What does Mellis smell like?

The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base. Honey, vanilla and amber set a sweet ground; cardamom and ginger add spice, while citrus notes bring some lift. Almond blossom, magnolia and rose carry the floral side, and sandalwood with oud adds woody depth, with a faint green edge behind it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it sits close to the skin and leaves a soft trail. Voters pick it most for evening and leisure, with night out and daily wear following. It shares a close profile with Dear Diary Sakura Blossoms in Curitiba and Paraphrase Gilded.
