- Here are my thoughts on Parfums de Marly Meliora. Is it worth it for the 210 euro price tag?
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO SIGNORINA MISTERIOSA review: • Salvatore Ferragamo Si...
(My thoughts on this one has changed since this review. I LOVE it and own it now)
LALIQUE AMETHYST review: • Lalique - Amethyst Per...
When you take into account sillage and longevity, I think the de Marly line is worth it. They are all real powerhouses, or maybe I should say powerhorses to refer to the heritage of the house. The scent is not obnoxiously in your face, but two sprays and it still pleasantly lingers in my clothes a couple of days later. Not too many perfumes can do that.
Agree 1000%
I kinda agree with respect to D Exclusif but Meliora does not last too long on me, nor does Valaya, which is my favorite.
Thanks for your honest reviews as always. Meliora and Amethyst were both created by Nathalie Lorson. :)
I bought Meliora and I love it! I look forward to purchasing more from this house.
Thanks Arlene you awesome to share!!! You’ve smelled and know quite a lot❣️
I own both Meliora & Amethyst & they do have very similar opening only the Meliora evolves & the Amethyst almost stays the same till the end which is about 2 hours. Maybe you are right that Meliora is the baby from Amethyst & Sigorina Mysteriosa, though haven’t tried the Signorina. 😊
This one is my favorite in the line and on my wish list 💖I plan to get it soon 😍
It is an gorgeous fragrances and perfect for this time of the year!! But you have to be warned, it is the least lasting from all of their female fragrances unfortunately, maybe 4h and a bit more... Safanad is a beautyfull heavy on the orange blossom note fragrance, for the warmer weather more an evening scent gorgeous to! Meliora, Cassili, Delina and the Exclusif are probably the most appropriate for the summertime, and also the one with the white bottle and the golden cap, this one is more the "classy, rich lady in a white dress", but also the most appropriate for the warmer seasons.....
Great review Arlene! I tried this one a long time ago and at the time it reminded me of Armani Sì but that was several years ago. PdM are definitely derivative!
Yes it reminded me of si too 😅
Yes it reminded me of si too 😅
Thank you, love your video and this helped me! I've never owned any of them but I will try the Signorina at a fraction of the price! ❤❤❤
Hi Crystal. It's the Lalique Amethyst that I found quite similar to this one. 😊
Everyone waxes lyrical about this house personally I don't understand the hype sure they're nice that's it they definitely do NOT warrant the hefty price tag
I know they are expensive if you buy retail- that’s why Ebay is good. I got my Delina for about 152. I need to sell it though.. Because I don’t think I will ever like it.
Taylor by Taylor swift is a great alternative
I finally found a perfume shop in Germany which has niche perfume brands and had the chance to smell so many. Meliora was one of them. I find the berry note is only there in the opening, afterwards it goes clean on my skin, but I can not detect the berries anymore.😔 it's amazing and I will buy it nonetheless, I fell in love with it. But I'm kind of sad the berries don't last long.🙈
Try Rouge Trafalgar by Christian Dior.
Yeah, it totally smells like Amathyst...by the way, Notino Germany had the Lalique one for 18euros yesterday 😅
I bought Meliora and it's gorgeous but the performance is unbelievably disappointing, especially at that price point. I bought Amethyst for 20 dollars and got the same experience. I also agree with you about the house. They produce clone/hybrid fragrances, and with terrible performance. I almost bought Oajan also but decided to try Ambre Narguile by Hermes first. And unsurprisingly, it's a total dupe. I'm not falling for it anymore!
I got a tester of Delina Exclusive and I dare to say it reminded me of La Nuit Tresor 😳. The original Delina I haven't found a similar designer...
@@marisamountaki The OG Delina smells similar to Versace Dylan Blue for women minus the rhubarb note if I'm remembering correctly. It just smells like a typical shampoo peony/petalia fragrance with that horribly sour/tart rhubarb thing going on. VDB just smelled men to me, but I would take it over Delina any day.
So glad someone else notices how PdM is just a niche house duping designer fragrances. You mention that on some of these YT reviewers' channels and start a firestorm of controversy. Honestly, a lot of niche fragrances smell like designer releases to me, but with better materials so more 'upscale', but certainly not worth the price. I haven't found one PdM that I can tolerate except Percival and that's a dupe of Fierce or so I've heard LOL.
@@DarlingNikki2Be wary. You might get in trouble lol. There's a fan army out there!
Its similar to signorina mysteriousa, but better blended and higher quality. Lalique amathyst is such a washed out scent in comparisant. This is way way better in preformance and overall quality. Its worth the price!
👆🏽👏🏽👏🏽yessss
I don't understand the hype around Parfums de Marly, really. I mean from the ones I smelt, it's just MEH. they just take people for idiots and do clones of other perfumes and put a high price tag on it. That's how you start a niche brand nowadays lol
That's so not true, the quality is very good, with an designer fragrance you never would experience a oily film on your skin straight after putting on, and just bcs she and a view others are saying that they dont really like them, it doesn't mean that they are bad or something!! And that they reminds her on other fragrances... They are not their own category, every fragrance is in an particular category and i could say about every fragrance out there that it reminds me about a combo between others, same with all of her favourite niche and designer fragrances, there i also could say that they reminds me of others, and that i dont like them, but that doesn't mean that they are a bad quality!^^ In the community everybody who said it's not there taste, said that they are very well done, etc; and also here on yt, take a look to Demi Rawling, she have an exquisite taste and PdM is one of her favourite fragrance houses... Naja...
Ps Wich niche fragrances do you adore? That would be interesting now... I dont think you ever would,mor even could telling me that..........
Every single fragrance on the planet smells of some other fragrance, its just so many of them its impossible to create one that everyone agrees it doesnt remind them of any other. They all use the same notes, and the combination of those notes will sometimes match up with others. The scent might remind you of something, but the quality is excellent, they last a long time and have no chemical smell from cheap ingridients.
@@robertan.2491 Thank you!!;) You can express what i wanted to express before... Its pretty stupid to say that they arent a good quality, ok, Meliora is the only one the lasts not long (4h+), but it's also very well done, so... But this guy upstairs probably never smelled them and have no clue!;)
@@katharinanikol4206 Meliora is fruity, and all fruity fragrances dont last long, so that is not a reflection on the brand. But I have a sample of Delina, while the scent is not groundbreaking, it smells so natural and I smell it on my clothes until they go to the washer. :)
Interesting. I had been thinking about this perfume but since you compared it to the other two which I own, I’ll have to pass on this. I agree with a lot of their perfumes smelling like other cheaper fragrances.
you are the perfume encyclopaedia Arlene!! 😃 👍
Ok but is meliora better than the designer ones. Price point aside I want to smell the best quality.
I can't smell Meliora.I sprayed it on my arm and on the sleeve...and I can't pick up the smell...sadly,for that price I think I will pass for now. I'm planning on getting the whole collection and it's so hard to decide 😩
I love Lalique Amrthyst it’s only problem is it doesn’t last on me long. I’d love to try Melilla.
Thank you. I prefer the men’s perfume... Herod and Carlisle. most of the woman’s fragrance are two sweet for my taste and yes I would by the Lalique Amethyst instead. Really dislike Delina...😬 However Herod is fabulous.
That wasn’t as much of a review as it was a comparison to 2 perfumes that I’ve never smelled.
This wasn't so much of a comment, as it was a declaration of self importance.
@@manjuicexl3749 well shes right, the review was a comparison between two perfumes, she did not list the notes clearly or give a good description of the aroma, so for those who dont own the other two fragrances this review is useless.
@@robertan.2491 Wow like you're literally an army defending PDM. Crazy. And saying the review was useless. How nice!
@@quentinmathieu3039 useless for THOSE who do not have the other two fragrances she mentioned. Yes we defend something that gets hate with no real arguments behind it. If something is not for you or not your taste, that is all good, shop elsewhere. But trashing a brand the way you all do, I think you are the army full of unnecessary hate. The only thing I agree on is price is too high, the rest is just babble
To me this perfume smells almost like Ariana’s god is a woman fragrance but more luxurious. It doesn’t have pear in the notes but I could definitely smell juicy pear in it, it could be the berries
I got a sample of the PDM Meliora and don't care for it... I also just got the Lalique Amethyst Eclat and it's OK...I'm not in love with it so I am thinking of returning it to Fragrancenet. I also have a sample of PDM Delina and it's meh to me...Honestly I'm not impressed with those 2 scents from PDM and yes they remind me of other fragrances as well...Which means I won't waste money on PDM ever lolololol
What do you think about delina exclusif? want to blind buy it. Like gourmands, oud, florals,
I had never smelled oud before in a women's fragrance (and only once in a men's fragrance) and it horrified me in Delina Exclusif. Now, if you like oud, I say go for it because the opening is gorgeous, but I could not stand that horrific oud note in it (it also has that same terribly tart/sour rhubarb note from the original in it even though it's not listed).
@@DarlingNikki2 exclusif smells like montale intense cafe in the drydown but with oud. I also didn't like it. Too much rose and oud in the drydown. I liked the original delina a bit more, but I find cassili and meliora so much better.
Very good fragrance of this perfume you introduce i like it
I like Meliora but to price do I ordered Amethyst and I hope dat is olso so nice.
Fingers crossed! :)
I do not like Lalique Amethyst. I hope it doesn't smell too much like Amethyst.
My nose finds Meliora isn’t as strong as Amethyst but yes I find they are very similar
Carolyn Kettle I think I’ll pass on that one. I was interested in buying from a dupe house called Genre Parfums who really does dupes very very well as well as originals so I’ll just pass. Thank you!
The same person created Amethyst and Meliora.
All these people complaining about Parfums de Marly all of a sudden is hilarious. I see this all the time, one slightly less positive review comes out and everyone starts crapping too. Same with the opposite, if they hype something up, they go and blind buy a full bottle. Yes PDM is expensive and you can find perfumes that smell like others (all perfumes are this way, there is not an unlimited abundance of notes, all perfumers use the same ones so the combination will repeat sometimes). But if you've ever owned a PDM you can smell the quality, nothing synthetic or chemical, they use natural oils, and some of them last days on clothing. Meliora might not because it is fruity, but try others and see.
Meliora lasts on clothes 2-3 days, and on my skin i feel it even after taking the shower. I agree with you about being natural ...these perfumes smell natural. Yes, expencive, but worth it if you love the smell. I looooove MELIORA🤗
@@summertime9014 really? Wow that's awesome. It's amazing how much difference skin chemist can make. But I had the same experience with Delina. Lasts on skin all day, on clothes until they go to the washer. Most said Meliora lasts 4+ hours which to me is still good since I don't expect much from fruity fragrances.
😊
This time i totally disagree with you. Imo it doesn't smell the same with the 2 you mentioned. I own them also.
Ty 😘👍🥰
Hello, Ms. Arlene! Please check your inbox as I have emailed you about a personal concern I have that I don't want to bring up on this page directly.
Hi Nikki. I don't think I received it. Inbox doesnt have any new mails in it. ??
@@DeliciousDelights Hmm, I sent it before I commented. Subject line says Not a Business Inquiry. It might be in your junk folder. Let me know if you see it. :)
Got it. Just replied 🤗
I can't stand this perfume. I'm having a hard time eating while wearing it right now.
I'm so not on your page to this videos from Parfums de Marly! They are very good quality ones, and you cant say that a fragrance smells like a combo of that and that, or like any fragrance, bcs every fragrance you could compre to others, that's bcs of the notes and i also could say, that Amethyst smells like Meliora, so... For example i dont like Baccarat Rouge 540 (the Extrait is better for me, but not worth the money for me), but just bcs idont like it, i never would say it isn't worth the price point, and MFK is way more expensive than PdM....
