PowderyWhat does Melrose Freesia smell like?
The top notes are Granny Smith apple and rum, giving a green, fruity freshness at the start. In the heart, freesia, iris, jasmine and tiaré carry the floral character with a powdery softness. The base of cashmeran, toffee and muscone sweetens it and leaves a creamy finish. Spicy and synthetic touches stay in the background.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. It suits both men and women. Its profile is close to Penhaligon's Heartless Helen and Tesori d'Oriente Tiaré delle Indie.
