Meliora by Parfums de Marly pays homage to a mare who was the dam of the famous stallion Tartar, who in turn sired Herod. Meliora is therefore one of the greats in the impressive lineage of English thoroughbred horses.
Meliora has quite distinct top notes and neighs with delicate hints of raspberries and blackcurrants, seemingly bathed in glucose bliss. The heart reveals a fresh rose, ylang-ylang adds sweet notes and lily envelops the heart in a watery veil. The base is rock solid, underpinning the preceding scent festival with woods, vanilla and musk.
‘Meliora’ by Parfums de Marly presents itself as a mood enhancer, a fragrance with a cheerful disposition, and we are reminded of the happy trotting ‘Meliora’ in a paddock.
