Memo Paris is a niche fragrance house founded by designer Clara Molloy, known for creating travel-inspired scents rooted in global destinations and cultural narratives. The brand emphasizes storytelling through fragrance, with each release anchored to a specific place or moment in time.

Winter Palace opens with a bright citrus accord, combining Amalfi lemon, bergamot, and mandarin orange for immediate freshness. The heart shifts toward warmer, spiced territory with cinnamon and saffron layered alongside jasmine and heliotrope, creating a floral sweetness with considerable depth. Amber and benzoin anchor the base with a soft, powdery finish, resulting in a fragrance that balances crisp topnotes against warm, gourmand undertones. The overall effect is refined and slightly gourmand without being overly sweet, landing somewhere between a fresh citrus opener and a sensual amber closer.

Winter Palace works best for those seeking a fragrance that transitions seamlessly across seasons, though it leans toward cooler months given its spiced warmth and amber-vanilla base. It suits anyone drawn to fragrances with complexity and gentle sweetness rather than aggressiveness. Wear it when you want something that feels both fresh and comforting. Scent DNA: The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Heirloom.

Amalfi Lemon
Amalfi Lemon
Grown on the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Amalfi lemons are unusually large and fragrant with a particularly sweet, aromatic rind and minimal bitterness. In perfumery they represent the idealized Italian lemon experience: luminous, floral-citrus, and vivid. The benchmark for high-quality lemon notes in classic Mediterranean fragrances.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Orange
Orange
Warm, round, and familiar, sweet orange is the most approachable of the citrus family. In perfumery it reads as sunlit and optimistic, with a gentle warmth that stops short of heaviness. Orange is frequently used to smooth and soften citrus openings, adding a natural sweetness that makes compositions feel immediately welcoming.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Heliotrope
Heliotrope
Powdery, sweet, and slightly almond-like, heliotrope is the quintessential 'retro' note of Victorian-era perfumery, now experiencing a fashionable revival. It smells of sugar, vanilla, and just enough floral to keep it interesting. In modern fragrances it tends to read as nostalgic, soft, and unapologetically pretty.
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Saffron
Saffron
The most expensive spice in the world has a leathery, honeyed, slightly metallic quality that is immediately recognizable. In perfumery, saffron adds a dark, animalic richness, it's the note that gives oud-rose fragrances their distinctive regal depth. A little goes a long way; too much reads as medicinal.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
