Meligunis

Meligunis by the Italian house Eolie Parfums, released in 2014, is a bright citrus floral with a tobacco undertone, positioned as a masculine fragrance. Everyone who describes it calls it floral; most also find it citrusy, and a minority notice musky or aromatic sides.

Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot give a sunny, sharp Mediterranean opening. The heart is floral: Egyptian jasmine brings a rich, heady sweetness, Turkish rose a deep, slightly jammy warmth, and peony a fresh, dewy lightness that keeps the bouquet from feeling heavy. Tobacco runs underneath with a dry, leafy, faintly honeyed warmth that gives the scent its masculine lean, and musk softens the drydown.

Meligunis suits spring and summer and daytime wear, though the tobacco gives it enough depth for a mild evening. It will appeal to someone who likes citrus scents with a generous floral heart rather than a purely fresh one.
