Melipona by Nectar Olfactif is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Melipona was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Serge de Oliveira. Top note is Bourbon Vanilla; middle notes are Amber and Cashmere Wood; base notes are Vanilla Sugar, Amber and Musk. Vanilla comes from Mexico where the Aztecs used it to soften the bitterness of chocolate. There were numerous European attempts to cultivate pods outside their original cradle. Louis XIV fell in love with it and wanted to cultivate it on Bourbon Island, in Reunion. But all attempts under his reign failed. No one knew how to fertilize vanilla outside its native area. Europeans were unaware that the Mexican Melipona bee was responsible for pollination. Indeed, thanks to it, the orchid provides a long green fruit commonly called vanilla pod. Gourmet and suave, Melipona is a fragrance that opens elegantly with woody and vanilla notes and gives way to oriental and amber notes in the base.

Melipona by Nectar Olfactif is a polarizing vanilla fragrance that appeals primarily to experienced vanilla lovers seeking complexity over sweetness. While praised for its smoky, boozy character and burnt sugar opening, some find the rubber and tar notes off-putting, making it better suited for those with adventurous taste rather than casual vanilla seekers.
