With "Meliora" by Parfums de Marly, homage was paid to a mare who was the mother of the famous stallion Tartar, who in turn fathered Herod. Meliora is therefore one of the greats in the impressive ancestry of English thoroughbred horses.

"Meliora" has quite clear top notes and neighs with fine notes that come from raspberries and blackcurrants, seemingly bathed in glucose glory. In the heart there is a fresh rose, ylang-ylang adds sweet notes and the lily covers the heart with a watery veil. The base is rock solid and underpins the previous fragrance festival with woods, vanilla and musk.

“Meliora” by Parfums de Marly presents itself as a mood enhancer, a fragrance with a cheerful spirit, and we are reminded of “Meliora” happily trotting in a paddock.
