Meliora is much fruitier off the top, mostly a sweet (not cloying), juicy blackcurrant and raspberry. I don't get any citrus. Then, once it dries down, it's a lily of the valley, lightly musky floral that sits close to the skin. This is beautiful and unique, but not too intrusive, so this could definitely fare well in basically any environment. I do wish it lasted a little longer and I will always have beef with PDM's pink tax, but that's why you always buy secondhand. ;)

This is my go-to going out scent, or on days where I want to smell like the best drink at the party. The blackberry is so clear in this and it's sweet and bright, and the champagne scent is there without the edge of alcohol. This really smells fizzy which blows my mind. My friends comment on this one every time I wear it, whether it's for girlies-do-tapas time or for a bar adventure. This would be great for any cocktail-attire function, for sure.

Sundazed is my signature scent. I get that Parfumo bases notes off the "official" notes from the brand, but this is a beautiful cotton candy and citrus fragrance. It is sweet, airy, and gorgeous, plus longevity on clothes is amazing. Skin, too, but clothes always amazes me here. This is such an easy wear and every time I wear it, it brings me comfort, but also right back to standing at a carnival with a big bunch of cotton candy in one hand and a coke in the other. For the people who love the sweet scents like Paradoxe or Candy, I firmly think this is a must-try. Honestly, I'd go as far to say this is a relatively safe blind buy for how accessible but also unique it is, especially within the Byredo line. So sad they've discontinued this. Breaks my heart. Glad I've got back up bottles!

The name is accurate to the scent. On dry down, I do get a bit of that carrot note which is unique and pleasant. It's a bit floral, a bit musky, and a bit "amberish" without being an amber fragrance - to me it just has that depth. This is an easy wear and I've enjoyed my test wears of it. A fun one for summers/days that are too hot for a heavier perfume.

This is crazy for a body/hair mist. This is easily the best release from this line and it's not even close, this is just amazing and so compatible with a whole variety of different scents (fruity, floral, mineralic/salty, vanilla, etc.). It has that salty essence and smells like figs shrouded in white florals. It's gorgeous and I have used way more of my bottle than anticipated for having only had this for ~1.5-2 months. LOVE this and highly recommend it.
