Subtly Missed
"Meloe" by Teo Cabanel is one of the lightest and most understated fragrances I've had under my nose in a long time...
The idea of a melon. The hint of a melon. The shadow of a melon. The thesis of a melon. Super simple, very monothematic, very quickly gone. If it was even there at all. Melon without melon. Flesh without spirit. Grassy and pleasing. Surely an okay companion on ultra-hot days. But it gives me too little. Very boring. Although never a stinky scent, quite the opposite. And achieving such neutrality and naturalness with a melon is no small feat. Still underwhelming.
Bottle: a highlight!
Sillage: extremely transparent and airy
Longevity: after just 4 hours, hardly anything is left to sense...
Conclusion: passive and light melon scents hardly come any lighter... Green, defensive, watery, barely there. Not unpleasant, but unexciting.
