By the editors · 2 min readMelon opens with a sweet, aqueous fruitiness that is immediately tempered by basil and clary sage's herbal, aromatic greenness. Lavender and neroli form a classic aromatic heart, adding a clean, slightly powdery floral character that feels traditional and refined. Amber and musk in the base provide a warm, slightly sweet foundation that grounds the composition without heavy resinous depth. The dry-down is a balanced blend of aromatic herbs and soft musk that remains relatively linear after the top notes dissipate. Projection is moderate initially but becomes skin-close within two hours, suitable for daytime wear in spring or fall. This scent works well for casual or work occasions, offering a fresh, approachable aroma with average longevity.
