The review
On paper, Melior is a strong bet if you want Meliora for less.
The Dua Brand 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.
At $55 it costs 82% less than Meliora.
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 The Dua Brand 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
The original opens on plum and bergamot, turns to tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, musk and sandalwood. That is the brief Melior is working from.
Top
- plum
- bergamot
Heart
- tuberose
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- sandalwood
Juicy plum meets creamy tuberose and jasmine for a lush, feminine floral.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
