Nectar Olfactif Melipona is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Serge de Oliveira. Melipona opens with Vanilla, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood and Amber, and dries down to a base of Musk. Nectar Olfactif's Melipona carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a beautifully smooth, airy vanilla that sadly suffers from performance issues despite its alluring qualities. Many find it too fleeting, likening it to expensive flavoured water, so sample before committing - especially at this price point.

About

Melipona opens with a soft, inviting vanilla, soon joined by a subtle cashmere wood that adds a delicate, almost ethereal quality. As it settles, a warm, powdery amber emerges, blending seamlessly with a persistent, creamy vanilla and hints of clean musk. The overall effect is a luxurious, gently sweet embrace.
