Heart Notes
Broom · Honey · Jasmine · Orange Blossom · Orris
It begins with a burst of luminous hyacinth and mandarin orange, brightened by crisp juniper. The opening is fresh yet grounded, setting a tone of understated elegance that feels both welcoming and intriguingly complex.
The middle notes reveal the fragrance's true heart: a delicate interplay of broom, honey, and iris that blooms into creamy orange blossom and jasmine. This floral bouquet is built in the same style as the original, with orris adding a powdery softness that deepens the composition's warmth. The accords feel luxurious and composed, never overwhelming.
Vanilla forms the foundation, wrapping the fragrance in creamy comfort that lingers gracefully. With a moderate composed projection and 6–8 hours of longevity, Ilhan De Mel offers noticeable presence without demanding attention. It's versatile across all seasons, truly shining during warmer months when its honeyed florals and vanilla base feel most inviting.
