OUR STORY
"The Journey is the destination" is Memo's motto: the time of the journey is an integral part of the experience, it is essential for the encounter with beauty to occur. Creating a perfume is part of the same movement; it is also a matter of patience and high standards in order to achieve the desired olfactory landscape. It is faithful to this vision of beauty that Memo redraws the map of a sensitive world rich in emotions, by creating a unique olfactory world map.
Memo like memory. Like souvenir. Like sillage
The Origin
The Parisian fragrance house launched in 2007 by Clara Molloy and her husband John see fragrance as a journey, forging its identity around magical destinations and potent raw materials. This desire for travels to far-off places and encounters is the very reflection of the founding couple: she, the Parisian-Catalan poet, he, the sporty Irish globetrotter.
Memo Paris imagines perfume as a journey, building its identity around magical destinations and intense raw materials, high quality natural ingredients.
Ode to the natural
The most beautiful landscapes deserve the most beautiful natural ingredients. Hence, Memo Paris grant perfumers unrestricted liberty, with no constraints in the choice or in the quality of the desired ingredients. They have a rare freedom to express their creativity allowing the creation of unique compositions with character. Each fragrance reflects the destinations that inspire our perfumers.
Memo Paris has made its home at 24, Rue Cambon, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Our creations are available in over forty countries or regions.
The wake of time
A vintage twist characterizes Memo Paris fragrances, mostly reflected in the Cuirs Nomades collection. Imagined as a subtle nod to the antique leather cases and luggages that recall the art of travelling of yesteryear, it is now what distinguishes the Memo Paris universe. To give a perfume the strength of a memory, it has to blossom over time; Memo Paris compositions evolve beautifully on the skin and offer long-lasting hold. The skin memorizes them.
Memo Paris is 15 years old. 15 years, the time of irreverent, unpredictable and bubbling love.
A hint of freshness
Popping up through an unexpected facet, a surprising note gives our perfumes a particular dynamic. The Eau de Memo, as the Graines Vagabondes collection are emblematic of this willingness to express freshness in a perfume in a new way. With intensity and audacity.
