African Rose Eau de Parfum - Memo Paris
Rose, routed through smoke.
Not the powdered tearoom version of the flower. Saffron and cumin make the opening genuinely unusual, almost savoury, before rose absolute emerges carried on oud and vetiver. A leather accord keeps the drydown grounded. Distinctive rather than easy — one for someone who already knows they like oud.
Top notes: Bergamot, saffron, cumin, cardamom, geranium
Heart notes: Rose absolute, patchouli
Base notes: Oud, vetiver, musk, leather
Family: Floral leather
Concentration: Eau de Parfum
Best for: Autumn and winter, evening

How it wears
Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
