Datte Opaline

It is a beautiful scent. It is so unique too. I have never come across a perfume that would smell exactly how sticky, rich, medjool dates taste like. It is supported with a dash of bright and sweet orange blossom and a blend of musk, vanilla and benzoin. Overall, it smells so cozy, like a *delicious warm hug*. Not too cloying or sickly, it's very gentle and well-balanced. It has a vibe of a posh 5-star hotel. Overall, this fragrance is my absolute favourite of this brand (their menthe enivrante is also great btw)

smells like a breezy summer afternoon on an ancient roman baddie's balcony

Mediterranean sweetness. Opening is spicysweet, you immediatly can pinpoint dattery accord + neroli (the good neroli used in Néroli Cuivré but here is less prominent, a little more subtle) paired with spices (pepper and cinnamon). Togheter they bring you in a mediterranean suq, with flavours that mix together and pile up one over the other. Very cool stuff here, it is sweet but not overwhelming, it is moving, evolving, till the sweet creamy musky drydown during which you can still smell the dattery, sugary, sweetness, like moving from the caos of the suq to the calm sunset of a city on a nord african shore. I must admit that I'm quite impressed by Mezel house, both this and Néroli Cuivré are very solid fragrances. Also good performance and decent sillage. Give me more Mezel things pls!

Oh my, what a truly lovely fragrance! This is a very smooth, well-made fragrance with a warm, gently sweet, spiced date profile and a subtle incense backbone. It feels rounded, polished, and thoughtfully blended, with nothing harsh or jarring at any stage. On my skin, it remains genuinely lovely and very wearable thoughout the entire journey - it feels really classy and very opulent! Definitely worth sampling if you enjoy smooth, spiced date gourmands — but I would caution not a safe blind buy, quite simply because of price point and the fact it is just a little different.
