A Cherished Memo from Paris
MEMO as in MEMORY. As in SILLAGE. As in SOUVENIR.
That hand written note that changes the trajectory of your life. Forever. A note you keep till your death bed. Memo Paris fragrances will stay on your mind, forever after.
Launched in 2007, by Clara Molloy and her husband John, Memo sees fragrance as a journey, building its identity around magical destinations and intense raw materials, with natural ingredients of beautiful quality. A desire to go elsewhere and to meet people in the image of the founding couple. She, Parisian, poet and Catalan; he, Irish, globetrotter and sportsman.
Marfa by Memo Paris pays homage to the artistic town by the same name in Texas, USA. White musk, orange blossom and tuberose. Spices.
I love Memo Paris says about this fragrance:
Memory
With the sky in the background, the desert is forgotten. Tuberose absolute. Mystery, infinity hidden under the scenery, silence under the cacti. A slow-motion western. Vanilla seed. The Milky Way in azure wake, the road, half cedar, half sandalwood, rises. Orange blossom absolute. Monolithic shadows, dreamy sculptures or rocky mountains, worlds collide. Agave accord. Stop the wind, mix the strident and striped color of neon with musk, stir up the dust of the orange blossom. Warmth, intoxication of blue, memory. Essence of ylang ylang. Here life is a novel. Marfa.
When Marfa mixes its tuberose with spices, an extraordinary stopover is born for a journey of renewed pleasure. Memo Paris's journeys are not always long. During a stopover, as short as it is extraordinary, the perfume is improvised, dressed in gold and light.
