Has this been done before? The market is saturated with white florals, many quite beautiful. But this is something special, perhaps The Queen of them all. I have two samples from two sample sets, and I really want a full bottle. I may need to wait for a special occasion and ask for it as a gift from my husband. Otherwise, I may have to go with the travel scent. I need it in my life!

At first spray from a sample I was like, wow, nice light floral. Very pleasant for a Spring day. The dry down, however, was a bummer and turned me off to wanting more of this scent. After a few hours, the scent reminded me of an old cedar hope chest with Gardenia potpourri inside. Sad, because I like Dusita's Erawan which has more complexity and yet it's familiar enough to this one to not need to try again with Melodie de l'Amour.

Like all Dusita fragrances, Melodie De L'Amour has such disappointing longevity that it is difficult to justify the price. I already own Splendiris and Erawan and really do love them, but here one minute, gone the next. MDLA is probably my favorite from the brand, not because it's revolutionary in any way, but simply because it is one of the most beautiful white floral's I have EVER worn. Still, it's a dilemma. It's an Extrait and the most expensive from the line, but performs only slightly better if at all. I may compromise and purchase the travel set, but I so desperately want a full bottle that I am positive that I will eventually bite the bullet and go for it. I just can not imagine not having it in my collection.

Surprisingly light for a gardenia-centered scent, this pretty thing comes with a hint of honey and peach that lasts well into the heart, where tuberose and cedar take up the banner and carry things along. The jasmine stays out of the way of (again) lighter notes such as muguet, which is all one could really ask of it, and any day now the drydown will conclude.

Just received my full bottle today! This is SO beautiful, maybe the most beautiful floral fragrance that I have ever smelled. After draining 2 samples I just had to get the bottle, It smells like a lush wedding bouquet and is just the most complex scent and has the most beautiful gardenia note ever. I have applied it about 3 times today, and it might not be the most long lasting. But I will buy another bottle when this is gone no matter the price! Beautiful..

Serious gardenia/tuberose. Extremely sweet, strong floral, very true, does not smell cheap, does not dry down to anything yucky. Excellent.

Just GORGEOUS! I received a sample of this and applied this morning. I am overwhelmed with the beauty of this floral scent and I cannot believe that I see other reviews saying that this is average in any way. It is so rich and complex and one can tell that there are many many facets to this fragrance. Definitely ordering a full bottle of this beauty.

The opening is airy, heady and beautiful, but soon turns very mothbally on my skin. In the dry down the jasmine notes are prominent and remind me of Hiram Green's Moon Bloom quite a bit, even in the absence of tuberose in Melodie or Gardenia in MB. I am not completely sold I am going to order a full bottle anytime soon.

This is a really lovely, classy floral. It reminds me of honeysuckle vines. I don't know if I would drop $350 on perfume, but definitely worth sampling.

It IS initially divine, but on me, that vague burnt rubber smell is a little more like mothballs, especially on the dry down. I still considered getting a FB, but every time I use some from my tester/sample, the results are the same: initial intoxication that eventually is overtaken by whiffs of mothballs. So sad because as others have noted, you can tell they used far richer ingredients than Van Cleef & Arpels, for example. Sigh...

This is a white fragrance, but I agree with the first review, it's been done before. I didn't get the "big" white floral experience, instead it morphed into more of a gardenia smell.

This a beautiful fragrance...It is not very special to me, in that it has been done before. This being said, for those who love big white florals this is IT...as it is classy and never dirty smelling..

So on the fence about this one, bought it as a blind purchase after reading some reviews. After the first spray all I get is a burnt rubber scent. As it fades I get the gardenia and cedar and then that burnt rubber smell. As it settles I get white flowers and that fungal gardenia scent I love and then it gets soft, almost a skin scent. I was expecting so much more from this one but i need to wear it a few more times to figure it out.

This is one of the most unique and exquisite fragrances I have ever inhaled. It is complex and divine and you can tell they used the most expensive components of capturing the intense fragrances of each flower (take van cleef & arpels's gardenia and multiply it by a million). I was going to apply my $20 coupon on this as it comes at a hefty price tag but my guy was sweet enough to pick this up for me in Zurich as a gift and now i can still afford to pay my rent :-) The perfumer, Ploi, is a gift to the industry. The daughter of a beloved Thai poet, her creations echo that poetry in the most tender yet intense way...This is a full bloom and heartachingly beautiful. I'm so glad she exists!

One of the most heavenly florals I have ever smelled. Sumptuous yet sheer, Sparklingly romantic. More than lives up to the hype, it surpasses it. Can't wait to get a full bottle.
