Narcissus Mellier Co., that first saw the light of day in 1935, is positioned as a feminine fragrance, belonging to the floral family.
Country of origin — the United States. Narcissus Mellier Co. unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Narcissus is built as a layered story, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Mellier Co. is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Floral without random overlap. The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a lush white floral mood: Narcissus. In this format 1 note works as one voice, forming floral tenderness that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The heart and base are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Whiteflower and Floral. From a family perspective the composition sits in Floral.
Taken together Narcissus reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
