Meliora vs Tobacco Vanille

Meliora is viewed favorably by the r/fragrance community as a pleasant, fruity fragrance with an appealing and emotionally resonant character. However, it receives minimal discussion compared to other Parfums de Marly releases, and some perceive it as having lighter performance and less complexity than expected from a niche fragrance.

Tobacco Vanille is a highly polarizing fragrance that divides the community. Fans praise its warm vanilla sweetness and longevity, while detractors find the tobacco note too reminiscent of cigarette smoke, particularly if they grew up avoiding secondhand smoke. Performance and tolerance appear to have declined with reported reformulations.
