Flam by Memo Paris

Memo Paris · 2021 · EDP

Flam

floriental

A fragrance that brings to mind the magnetic energy of the northern lights alongside the protective warmth of a cozy wooden house. The marriage of natural ingredients including bergamot, bitter orange, aromatic clary sage, and sambac jasmine creates a rush of bright freshness. They whirl around suave, vibrant notes of cedarwood. Then emerges that pleasant feeling of well-being at home, as Mother Earth generously provides ingredients such as tonka bean and vanilla pods, paired with comforting mineral amber and sweet white musk.
