Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meliora
A radiant burst of berries and lemon over a dewy floral heart, Meliora is the definition of effortless feminine charm. Its airy, joyful character makes it a go-to for spring days, brunches, or any moment you want to feel sparkling and pretty.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pursuit
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Meliora - a fruity fragrance led by Black Currant, Black Currant, Red Berries, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Meliora

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Meliora's bright berries, lemon, and transparent florals make it a quintessential spring and summer scent, evoking fresh blooms and juicy fruits. Its lighter base and airy musk suit warmer weather, while the lack of heavy woods or spices makes it less fitting for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and refreshing, non-intrusive character make Meliora versatile for office and casual wear, while the romantic fruit-floral heart shines on dates. The light, elegant sillage is less suited for athletic or very formal occasions.

Pursuit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The fruity character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its fruity, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
