The review
Strong contender. That is where Pursuit lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Meliora.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Meliora's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $114 per 100ml it costs 56% less than Meliora — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: plum and bergamot up top, tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle, vanilla, musk and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Meliora.

Heart

Juicy plum meets creamy tuberose and jasmine for a lush, feminine floral.
