Meliora vs Lost Cherry

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.

Lost Cherry is widely praised as a beautiful, well-crafted cherry fragrance with excellent scent quality, but the community consensus is severely hampered by poor longevity and unjustifiable pricing. Most users recommend trying samples first, considering affordable dupes (Lovely Cherie, Not Another Cherry), or purchasing travel sizes rather than full bottles due to disappointing performance.
