Mother of the famous stallion Tartar, the brood mare Meliora gets her own tribute in this ravishingly mouthwatering, stunningly natural-feeling fruity floral from Parfums de Marly. Meliora opens with a delightful burst of fruits, blackcurrant, raspberry and a red fruits accord, juicy-sweet but not at all artificial or cloying. In the heart, luscious rose blends with sweet ylang and green lily for a fresh, natural feminine core, while a woody, musky vanilla base lingers in the air for hours to come. Gorgeous, restrained and full of life, Meliora is a fragrance worthy of its name.
