Mercadona reveals fresh fragrances inspired by royal favorites
Mercadona has done it again, catching attention with scents associated with regal style. After discussing the affordable perfume favored by Queen Letizia that can be found in Valencia supermarkets, the focus now turns to the fragrances worn by her daughters and the accessible options available for everyday use.
The retailer’s collection features Simply Flowers, a fragrance line that echoes the elegant simplicity of a classic orange blossom note. This aroma is reminiscent of the beloved Nanos cologne once favored by royal daughters, characterized by its soft, sunny orange blossom presence. Leonor and Infanta Sofia have long been linked to these gentle scents, chosen for their timeless appeal and approachable price point. The original version sits at a moderate price, typically under 20 euros, while Mercadona’s version—Nanos cologne, Just Flowers—enters the market at a friendlier 4.50 euros.
At launch, the line presented five spring-inspired variants: peony, violet, rose, orange blossom, and jasmine. Among them, the orange blossom fragrance remains a standout choice at 4.50 euros, offering a bright, uplifting profile that captures the season’s mood.
When to savor the scents
For best results, fragrance specialists recommend applying colognes after a shower when skin pores are open, allowing the scent to settle gently into the skin. The collection invites readers to explore each fragrance and find the one that aligns with personal taste and temperament. A thoughtful sample can reveal which notes resonate most—whether a light, airy floral or a richer, more resinous blend. [Citation: Mercadona fragrance catalog]
The current standout price remains 4.50 euros, making this line accessible to many shoppers. The orange blossom-forward variant offers a sophisticated blend featuring notes of orange blossom, bergamot, jasmine, honeysuckle, and green leaf, set against a backdrop of white musk, sandalwood, and amber. This combination creates a refined, sensual experience suitable for daily wear or special occasions. [Citation: Product notes and price list]
