    Based on his review, it seems like closed vibe with Xerjoff Erba Pura or Erba Gold, which I already have and I’m in love with those perfume. Can’t wait smell Navitus parfum Melon Kiss.

  • BeckaBella3 says:

    Have yet to try anything from Navitus Parfums but this release is the first one that has finally peeked my curiosity and interest! Steven described it as a smooth, juicy and elegantly done take on melon. He mentioned it’s very unique and something totally different on the market which is refreshing to hear. I am imagining a tropical vacation scent profile vibe done in a beautifully elegant way that doesn’t require you to actually be on vacation but transports you by scent alone 😉 Greetings from California

  • Bruno Panizo says:

    Every note of the fragrance sounds absolutely amazing, I hope I win it’ll be an excellent addition yo my collection!

  • Ricardo G says:

    I haven’t tried Navitus yet, but Steven’s video sold me when he described Melon Kiss has a unique blend with good longevity. I’m convinced this will one will my next blind buy. Instagram: rickyseinfeld

  • LATONYA GIPSON-BOWMAN says:

    Bertrand Duchaufour, has created another masterpiece that I would love to have in my collection. The video and article made me want this fragrance even more.
    Thank you for the opportunity

  • Lucinda Wentworth says:

    I need more fruity sexy fragrances in my life!!! Melon is a great choice and not uses enough!

  • jlsteckley says:

    A creamy fresh melon!!! This review and Steven’s video make this sound so awesome. I’m praying to the fragrance gods to win this one!

  • Jose R says:

    In my opinion the review could have been better felt rushed. Could have gone over the ingredients more especially the coconut milk yummy!

  • Rahim Thomas says:

    Steven’s review is good as always, very descriptive, great presentation. I don’t currently own any Nativus parfums, yet but I’m looking forward to owning 1 in the near future.

  • Ramses Perez says:

    I’m very familiar with Navitus and I own Aweigh (which smells like a straight up piña colada, perfect for the summer). This new creation looks very original as I cannot think of any other fragrances that have a melon note. The ombré style of the bottle is also a nice touch and the yellow/green coloration give way to summer days. The coconut milk giving it a creamy touch is also making me gravitate towards it as I love creamy summer fragrances. I follow cafleurebonofficial on IG and my username is Ramses.d.perez. Cheers from USA.

  • Greg Graham Sr says:

    I have had several Navitus Fragrances but this sounds like me! Great job as usual on the first impressions Steven and I can tell he was excited about it as well .Thank you Cafleurebon and Navitus for your generosity. I would love to have this one.

  • nurse.princess says:

    Watching Steven’s review made me feel like I could just taste the melon. It made me thirst for the perfume lol. I don’t own any Navitus parfums yet but I have a sample box that has a few parfums I’m interested in. Fingers crossed for the giveaway. This fragrance sounds beautiful

  • BODACIOUS777 says:

    I cannot wait to experience this one. The smell of melons remind me of my times spending the summers with my grandparents. I would eat cantaloupe and honeydew every morning and lunch with my grandma, good memories. The notes make me think of Amongst Waves Gallagher Fragrances, and Ani X Nishane.

  • ChandraCox2015 says:

    I have yet to try anything from the house of Navitus but I am very intrigued by this new fragrance. The melon note immediately drew my attention as I do not own a single fragrance with a melon note! I would love to add it to my collection. Thank you for the giveaway! Best of luck, everyone.

  • ChandraCox2015 says:

    I just left a comment but forgot to include my Instagram handle. It is: @thegrimmreaderr

  • Z R says:

    I haven’t been lucky enough to sniff another Navitus perfume, but this sounds delightful. I like Steven’s description of the romantic kiss of melon. I’m in the USA.

  • Minamean says:

    The Redolessence review describing something tropical and gourmand, but not too cloying, has me intrigued. It sounds perfect for Summers here in Miami.

  • Yolanda Ramirez says:

    This is exactly what I’ve been searching for in a fragrance as far as how Steven described it. Something sweet and playful, yet flirty and sophisticated. Can’t wait to get my nose on it, the notes sound beautiful. Great review as always!

  • Mike says:

    I would absolutely love this fragrance. The bite breakdown sounds amazing. I really hope to win this. Thanks for the opportunity.

  • Scott says:

    Great video Steven. Very informative, and I love your description of this must smell scent. My current favorite Navitus fragrance is Raised Spirits. @scott.sirchio

  • Gavin says:

    I’m anticipating to give this a go and add to my collection. Your YouTube style is one of the best in the genre and platform.

  • Donna S says:

    Haven’t tried any Navitus fragrances yet but this sounds perfect for the warm seasons. Thank you!

  • Sherin Thomas says:

    I love Navitus, they have amazing offering. Hoepfully this wont remind of Creed’s Millisime Imperial. I am eager to try

  • opalbear says:

    I have only tried and own one from Navitus which is The Embrace but I just love its toasty ambery warmth. If this is another surprise like gourmand that would be lovely!! I trust Bertrand to put a little twist on the melon/notes so I’m intrigued by this!!
    In California, thank you for the chance to win.

  • Sequita Whitehead says:

    Navitus Parfums have definitely peeped my interest with some of there fragrances, including melon kiss. I would definitely love to have this fragrance to add to my collection. I can appreciate the notes and this came just in time.

  • Doubleoh says:

    Steven and Navitus always have something up their sleeve. I just saw something about the release of this fragrance and the note breakdown definitely has me looking. I have never had a chance of smelling a fragrance with notes of honeydew melon but that mixed with the coconut milk, honey and madagascan vanilla? Steven mentions the evolution of the citrus being short lived as it makes its way to the smell of this fresh cut melon adding a playful frutiness to the scent. I need this….

    my favorite fragrance from Navitus is Raised Spirits. It’s my signature in the colder months

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    This sounds so amazing. Melon, honey, and vanilla. Yum! My insta is Eris.can.swatch.kaos

  • ryanapostolo says:

    I love Steven’s honest opinion and I’ve never had any experience with Navitus perfumes but this sound very interesting.

  • Hannah says:

    Steven’s review is simple and sweet! Sounds perfect for summer and love the name, Melon Kiss! This would be my first Navitus perfume, so excited to explore more scents from this house.

  • Falonte Moore says:

    WOW……I was just looking at a new fragrance with melon ealier today…..All I can say is I want this…I pray i win……Thank s again Steven for the review….

  • a.fn7 says:

    Steven’s review is just good as always, very descriptive, great presentation. I don’t currently own any Nativus parfums, yet but I’m looking forward to owning 1 in the future.

  • Jose G says:

    Unfortunately it’s out of stock sounds interesting though and a fragrance I would wear in the summer.

  • Gladys Catalina Rivera says:

    I am a fan of the melon note, I have been partial to Gallaguer’s interpretation of it. I would love to experience this note through the noses of these exquisite perfumers and the artistic collaboration from Gaby.

  • WillRhodes says:

    This is one of the most exciting new releases I’ve seen! Natives is a masterful line and everything they create is such incredible. I cannot imagine how juicy and gorgeous this one is. And when Steven gives a fragrance high praises I know it’s going to knock my socks off.
    -In Chicago

  • extremetraveler says:

    I cannot get over the presentation of this bottle, with the fruity, tropical vibes and ombre fade – Makes me want to experience that juicy, honey, lactonic coconutty elixer! Something about the dark, sultry gourmand Chocolate Queen and Venom of Love type of fragrances, and the bright summer fresh selections of Navitus… but, as a 30-something male, I feel like I’m in the heart of my fruit fragrance season and this one sounds like it’s right on the money! Awesome review Steven!

  • gabriel94 says:

    never tried a navitus parfums perfume, would love to try this one love melon and honey and according to redolessence it looks like a very sexy sweet and easy going scent

  • mdellaroc says:

    For a perfume to take Steven by surprise, it must be wonderful. The sensual “kiss” along with the flirtiness of the melon has strong appeal. In maryland.

  • womaningold says:

    I am in! Everything that is created and crafted by amazing Bertrand Duchaufour I want to own.
    Thank you for the generosity!
    Love USA

  • tx_ag says:

    I am very new to fragrances and this one sounds lovely. I honestly haven’t heard of this before and you made it sound great. It sounds like something my wife would enjoy me wearing. I don’t have any gourmand fragrances in my collection, yet, and this sounds like it will be a good start.

  • janelle22 says:

    I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect tropical scent and his review makes this seem like a winner! Creamy coconutty melon with honey? Sign me up!
    My favorite Navitus is Chocolate Queen. But my absolute fav boozy scent is Addiction Absolu from their sister company Navitus.

  • Annika says:

    Melon is a tricky note for me to wear. I have too many unpleasant memories of cucumber and melon fragrances for me to fully embrace it. However, the tropical gourmand vibe with the coconut milk, honey and vanilla reminds me of a luscious summer dessert. MD, USA.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Bertrand Duchaufour career is remarkable , he cooked so many successful, beautiful and popular fragrances , from Jubilation XXV from Amouage to Timbuktu,to Noir Exquis from L’Artisan Parfumeur , and also Baklava Royale currently my favorite Navitus Parfums .
    Pierre Flores is a young performer , and he already cooked twice with Bertrand Duchaufour? That’s remarkable.
    Melon Kiss is a fragrance I’ll be happy to win, Michelyn introduction and Steven’s take on on the fragrance made me think of making Toasted Coconut Honey Cake, and later eating it on the beach in Mallorca with my girlfriend, while drinking freshly squeezed Melon juice.
    Of course a lot of famous perfumers worked with Navitus, not just Bertrand Duchaufour. Jorge Lee is the one , who cooked two of my favorite Navitus Parfums fragrances, Vivamor and Serenade. Like I said Bertrand Duchaufour Baklava is my favorite one
    Appreciate the introduction, the review and the giveaway campaign

  • Demetrius Lett says:

    It would be really nice to receive a bottle as a gift, because I went to the site and it says they’re out of stock.

  • jwolfy says:

    Great review, I love the smell of ripe honeydew and this sounds amazing for summer. I haven’t had the opportunity to try Navitus yet but I have been wanting to try Baklava Royale, and now this one for sure.

  • roxhas1cat says:

    I didn’t realize Bertrand created so many fragrances for Navitus. I have a sample order started and a few Navitus in my cart, I’m going to check out more of Bertrand’s creations before I close out my order. I love that something caught Steven by surprise. That bottle is stunning!!! I think Gabby would use that word. The longevity sure is a plus. Thanks for the chance…..fingers crossed. USA. instagram: roadrunner_girl100

  • IvanVelikov says:

    Let’s face it , Melon Kiss is spectacular Summer social nights out fragrance . Bertrand Duchaufour is a famous perfumer for a good reason, I even wear Timbuktu right now , the other perfumer Pierre Flores I don’t know. I was not aware of Gabby Loves Perfumes , I’ll check her YouTube channel , and on Instagram.
    From my perspective every man needs a perfectly fitting suit , and a fragrance like Melon Kiss.I like how Steven described the fragrance, delicious honeydew melon, creamy coconut on the bed of honey and vanilla. With the help of Bertrand Duchaufour and Pierre Flores tropical island meets niche perfumery, my expectations are so high, can’t wait. Personally I’m glad Melon Kiss is a tropical fragrance done in a juicy but still classy , and not childish super sticky way.
    Pistachio Green double breasted Havana suit, white shirt, no tie and light brown Chelsea boots is the outfit suited for Melon Kiss , perfect balance altogether.
    Vivamor is my favorite Navitus Parfums
    Thank you Steven, Michelyn, Bertrand Duchaufour , Pierre Flores
    USA

  • Gig84 says:

    I’d like to win Melon Kiss because I love the taste of honeydew melon, the sweet fruity and lactonic aspects , and especially the exotic base of the fragrance. The honey – coconut part i think will make it quite seductive , warm weather LBD is waiting for me . I know I’d enjoy the scent especially during late Spring and Summer weather.
    I’m also happy to know Melon Kiss is collaboration between one already accomplished perfumer like Bertrand Duchaufour, one up and coming prospect like Pierre Flores with creative direction of Gabriela from Gabby Loves Perfumes , thanks for linking her IG channel Michelyn .
    Aubade (Lyrik) , another Navitus collaboration Julien Rasquinet – Dominique Ropion is the best Navitus fragrance I’ve smelled . Aubade (Lyrik) , The Embrace and Navus are the Navitus Parfums fragrances I own.
    Thanks for the draw

  • mmerline says:

    Melon notes in a tropical context sounds like just the ticket for dreary days, with bergamot to sharpen up the opening. Steven mentioned in his review that the citrus is short lived, but the melon sounds freshly-cut, which is intriguing. Plus the melon and lactonic qualities have terrific longevity. Lovely bottle design, too.

    I’m in the midwest, USA. I haven’t tried any Navitus perfumes. I follow @cafleurebonoffical as @mmerline.

  • TheTara says:

    How fun! I was drawn to Steven’s description of this scent as smooth, upbeat, and flirtatious, and of course the bottle is gorgeous! Honeydew is probably my favorite fruit and it always reminds me of vacation. I haven’t tried any scents from this brand yet, but would love to. Thanks and hello from CO, USA!

  • Arron_Q says:

    This sounds deliciously summery. I love the smell of melon and I imagine that it works beautifully alongside coconut. I like the “come hither vibe” Steven spoke about, it sounds playful with a touch of romance. I haven’t tried anything from Navitus yet, but this one sounds like a good offering. Best of luck to everyone. I live in NC, USA.

  • foreverscents says:

    Honeydew melon, honey, and vanilla definitely go well together. Coconut also adds a sweet milkiness to the fragrance. I like how Steven said there is a come hither element to the fragrance. Melon Kiss sounds extremely unique and I’d love to wear this during the hotter months.

  • petergigov says:

    I’m always ready for sensual, deep and rich Tropical weather fragrances done right ✅
    Coziness, positive emotions , romantic occasions all are part of the festive sensation coming from Melon Kiss. The fragrance is not sugary sweet , but honeydew melon is so well blended with the coconut milk , bergamot and the honey. As far as I’m concerned it checks all the boxes, I’ll gladly wear it on dates, parties or concerts. Other than the modern masterpiece Timbuktu Bertrand Duchaufour is the perfumer behind Amouage Jubilation XXV, Penhaligon’s Sartorial, L’Artisan Noir Exquis ,Traversee du Bosphore , and Navitus Baklava Royale and Absolutio, I know he did great again with Melon Kiss. Pierre Flores i presume is a good perfumer too , if he’s working with Bertrand Duchaufour on different projects. From Navitus I’m happy to have Absolutio , Baklava Royale and Vivamor. I like Baklava Royale the most, but Vivamor gets me by most compliments
    Exciting giveaway , USA
    Regards

  • Michael Prince says:

    I loved Steven’s review of Navitus Perfumes Melon Kiss. It sounds perfect for the warmer weather and the ideal tropical fragrance featuring fruity touches Melon and Honeydew as well as gourmand notes of Coconut Milk, creamed Honey, and Vanilla. This sounds truly divine. My favorite fragrance from Navitus Parfums Arcanum. I follow Instagram page @cafleurebonoffical my Insta Name is @michaelprincefragrances

  • WaltherP99 says:

    In my personal list of all time favorite perfumers Bertrand Duchaufour is in my top 3 , one of the greatest ever. He composed iconic fragrances for MDCI Parfums, Amouage, Naomi Goodsir, Neela Vermeire, The Vagabond Prince, Penhaligon’s , L’Artisan Parfumeur . I really like his work with Navitus and their sub brands

    “who has created or co-created 18 fragrances for Navitus Parfums.”

    Plus 6 fragrances he composed for Vivamor and 2 for Galleria Parfums.

    “Melon Kiss is Bertrand Duchaufour’s second collaboration with perfumer Pierre Flores’

    It’s actually fourth collaboration between the two, other than Miel Extase last year they co-created Vanilla Ice and Sweet Sin for Vivamor Parfums, one of Navitus Parfums sub brands.

    Navitus Parfums fragrances are all made with quality ingredients, and composed by renowned perfumers, so no surprise here. I like Steven and Michelyn information about how Mellon Kiss was made , collab with Gabriela aka GabbyLovesPerfumes , the 2 perfumers , the scent profile and its mouthwatering qualities. Bertrand Duchaufour uses honey, vanilla , fruity and lactonic nuances so well , can’t wait to get my hands on Mellon Kiss. Not to mention how even Steven is surprised by the smoothness and the elegance of the aroma.
    If I have to rate my favorite Navitus Parfums fragrances , not counting Vivamor and Galleria Parfums:
    1. Soir Exclusif , also composed by Bertrand Duchaufour
    2. Serenade/Empyreal/Baklava Royale
    3. Exralt Nuit/The Embrace
    All profiles I already follow , @waltherp99bg
    Thanks a lot

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Fresh yet creamy is the perfect scent for anyone looking to make a spring and summer statement or is dreaming of a tropical getaway.-Steven

    Yes please , the bottle is exactly that, like a tropical island trip. Steven review was like a trip to Bali , with Es Kuwut Martini coctail in my hand. For those who are not aware Es Kuwut is a Balinese fruit coctail of honeydew melon, coconut and lime .
    I like Mellon Kiss versatility for such party like occasions, I can’t go wrong with honey and vanilla added to one of my favorite Summer cocktails like fragrance made by a genius like Bertrand Duchaufour. The other perfumer Pierre Flores I’m not familiar with, but working side by side with Bertrand Duchaufour is a statement on its own.
    My favorite Navitus Parfums fragrance is Navus , I’m also into XO Brandy, Absolutio , and Vivamor .
    Thank you for the opportunity

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the video Steven and writeup Michelyn. So interesting to see that this is a collaboration.

    I don’t think I’ve smelt a honey dew fragrance. The use of a lactonic coconut milk and a honey vanilla is pretty neat take and reminds me of a few desserts that I have had. Can’t wait to smell this when hot weather comes around.

    I also love the presentation – the color transition is beautiful and looks like a honeydeew melon.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Amber says:

    Steven’s description of lactonic and fruity definitely sounds unique!!! Navitus has done it again and Gabby’s direction is exactly what was needed! I’m so excited about Melon Kiss!!! @amber_7858

  • sheri doyle says:

    I want this perfume so bad I live in Cincinnati ohio United States. I love the review and I desperately want to get a bottle. A free one would be awesome since I cannot find it anywhere to buy or order. I even dream about it. Please help
