What does Melancolia smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling the room. Most voters pick leisure, business and daily wear, with evening and night out further behind. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, in line with its unisex build.

Mint, lemon grass and laurel set the fresh, green side of the scent. Cardamom and ginger add a spicy warmth, while musk softens the whole. Alongside the citrus and green accords sits a fruity, sweet tone, balanced by a woody base.
