Mémoires d'une Palmeraie 02

When first sprayed, this is citrusy pine and green notes to start with. It remains very fresh as it dries down. I'm not sure I could easily identify palm as a note independently, but in this case it adds an X factor to a classic clean, green scent that I love. Like with many fragrances with these notes, it's not a beast. However, for its category, it really does have decent projection and lasting power. I adore that it actually gets soapier as it matures, as I love that type of smell. I've had my bottle for about a year now, and I find that it is perfect for fall and winter when I want a "clean" scent but don't want the spring/summer vibes of soapy floral or soapy citrus. Really, this is one of those rare, year round fragrances though, it could be worn anytime. I've sampled all of the Fo'ah line, and I found 02 to be the most unique and, certainly, most suited to my tastes. However, if you want green with fruit notes you may want to obtain samples of their other offerings.

Review of the 125ml bottle: I like the bottle design, but the cap is plastic not glass. It feels a bit lightweight in your hand which is slightly disappointing. Surprisingly coniferous at the start with the bergamot just behind the pine. My impression prior to sampling was altered, I do think in warmer climates this can be worn beyond summer in spring/fall. The slightly effervescent pine and juniper give way to the prominent palm note and musk at the heart. They're both detectable at the opening, foreshadowing and perhaps making the fragrance just slightly linear. I do not detect much incense at any point. I get good longevity on 2-3 sprays with moderate sillage. Definitely unisex and unique. Worn to the office once, but will be my go to summer evening fragrance. Recommend sampling if you want a summertime fragrance that is neither citrus, sweet, or fruity but still somewhat tropical.

Explored Mémoires d'une Palmeraie line via Discovery Kit and 02 was instantly my favorite, not to say that it still keeps growing on me. It is such a beautiful fresh aromatic with zesty bergamot, green and woodsy notes, musky nuance and sensual incense enveloping everything together. It is absolutely perfect for the spring and summer, love the touch of the unique Palm Tree note. It is green, balsamic and a bit herbal, have a humid forest or a morning dew sensation. It has been a while since I have smelled anything this good and original, it is absolutely addictive! 02 works the best in warmer weather in my opinion, warm temperature brings out the best nuances.

Definitely opens green and juicy. Aromatic with slight woody facets. Feels like a breezy cool air in the mountains of Baguio in the Philippines or Cisarua, Bogor in Indonesia. Clean, crisp, green, pine-y, dew drops, the sun coming through the tall pine trees and it’s in the morning where you can literally hear nature. I do hope you get my reference because it is beautiful. 02’s may not project big, but I do think its scent bubble is just the right amount for you to enjoy or for anyone close enough. Longevity wise, it differs on my skin depending on the weather. It lasted the longest on a cool day with slight drizzles.

I agree with the previous reviews. This is a surprisingly bright, effervescent and easy to wear incense fragrance to wear during spring and summer. The fragrance does not project a lot but it leaves a pleasant sillage behind you. A very interesting creation. In my buy list.
