Why We Carry This

Meliora is the quietest fragrance in the Parfums de Marly women's range, and that quietness is the point. The iris-heliotrope-ambrette combination rewards proximity and wears with an intimacy that the louder releases in the catalog cannot match.

Character

Accords: Floral, Sweet, Amber, Fruity, Powdery, Warm Spicy

Launched: 2013

Pink pepper and bergamot open Meliora with a spiced brightness that lemon keeps from turning entirely warm. Iris and heliotrope in the heart produce a powdery, slightly floral quality that rose deepens without overcomplicating. Ambrette and sandalwood in the base give the finish a skin-close warmth, amber extending the softness through the late hours. The whole composition stays close and considered rather than projecting.
