Sherwood

Description

Hidden sandalwood

To continue the journey, Memo Paris loves the company of artists, author and illustrator, who let their imagination wander according to the landscape.

Maël Nozahic lives and works between her studio in Paris and Fouesnant, in Brittany. She studied at the École Européenne Supérieure d'Art de Bretagne (Quimper site) and at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe, Germany. Her paintings feature abundant landscapes, inhabited by whimsical characters and animals, where colour is a heroine to the full.

Loïc Demey, while he is also a Physical Education and Sports teacher in a secondary school in Lorraine, words are a need for him and writing a necessity. He has published several texts: "Je, d'un accident d'amour" (Cheyne Editeur, 2014), "D'un cœur léger" (Cheyne Editeur, 2017) and recently "Aux amours" (Buchet-Chastel, 2021). For Memo Paris, he approaches Sherwood as a living space, vibrant with sensations.

Hidden sandalwood

The maidenhair ferns ripple from the touch of an invisible presence. Who goes there? The edge of the undergrowth pulsates, beckoning lovers of stories and tales of moons, feathers and good Samaritans to the shelter of an age-old forest. Sherwood. A botanical palace in which each root hides a tender shoot, each variety of tree surprises by its skin-like bark. Smooth and sweet like orange blossom absolute. Like rose. Birds hold conciliabules in their nests, peeping and cheeping on about Robin. The treetops swap secrets of pink pepper and carrot seed oil. Only the cedar knows them. Where is the coveted treasure hidden? Suddenly an arrow flies down the middle of a path lined with blackcurrant buds. It skims past the birch and leaves a pervading trail of sandalwood oil that slips between the leaves, hugs the trunks, takes advantage of every ounce of quivering air to make its presence known. It points to the destination, leads the way to a fragrance: as generously discreet, as gloriously alive as the forest host.

Carrot seed, Sandalwood & Red Rose

Carrot seed oil, with woody, iris, violet and dried fruit notes, is obtained by steam distilling the ground tuber seeds. Sherwood springs forth with the warm note of New Caledonian sandalwood oil, produced from the cut branches and dead wood harvested from the dedicated plantation in the Lifou forest to preserve the natural resources of the site, and the intense, voluptuous notes of Damask rose cultivated in Turkey.

Perfumer's inspiration

"I crafted a spicy and captivating sandalwood cream. The deep and mellow woody signature of sandalwood is enhanced by the richness of sensual cashmeran and the precious oakwood."

Juliette Karagueuzoglou

The wake of time

The skin memorizes them

A vintage twist also characterizes Memo fragrances. It is reflected in the Nomadic Leathers collection, born as a subtle nod to the antique leather cases and luggage that recall the art of travel of yesteryear, and that now distinguishes the Memo universe. To give a perfume the strength of a memory, you have to allow it to blossom over time; Memo compositions evolve beautifully on the skin and offer long-lasting hold. The skin memorizes them.
