The perfume industry has been one of the many things I haven’t explore yet. It is a new world I could say that is comparable to wines and/or cheeses. It got a set identity that only those who truly know would understand. That is why sometimes, I felt fascinated whenever I would listen to people talking about key notes and origins. I think it was the same feeling I experience just recently when this new scent called Memo Paris was introduce here in the Philippines through Art of Scent.
Memo Paris is a fragrance house founded by John and Clara Molloy in 2007. It was a love story coupled with the pairs love to travel and adventure that inspired the collection of fragrances that would become Memo Paris.
It was after Clara’s memories collected from various parts of the world that inspired Memo Paris’ name.
And just like my passion to travel, exploring Memo Paris collections takes me to places I have and haven’t visited yet.
One of the collections I’m drawn into is called Cuirs Nomades. While the brand’s inaugural collection Les Echappées was rooted in the mystery of a destination, Cuirs Nomades endeavors to explore the places where leather blossoms. Memo is driven by the intuition that leather is fulfilled somewhere. Is it not, in essence, nomadic? The travel tool par excellence, the faithful companion of globetrotters, curious minds and adventurers off to discover the world, a leather bag their only witness. In keeping with this theme, Memo has produced its own trunk as a symbolic home for all the fragrances that are created on and by our travels. A true treasure chest for olfactory round trips.
The collection includes 5 scents that includes, African Leather, French Leather, Irish Leather, Italian Leather, and Russian Leather; all of which are suitable for both men and women. Among the 5, I picked the French Leather.
- OLFACTIVE PYRAMID: Lime essence, pink pepper essence, juniper essence, rose essence, clary sage essence, cedar essence, styrax resin, vetiver, musk, suede accord
- 3 KEY NOTES: LIME ESSENCE, ROSE ESSENCE, SUEDE ACCORD
- VOLUME : 75 ml
- PRICE: PHP 10,450

French leather by Memo Paris
French Leather by Memo Paris is a leather fragrance for men and women. It was launched in 2014, with Alienor Massenet as the nose behind the scent. The fragrance features lime, pink pepper, juniper, clary sage, rose water, resin, cedar, vetiver, white musk and suede. This is one of the most love scent from Memo Paris.
It’s longevity on my skin and clothes lasted long enough to finish my day-to-day activity. French Leather could have a strong opening, but it fades quickly and leaving behind a beautiful rose water and soft brown suede leather scent.
This kind of scent is so new to me and I think I would be sticking on to it.
