Character and History of the Fragrance
Mutis Nueva Granada Melao is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 in an eau de parfum concentration.
The composition is part of the Aras collection by Mutis Nueva Granada, combining oriental depth with floral expressiveness and an appetizing gourmand warmth.
The name Melao seems to set the mood for the entire composition: the fragrance is rich, sweet and seductive, but it is not limited to a simple dessert accord.
It brings together spices, coffee and chocolate nuances, white flowers, and a resinous vanilla base, resulting in a layered and noticeable development.
The Pyramid and Development
At the opening, Melao captivates with an energetic combination of spicy cardamom, ginger, coffee and chocolate.
Lavender and neroli add a green freshness and a light aromatic facet to the opening, balancing the sweetness.
As the composition develops, it becomes softer and creamier: almond and crème brûlée merge with jasmine, tuberose, hibiscus and orange blossom.
The finish is built around warm balsamic and woody nuances.
Benzoin and labdanum give the fragrance density, vanilla reinforces its gourmand character, while patchouli adds depth and a subtle earthy shadow.
On the skin, the fragrance gradually turns into an expressive sweet-spicy trail in which the flowers do not disappear but become woven into the resinous vanilla foundation.
Who Melao Is For and When to Wear It
Melao was created for women and men who enjoy noticeable, rich and unconventional fragrances.
It is a choice for those who like a perfume to radiate around the wearer and leave a memorable impression.
The unisex character allows the composition to develop differently on the skin: on some people it may emphasize creamy sweetness and flowers, while on others it may highlight spices, coffee and patchouli.
The fragrance is described as having a very powerful trail, making Melao particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings, formal occasions and situations where you want to emphasize your individuality.
For the office and small enclosed spaces, it is best to use a minimal amount.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available information, so it is best to start with one spray and assess the intensity after a few minutes.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Manuel Attardi.
In Melao, his work is expressed through a contrasting structure: a vivid spicy-coffee opening gradually moves into a floral heart before settling on a warm balsamic base.
As a result, the fragrance feels less like linear sweetness and more like a fully developed oriental gourmand creation with a changeable character.
The release clearly reflects the direction of the Aras collection, where sensuality, decorative florals and deep, intense accords come together.
Melao may appeal to fragrance lovers who enjoy experimenting with the boundaries between feminine and masculine perfumery and appreciate an expressive, almost tangible trail.
