ABOUT

Melissa flower smells like a delicate lemony-herb accord — a soft, honeyed white-floral wrapped in green, slightly minty leaves with a subtle tea-like warmth — evoking an herb garden at sunrise and calming, uplifting herbal infusions. Perfumers use it as a brightening top-to-heart bridge or gentle heart note to add fresh citrus lift and herbal-floral complexity in colognes, fougères, green florals and chypres, often blended with bergamot, lavender, rose, jasmine, geranium, oakmoss and woods to soften edges and lend a natural, restorative clarity.
