French fine fragrance house, Perfume De Marly revives the spirit of lavish receptions and festivities held in the Château de Marly, for the delight of members of the Royal Court and foreign dignitaries. Through its original concept, the label rekindles the spirit of scents from the splendour of the XVIIIth century, when premium perfumes were created for King Louis XV as a tribute of the prestigious horse races he fervently admired. Meliora is named after a mare that was honoured as the mother of the famous stallion, Herod. The significant top notes express the unmistakable raspberries and blackcurrants of the countryside, while in the heat, a floral bouquet of fresh roses, lily and ylang ylang take over. The strong base note combines with woods, musk and vanilla for an intoxicating end to this covetable fragrance.
