Téo Cabanel Meloe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Jean-François Latty. Meloe opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Neroli, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Amber. Téo Cabanel's Meloe carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This 'barely there' freshie divides opinion: some find its subtle, clean citrus charmingly understated, while others lament its fleeting nature and lack of distinctive character, especially for the price.

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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its clean, understated profile and moderate performance make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, especially in warm weather. However, its lack of projection and 'barely there' quality means it's generally unsuitable for dates or formal events where more presence is desired.

About

Meloe opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon, bergamot, and mandarin, uplifted by a subtle hint of basil and a whisper of clean lavender. The heart then unfurls with delicate neroli and orange blossom, kissed by a touch of warm nutmeg, before settling into a soft, airy base of woody notes, musk, and amber, creating a gentle, sun-drenched feel.
