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 background. Vanilla originated in Mexico, where the Aztecs used it to soften the bitterness of chocolate. There were many European attempts to cultivate the pods outside of its original cradle. Louis XIV fell in love with it and wanted to cultivate it on Bourbon Island, in Réunion. But all attempts under his reign failed. No one knew how to fertilize vanilla outside its native range. Europeans were unaware that the Mexican bee Melipona was responsible for pollination. Indeed, thanks to it, the orchid provides a long, green fruit commonly called a vanilla pod.

Love this perfume. Have gotten compliments 2 hours after spraying it. Strong projection and sillage. Sweet vanilla sugar scent. Great customer service my order arrived quickly. Will buy again :)
What to say but wow this is the strongest thing I have ever worn. You literally will never find a setting to wear this fragrance. Coffee notes with a punch of maple syrup pancakes. One spray and the whole room filled with the scent. 3 showers and a gym session later and it is still there. Wife hates it but I don’t mind the smell it’s inviting and sweet.
But I could never wear this anywhere. Would be good as a room spray if you own a coffee shop but yes it is everything everyone says it is BEWARE!
