MEMO Paris Flam by Olya Bar©
Imagine a little wooden house nestled on the road that crosses the majestic glacial valleys, where the lingering memories of Viking ships gliding through its waters remain as vivid as it were yesterday. MEMO Paris Flam is a fragrance that brings the magnetic energy of the northern lights in the coziness of a warm home with a whiff of upcoming spring.
Flam is a small port village located in Flamsdalen, Norway. Surrounded by steep mountainsides and roaring waterfalls hidden in deep valleys, Flam is a paradise for anyone looking to be one with nature. Translated into a fragrance, it offers just that in a bottle. The perfect blend of zesty bergamot, bitter orange, aromatic clary sage, and fresh sambac jasmine creates a rush of cold fresh air. The composition is akin to a shamanic dance around cedarwood as the comforting scent of a warm wooden home emerges.

MEMO Paris Flam brings back vivid memories of my trip to Iceland a few years ago. One of the most memorable travels began with the freshest gulp of cold air as soon as we exited the airport. Iceland is truly a one-of-a-kind place. Unlike anything else, it captures you with its raw nature, simple beauty, and the feeling of total freedom. MEMO Paris Flam felt like stepping into the hot baths of the Blue Lagoon, a world-famous destination close to Reykjavik. The experience of the hot springs is quite an unforgettable one, and you dedicate the entire day to this ritual. It begins with the arrival at the facilities, and the minute you step out of the car, you can smell the soft mineral scent of the baths all around you. It has almost a floral freshness to it mixed with the soil’s minerality. Once you undress in the spa locker room, you are welcome to use the range of the skincare made with algae and silica, and there is a particular soapiness wafting through the air as the door to the lagoon lets the freezing cold air into the spa and mingles with the warmth of the steam.

The best part is finally coming out into the open air, throwing off the robe of your shoulders, and stepping into the steaming geothermal seawater. That’s what Flam makes me think of. That initial feeling of cold air and warmth contrasting against your skin as it touches your skin is truly unforgettable. The warmth of vanilla and tonka bean paired with comforting mineral amber and sweet white musk set against the cool freshness of jasmine and clary sage is Flam’s true beauty. The steam rising from the water set against the cold air is a beautiful contrast of senses. A perfect escape to the Nordic environment, traced by the fjords. Cedar essence. Steeped in, the hypnotic charm of scenery turned blue by wintertime. Clary sage. Once the fair weather returns, revealing a lush valley in endless hues, with the waterfalls singing in the background. Bergamot and sambac jasmine. The landscape becomes all the more intense upon entering the depths of the fjord, where the sea meets freshwater.
