What does Melipona smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without overwhelming the room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring and summer well behind. It wears easily for leisure, daily use and evenings out. Half of those who voted read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.
Bourbon vanilla sets the sweetness straight away. In the heart, amber and cashmere wood give the scent a woody frame. The base settles into crystal amber, vanilla sugar and musk, keeping the gourmand sweetness soft, creamy and powdery, with spicy and synthetic touches in the background.
