Mémoires d'une Palmeraie 08

The May Rose entwined with the delicate scent of the palm tree make this a beautiful, elegant, opulent floral bouquet.My fav from the brand! Moderate longevity and sillage!

This is a beautiful unisex jamming rose scent. Something between "Mon Nom est Rouge" by Majda Bekkali and "Rose 31" by le Labo. Thumbs up!

Rose is hard for me. I appreciate the skill of making a good rose fragrance without owning or wearing a lot. I know what I like and enjoy about rose, and what I don't. This is tickling something within me. I think it's really elegant. The initail waft smells like a Muller fruit corner. Seriously a kind of lactonic, fruity, yogurt, infused with a hint of rose. Then the rose accord comes on more and has a naturalism I like but it's very well pitched, sweetish, pretty drying down to a soapy rose musk. Not overpowering or ostentatious like roses often are, Pescheux has given it a shimmer and green, transparency. It's the palm again. I'm not imaging this or needlessly buying into this brands BS about a palm theme (or am I subconsciously?) NO!!! NO!!! I'm really not! seriously these really do have the cohesion and strong thread of a concept album like Marvin Gaye's 'What's goin on?' They are sort of all the same song, in the same key but who gives a shit, they sound great (or smell, pretty good) in this case. I mean that's where the analogy breaks down because these are not the genius of Gaye, they're just good. And this snarled slightly pathetic, pedantic, cynic would've taken real pleasure in giving Fo'ah a dressing down, but I quite like this. It's not a boring rose. It's not a rubbish off the shelf Montale rose to tick a box. Feels worked, earned, thought about.

The notes listed here are incorrect compared to the official website. There is absolutely no juniper here, the perfume is soothing and buttery with warm rosa centifolia and the palm accord that is unlike anything else in the perfume world and therefore hard to describe with words - it's soft, green and oily at the same time. A lovely perfume! Sits close to skin and words as as a kind of relaxing scent.
