MEMO Paris Flam Review (2021) + a nordic draw
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. 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.

Les Indemodables Ambre Supreme Review (Antoine Lie) 2021+ The Real Deal Draw
Depending on what it is mixed with, ambergris can smell saline, animalic, ambery, mineral, fresh/ozonic, sweet, musky, earthy, … well, you get the picture. For this reason, and due to its prohibitive cost, ambergris is usually used as a background material to amplify its partners or replaced with a synthetic version. But not in Les Indemodables Ambre Supreme. Created by master perfumer Antoine Lie, Ambre Supreme contains a walloping 10% dosage of the real deal, specially sourced and tinctured for the brand. The resulting fragrance glows like a topaz in candlelight; incandescent, warm, refractory and very elegant.
