I met Jean-Paul Gaultier at Eurovision’s final backstage. I was so impressed to hear that a true fashion legend likes my vocal performance and staging, especially the appearance of the piano at the beginning. What else do you need if you’ve been supported by such amazing talents like Jean Paul Gaultier or Verka Serduchka through this Eurovision journey? Not to mention my devoted fans all over Europe, who gave me so much support, and I will never forget it.

A bit of Black Gas

The formula of the debut fragrance was developed personally by MÉLOVIN on the full moon night. Perfume for strong and self-confident personalities! (…) Mysterious, languid, warm, intriguing, recognizable, niche.
