Memo Paris – A Journey Through Scent
Founded in 2007 by Clara and John Molloy, Memo Paris is a luxury fragrance house that transforms the art of perfumery into an olfactory journey. With a deep love for travel, culture, and storytelling, the brand captures the essence of the world’s most captivating destinations, translating them into scents that evoke emotion, memory, and adventure.
A Philosophy of Travel and Exploration
Memo Paris is built on the idea that fragrance is a journey, and every perfume tells a story of a faraway place, a vivid experience, or a dreamlike landscape. Whether it’s the untamed wilderness of Africa, the mystical deserts of Morocco, or the vast ocean horizon, each scent is a passport to a new adventure.
Signature Scent Profile
Memo Paris is known for its rich, complex compositions, often featuring luxurious natural ingredients and an emphasis on leather accords, warm spices, florals, and woods. Many of their fragrances blend refined elegance with a raw, adventurous spirit, making them both sophisticated and bold.
Some defining characteristics of Memo Paris fragrances include:
Leather as a Signature Note – The Cuirs Nomades collection explores leather scents inspired by different regions, from African Leather to Irish Leather.
Exotic and Unconventional Ingredients – Unique elements like tuberose, mate tea, or marshmallow create distinctive, memorable compositions.
Long-Lasting and Bold – Memo Paris fragrances are designed to make a statement, leaving an unforgettable trail.
The brand’s name, “Memo,” comes from “Memory” – because each fragrance is designed to evoke vivid emotions and transport the wearer to a distant place.
Clara Molloy, a poet and writer, brings a deeply artistic approach to fragrance composition, while her husband, John, contributes a passion for travel and craftsmanship.
