behind the bottle.
Meliora by Parfums de Marly, crafted by Nathalie Lorson and launched in 2013, is a floral green fragrance that captures the essence of summer's bounty. The composition begins with bright bursts of black currant, red berries, and cassis, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. As these top notes settle, they give way to a heart of orange blossom, rose, lily-of-the-valley, and ylang-ylang, which add layers of sweetness and floral complexity. The base notes of musk, vanilla, woody accords, and almond ground the fragrance with warmth and depth, making it a harmonious blend of fruity freshness and sophisticated elegance.
Apply Meliora to pulse points for a warm embrace that lasts throughout the day. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so layering with the woody base can extend its longevity.
