Mémories de Montagne

Mémories de Montagne is such a beautifully unique scent. Right from the opening, you're greeted with a soft, comforting aroma that instantly reminds me of the Filipino delicacy Suman (sticky rice). It carries that warm, rice-like sweetness from start to finish — but in a way that’s never cloying or overbearing. It’s more of a cozy hug than a loud statement. The citrus and ginger in the opening keep things fresh and inviting, adding brightness before settling into a smooth, gentle skin scent. My fiancée and I genuinely love this fragrance — it’s become something we both cherish. I truly hope production continues and this doesn’t become one of those hidden gems that disappears! I’d say it’s blind-buy safe for some, but let’s be honest — blind buying is always a gamble in this world. Still, this one might just be worth the risk.

On the opening, it smells like buko pandan and suman, which is a Filipino dish usually eaten as a snack/dessert. For me, it is kinda creamy, lactonic, and a little sweet, but could still be worn in the summer heat. Then, when it dries down, the mango is there, and it smells intimately nice. This can be oversprayed, and you'll smell delicious throughout the day.

It's good. The opening smells like suman, not heavy or overly sweet; I'd say it's gourmand-adjacent. The drydown smells like crisp morning air in the country side. Scent: 8/10 Projection: 8/10 Longevity: 6.5/10

My favorite GP fragrance. Really does smell like kakanin. Imagine mango sticky rice but remove the sauce and make the mango green. How is it gourmand and fresh at the same time hahaha honestly a fave.

Hmmm smells delicious, I really love it, but it needs more power! More longevity, but for the price and scent it's all worth it! Give it a try!! And smell delicious!
