OUAI Melrose Place is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Linda Song. Melrose Place opens with Champagne Rosé, Red Fruits, Pink Pepper, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. OUAI's Melrose Place carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Melrose Place is the quintessential 'clean girl' scent, a popular but divisive fresh rose that many love for its shampoo-like quality, but just as many dismiss as unremarkable, fleeting, or even sour. It's a crowd-pleaser for some, a headache for others.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, fresh, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for office or casual wear, often described as a 'shampoo scent'. However, its generally poor longevity and intimate sillage mean it's not ideal for formal events or dates where you want a stronger presence. It's often recommended for post-shower or gym wear due to its fresh nature.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a fizzy pop of champagne rosé and bright lychee, Melrose Place quickly blossoms into a fresh, dewy rose. Pink pepper adds a subtle sparkle, while peony and jasmine bolster the clean floral heart. It settles into a soft, musky cedar and amber base, reminiscent of a luxurious 'just out of the shower' feeling.
