Appearance and reality

A nice young lady, who tries to behave well, but in her heart she is still playful, a bit even childish. She sits upright and plays piano in the living room, but she would love to play outside, climb trees, eat wild fruits and pick flowers. But this is only an ulterior motive while she continues to play quietly.
A lovely fragrance. Personally, I like a little depth, a little maturity, sophistication. I have the feeling that this perfume tries to make it seem more than what it is real. It's nice and nice, entertaining for a while. For me it's on the borderline between neverche and mainstream
A bit too expensive for what it is.

Impressive spring-summer scent with excellent durability and unique scent composition

The freshness but also at the same time fruity and truly unique scent composition in combination with very good durability convinces me so much that I wear the scent myself, although it is a women's scent ;-)
but please do not tell anyone else ;-)
An innocent fragrance whose softness of rose and lily meets the fruity freshness of raspberry and blackcurrant, perfectly combining the delicate cocktail of fruit and flowers and enchanting with its romanticism. A really masterpiece fragrance and highly highly underrated Parfums of Parfums de Marly!

Seductive Currant

Parfums de Marly is a brand I like very much. I have already tested many of them. So far rather men's and unisex fragrances of this brand. This is the only ladies fragrance I've tested. I have tested this often by a small sample, which I have ordered from Notino. I simply like fruity-floral scents for ladies and give away such scents also gladly. I wouldn't give this away as most people don't appreciate expensive niche perfume anyway. If there are good scent twins to a scent, I'd rather strike. For this I will test the Lalique - Amethyst, which is also from this perfumer Nathalie Lorson and has a similar pyramid.

I tested this Meliora already a few months ago. A fragrance that remains in your memory and attracts positive attention. Of the fragrance type this fragrance fits to many ladies, because it has a great mixture of elegance, elegance and also sex appeal, but is not too provocative.
The fragrance is mainly a black currant fragrance. A note I love to smell on ladies. Also e.g. in Versaces Crystal Noir. This note is simply so fruity, fresh and berry with a very clean and cultivated touch. Also here this note convinces me and comes along very noble and high-quality. In addition to the fruity-berry opening, beautiful feminine floral notes come through. I don't smell an exact note, but this chord has a great sensual floral touch, which rounds off the currant even more feminine. The base is common with vanilla, wood and musk, but it retains its basic DNA. The base becomes very soft and completes this composition well.
All in all this composition is very harmonious and you like to smell it. A high-quality and noble creation, which fits to a cultivated exterior and to many occasions. Not a really heavy scent, but definitely a scent with which woman is perceived due to the good strong Sillage. Also the durability is remarkable but I expect that for this price as well.

I can only warmly recommend this fragrance to ladies. I find it a bit overpriced for over 150 Euros a 75ml but thrown out money it is definitely not. I'm curious about the amethyst test

Cleaning Product Dupe

This is super-strong on my skin, and how I wish I could enjoy it more. I received it in a box-lot and it wasn't what I was going for, so it became part of the collateral afterwards to check. I have worn it through 4 seasons, and it always remains the same, strong almost stifling, cold and hard to embrace. This is not a cuddly perfume by any means. One would think a fruity perfume with vanilla would hopefully be, but for my skin, sadly, it is not. Perhaps it is the combination of both cassis and black currant that is giving this more of an ammonia-like power scent. It is definitely heady and at times, over-whelming. Not a whiff of vanilla for balance, or even ylang-ylang is not showing. Imagine a cleaning product based in ammonia, wrapped in a berry scent for the masses with musk as an undercurrent. There you have it-Meliora. It lasts for hours upon hours and radiates wonderfully. Just not for me. Perfume behaves so differently on each individual.
