Memo Paris, a niche fragrance house, was founded in 2007 by poet Clara Molloy and her husband, John Molloy. The philosophy behind the brand is “the journey is the destination,” a motto reflected in its fragrance creations, which are inspired by travel and memories. Accordingly, each scent is dubbed a memory journey.

African Leather is a truly unique parfum de cuir. The leather note feels like an intimate, well-worn leather garment you’ve had for a very long time. It is long-lasting and a heavy compliment getter. The cardamom adds a spicy element at the opening, while a touch of geranium adds an elegant, floral factor. Overall, the scent is one-of-a-kind and incredibly calming.

Madurai is uplifting and bright right from the opening, lacking any harsh sharpness. It’s a summer fragrance that will make you fall in love at first sniff. As it dries down, it becomes slightly warmer and a lot richer. For that reason, I highly recommend it pour l'été nights rather than days out. If you have a fancy event this summer and don’t want to compromise on your fragrance, look no further.
3. Sherwood EDP

| Année de sortie | 2022 |
| Parfumeur | Juliette Karagueuzoglou |
Sherwood is a soft, creamy parfum de santal. Rather than being harsh, the woody notes come off as fluffy and even poudreux, a quality that makes the fragrance incredibly easy to wear, which I love. It also smells deeply comforting, reminiscent of a cosy home or a fairy’s hut in a magical forest. Absolutely fantastical.
4. Jannat EDP

| Points forts | DÉTAILS |
|---|---|
| Marque | Mémo de Paris |
| Meilleur pour | Unisexe |
| Famille de parfums | Floral |
| Remarques | The fragrance features Neroli, Petitgrain, Bergamot, Amalfi Lemon, Frangipani, Mandarin Orange, Musk, Clary Sage, Liatris, and Tonka Bean. |
| Année de sortie | 2008 |
| Parfumeur | Aliénor Massenet |
Jannat is a floral citrus fragrance and an amazing scent for summerL’ notes d'agrumes are distinct and clear in the composition, while the florals feel like they’re just there for support rather than taking centre stage. Because of this, its classification as a floral confuses me a bit. But that’s beside the point. This is a solid everyday fragrance for vêtements de bureau and running errands when the weather gets warmer.
5. Marfa EDP

| Points forts | DÉTAILS |
|---|---|
| Marque | Mémo de Paris |
| Meilleur pour | Unisexe |
| Famille de parfums | Floral Boisé Musc |
| Remarques | Haut: Peach and Mandarin Milieu: Tuberose, Ylang Ylang, and Orange Blossom base: Vanilla Bean, Musk, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Cedarwood |
| Année de sortie | 2016 |
| Parfumeur | Aliénor Massenet |
According to the brand, “Marfa captures the magnetic charm of a sun-drenched American landscape, where desert and sky merge, with a memorable, captivating parfum de tubéreuse—powerful and irresistible.” I wouldn’t know if that’s true, since I haven’t been to the Americas, but I do enjoy this fragrance a lot. I just wish that its fruity, peachy nuances were a little more prominent.
6. Sintra EDP

| Points forts | DÉTAILS |
|---|---|
| Marque | Mémo de Paris |
| Meilleur pour | Unisexe |
| Famille de parfums | Ambre Floral |
| Remarques | Haut: Petitgrain, Red Fruits, and Bergamot Milieu: Orange, Cinnamon, and Rose base: Caramel, Vanilla, and Musk |
| Année de sortie | 2020 |
| Parfumeur | Philippe Paparella-Paris |
A fragrance as fun and colourful as the place it’s named after, Sintra is a work of art. I can almost see the bright colours of orange and red when I smell this scent. The sweetness here is impeccable as well. The caramel and vanille give an almost gourmand-like quality to the aroma, especially when blended with the red fruits. Try this perfume, and you might just fall in love.
7. Moroccan Leather EDP

It only felt appropriate to round out this list of Memo Paris fragrances with a parfum de cuir. Moroccan Leather is my second-favourite leather from the brand; it is a beautifully deep, et une transition qui soit juste., ainsi parfum boisé. For the sake of honesty, you could probably find something very similar for a lower price in the Arab fragrance market. But if you want a parfum longue durée of amazing quality, and you are particular about subtle nuances, it is absolutely worth the splurge.
