In our CaFleureBon Creative Directors in Perfumery Series, Clara Molloy who co-founded Memo Paris Fragrances wrote “The name of the brand, Memo, comes from Memory. Olfaction is our most archaic sense. One of the first we explore as human beings. It’s link to our sensations of space and time and I believe, is something that has not been totally discovered by scientists. Perfumes have a strong connection to your soul, to your inner self… A fragrance can reveal you, transform you, it is far more powerful than people usually think”. Mme. Molloy works in collaboration with perfumer Alienor Massenet and has since the brand’s inception in 2006. There are eight fragrances in the series Cuir Nomades, which was introduced in 2013, each evoking leather inspired by travel and place. Irish Leather was the first, homage to Mme. Malloy’s husband and business partner John Molloy, who was born in Ireland. In 2019, Sr. Editor Ida Meister reviewed Oriental Leather(which she adored) and now Editor Sebastian Jara tests the newest from the Cuir Nomades, Memo Paris Ocean Leather.
From its name and the photo on the bottle, you might think is another entry into the aquatic genre of fragrances, which many shy away from. There is a touch of the sea in Memo Paris Ocean Leather, but more aromatic sea breeze and sea grass than a typical marine-inspired fragrance. For Sebastian, the leather is subtle. There is a green vegetal vibe from the sage, basil and vetiver that will surprise you. If you are like Sebastian and want a new take on the classification, the best way to try a perfume is not necessarily by reading notes, or marketing copy. You can order a bottle or sample online at Osme Perfumery. Main notes: Mandarin, Clary Sage, Leather accord, vetiver
