Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

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