Open sesame

Kedu veiled in sesame; an amazing interlude for a journey of renewed pleasure. Memo Paris journeys are not always long. During brief yet extraordinary stopovers, a fragrance can be dreamed up for a limited edition.

Sesame and grapefruit come together and merge like the landscape that inspired them, the high plain of Kedu. Nestled on the island of Java, at the heart of Indonesia, this land is fertile, luxuriant and volcanic in one. The generosity of nature and the eruptive proximity of the Merapi volcano resound in echo, just like the promise of sesame and the burst of grapefruit answer one another. The same vitality, the same vigorous energy flows from one to the other, giving the composition all of its depth and breadth.

Oil of grapefruit, Sesame absolute, White musk, Sesame extract 

Neroli, oil of Mandarin, Maté absolute, Freesia accord, Rose-peony accord, Moss

Memory

Bright. Smooth. Refreshing.

The balance on this fragrance is something spectacular. It is compelling and complex but lightweight and delightful. The first note is like spooning out the perfectly cut section of a ruby-red grapefruit, where there are just enough fresh cut peonies on the breakfast table for floral air to balance the acidity. The crushed sesame note adds a nutty creaminess to soften and stretch the scent as it dries down. Maté has a slightly bitter/greenery presence that is just enough to keep everything grounded without any coarseness. That earthy freshness connects well with the base of white musk that centers and elevates the lingering citrus zest notes throughout the day. I would gladly wear this daily, year round but I keep special by specifically using it to elevate happy occasions, that way when there are times I need to recall happier moments during daily life, I can spritz this on knowing that it will bring me joy.

Beautiful, subtle smell

I'm in love with this unique fragrance. It's light and unisex. It could never be overpowering. I can't say it has great longevity but I get about 6 hours of wear time before I need to respray. It's truly good for year-round wear. When I first sprayed it I pictured myself wearing it on a cold winter's day while wearing an oversized sweater sitting by a warm fire - but you could just as easily wear this in the summer. I would say it's more of an everyday fragrance than a special occasion fragrance. I absolutely love the smell - unlike anything I've smelled before. I just wish it lasted longer. I recommend this if you're looking for a subtle, light, unique fragrance. I look forward to spraying this.
