No. 11 in our chart Melipona
When I first heard about Melipona Nectar Olfactif, I was intrigued by the promise of a sweet, oriental gourmand fragrance that could be worn by anyone. I was especially drawn to its honey-inspired name, expecting a scent that would envelop me in rich, natural sweetness. So, I decided to give it a try, and from the very first spritz, I could tell I was in for a delightful experience that would appeal to anyone who loves indulgent, dessert-like fragrances.
A Honeyed Treasure
The packaging of this perfume is a perfect reflection of what’s inside. The bottle’s rich honey color immediately caught my eye, and the cap, resembling a honeycomb, adds a beautiful touch. The intricate drawing of a bee, flower, and leaves decorates the front, adding to the natural, elegant vibe. It feels wonderful in my hands, with a scent that’s easy to spray. The whole presentation makes me think of a luxurious treat waiting to be enjoyed.
A Symphony of Sweetness
It is truly a unisex fragrance, with notes that balance sweetness and warmth perfectly. The top note of Bourbon vanilla hits first, giving an immediate sugary sweetness. As it settles, the middle notes of amber and cashmere wood add a creamy richness that I love. On my skin, the vanilla sugar and musk base become more pronounced as it dries, lasting a full seven hours. It’s one of those fragrances I can wear all year round, whether I want to feel cozy in the winter or add a touch of sweetness to a summer day. The bourbon note stands out, which I appreciate, as it creates a more balanced sweetness that feels mature and comforting.
Sugary Dreams: A Scent that Feels Like Home
Whenever I wear it, I’m instantly reminded of a freshly baked cake. That makes me think of confectioner’s sugar dusted on top of a warm, buttery dessert. It’s a fragrance that brings me comfort, evoking memories of special celebrations and cozy moments spent with loved ones over sweet treats.
This perfume reminds me of Tihota Indult and Vaniglia Mazzolari
This is a fragrance I’ve fallen in love with. Its sweet vanilla and bourbon balance perfectly, creating a scent that’s rich, inviting, and absolutely delicious. If you’re someone who enjoys gourmand fragrances with a creamy, comforting twist, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
Natalie's Professional judgment
My experience with Melipona Olfactif has been both intriguing and somewhat surprising. From the first spritz, the Bourbon note feels much stronger than the vanilla, creating a rich, warm opening. I especially enjoy the intermediate stage when the vanilla comes through after the initial burst of bourbon. The dry down is, surprisingly, the best part—vanilla truly shines here with its smooth, creamy character standing out beautifully.
However, after testing it several times, I found the performance somewhat lacking. It sits close to the skin after the first minutes and disappears after a couple of hours. While the scent is incredibly pleasant, I wish the projection had been a bit stronger. That said, it’s easy to refresh the fragrance after a few hours, allowing you to continue enjoying its cozy warmth.
The sweet vanilla blends effortlessly with warm amber, which adds a honeyed depth without becoming too cloying. The balance of sweetness and warmth makes this perfume an inviting, joyful scent, even if it requires a little reapplication for lasting enjoyment.
