Our take

Meow opens fruity and bright, pear and tangerine over gardenia and jasmine, before honeysuckle and African orange flower push it toward a full white floral heart. Both white flowers stay sweet and light, keeping the opening cheerful rather than heavy. The whole opening moves quickly, the fruit fading within the first stretch as the florals take the lead. It keeps close to the skin, picked up mainly if someone leans in near your neck.

Lily-of-the-valley keeps a green, dewy thread running through the middle, so the sweetness never turns purely tropical, and the citrus from the top lingers a touch longer than expected, brightening even the floral stretch. Vanille, amber, musk and sandalwood settle it into something warmer and softer by the base, more powdery than sticky, with the amber giving it a gentle, skin-warm finish.

On skin, Meow is clearly there through the first part of the wear, then thins out gradually over the rest of it, never demanding much attention once it settles. Spring is when it works best, worn during the day, built around cheerful fruit and white flowers, a fragrance suited to easy, unfussy wear, nothing more serious than that.
