Eau de Memo

My third purchased and reviewed Memo scent, and another Memo love at first sniff. This is a very light, delicate, clean and professional smelling citrus green scent. What I like is that the main notes are very easily identifiable and balanced. It’s strength is in the relatability to the ingredients. The opening is a sparkling fresh burst of lemon / bergamot zest, with the fresh green tea leaves following just a second later. A few minutes in, the citrus settles down, and the white floral jasmine reveals itself, backed by the other floral notes. The fresh green tea is present still. It’s important I feel to note that the green tea accord is more a plant like, fresh, green leafy note, rather than dried green tea leaves for drinking. Once the perfume dries down, the beautiful, delicate and subtle Memo style leather note arrives, supported by some deeper green accord (must be the moss note), which further intensifies the green and floral notes, adding richness. And again, the fresh green tea note is still present, as it has been throughout - the binding ingredient and note, bridging between the citrus, white flower and leather. This is such a tranquil and calming scent, yet it’s bright citrus notes are refreshing and energising. There is a real yin yang harmony here. The way the fresh green tea plant note binds everything together is amazing. The leather adds sophistication to this scent, elevating it far beyond any “freshy” scent I have experienced before. The quality of the product is high, as you would expect from Memo - from the packaging all the way through to the dry down of the perfume. Unisex. Spring / summer more, and daytime more. Lasts a decent amount of time, but it is by nature a very delicate scent, so I would say it’s quite close to the skin after 6 hours. Spray generously, you will not offend anyone. Fast becoming my second favourite scent of all time, after Memo Ocean Leather. Beautiful, peaceful and joyful.

To put it bluntly, this is like if you put a baggy of peeled clementines into a brand new leather bag and then walked past an auto body shop. And oh my GODDD it's SO GOOD. It delivers on its promises: citrusy and leathery with an airiness that prevents it from being too heavy, and the hint of floral and musk that keep it from coming off as cold. And yes, there's almost something reminiscent of gasoline to me, which I know isn't for everyone but is 1000% for me. It's soft, it's sensual, completely unisex and just... lovely. This could easily find itself in my top five. My only complaint would be that I wish the citrus notes lasted longer, it fades into mostly leather quite quickly--but it's not a big deal because I can imagine this would layer beautifully with almost any citrus scent (I have it on with an orange lotion and it helps those top notes shine). This isn't really in my price range at the moment (don't mind if you hear sobbing in the distance), and you can believe I'll be yearning after a full size until I get my hands on one.

I wore this for 5 years straight because no other fragrance so consistently brought me the joy that this one does. It's the perfect balance of fresh and elegant. Yes, it's citrus, green tea and expensive luggage. But it harmonizes those notes far more beautifully than any of its near cousins with similar notes. There is no season or time of day that doesn't feel right for this one. On the elephants: Yes, they do appear. It's a particular way the green tea and leather tilt their heads sometimes, seeming to morph into trodden hay and sun-warmed elephant skin. Oddly, this happened to me most often when spending a long time outside in weather that was both cold and humid. But even in that mode, it wasn't unpleasant. The only reason I no longer wear it is that I'm saving the precious last drops in my bottle. But I may just need to buy another bottle of this instead of waiting to find a suitable replacement for something so lovely.

FB worthy to me! My tea-scent quest led me to this gem. It is already available in Zurich so I could sample it...I am wowed by this leathery-refreshing tea perfume. Makes me feel confident, when I wear it. Refreshing bergamot-green-tea opening, slightly sweet but just a tiny bit. Might be the saffron but generally, I cannot detect it on my skin. After approx. 2-3h tea vibe disappears more and more and what remains is a sexy leather scent. It joins the opening already but the refreshing ice green-tea-burst wakes you up nicely before it settles down with the leathery note. Gorgeous and amazing longevity - especially for a tea scent! Loving the leather notes in this, which makes it very unisex. Sillage is moderate.

Holy smokes! I love this. Def different on paper than on my skin, but so gorgeous. Clean and fresh and sophisticated, with a healthy dose of classic Memo suedey leather. I feel like a different person with this on--and she's got her life together. Not soapy, just beautiful. Gentle. Unisex. Lovely. EDIT: I've worn this every single day since I got my sample. Longevity is crazyyyyy good, I smell great all day long. I smell expensive (probably because the FB is...) Wild how people will comment "It's basically Elizabeth Arden Green Tea" if tea leaves or green tea are in the notes of ANY fragrance. Just say you don't like green tea, and move on! This is lovely <3

Love love love ... beautiful fresh scent. A perfume not perfume. Keeps you fresh and sophisticated. Like a no make up make up look. I can smell it on me throughout the day so it’s very present without screaming or offending anyone that I am wearing perfume. It morphs with my own skin chemistry. I am in a journey to discover Memo Paris fragrances and so far Eau de Memo is my favourite from the house. Update: to be sure and sure this is the best. I don’t know what you put inside this bottle but for me It’s pure magic. . I just wanted to leave a love note to this House. 💛

Light airy citrus-white floral green tea in the opening that gives off sophisticated vibe. It has leather in the background, sitting quietly but noticeably throughout. It reminds me of the hotel lobby that is cold and modern and expensive, with white walls and high ceilings. My husband likes it everytime I wear it. Though women can pull it off, it’s not a feminine fragrance, it’s fresh and somehow professional. On the testing paper I couldn’t smell the leather note, but on cloth and skin it’s more prominent.

My first encounter with this beautiful scent was in Bari in a summer day, at the end of the day. After a sunny hot day, this was such a nice refresing perfume, but also mature. For me, i smell that beautiful green tea with that coriander and mandarine in the begining and after that, you start to smell the combination of jasmine, musk and iris plus that leather in the end. But, those flowers tend to make that leather note soft, not harsh at all, it is such well blended, perfect in the night in my opinion.

To me it smells like fresh citrus green tea AND leather all at the same time (I'd say like Chamois leather more specifically). The tea smell is rich and somewhat sweet, the leather is very sharp and even slightly bitter. The smell of leather is more fresh and crisp rather than musky, compared to a lot of other leather-fragrances I loved this smell, must be perfect for sping / summer if you like something fresh but more sopisticated than just citrus or fruity

At first I was so intrigued by the scent that I sprayed my jacket full with the tester of this on the store before I left. Plastic and cheapish elizabeth arden artificial green tea. If you google frutiger eco aesthetic, this smells like those pictures. At home I gagged. The next day I sniffed my jacket again and I got pretty nice citrus-floral blend and finally musk. In conclusion, more wearable on the drydown.

This is beyond stunning. Got this ssmple at NM when purchasing Trench by YSL , thought nothing of it whatsoever. I tried it about a week later and within seven days I bought a bottle retail, which is something I almost never do. How someone made a fragrance with green tea and leather smell so intoxicating is far beyond me. The compliments I get with this one are off the charts, this thing is stunning. 10/10

SO frustrating given the price: all the money seems to have gone into the opening notes, which on me, is a delicate balanced black tea / lemon / suede. Interesting and appealing. BUT, it quickly fades to stale wood with the faint air of spoiled milk. What were they thinking. My solution is to layer it over something with a better dry down.

So good so fresh. Crisp lemon and tea. And some other great stuff. I don’t find it leathery or smokey. TBH I am not into leather and memo. But this is one of the best citrus scent ever. But longevity wasn’t that good. It is expensive for that longevity. I blame it on its being a citrusy scent. 9/10

Citrus leather tea those sounds like they wouldn t work well together but they do it was a blind buy for me based on ratings and being seemingly underrated it is a beauty three days in and i have worn it every day now crisp lemon with leather and tea btw, this is super strong and lasts forever

someone wrote it reminds her of elephants and omg, exactly! it has that animalic, smell like elephants or horses have, oddly in a good way..its the leather note for sure. the tea and lemon note is also very prominent. this is a perfect summer scent, sophisticated and uplifting

A delightful little number this. How has no one mentioned this smells like Issey Miyake? Very similar no? Perhaps a more refined version but the DNA remains very close. A beautiful and vibrant citrus with elegance written all over it.

A beautyful light leather scent. Smells like a sexy person in a luxurious leather jacket drinking a fresh lemonade in the sunshine. Perfect for both women and men. One of the best scents I have tried for a long time! 9,5/10

This is so well blended. Each note seems to Segway into the other. It gives the impression you have smelled it before, but you haven't... Just smelled the individual notes in a different scent. We'll see about longevity

Flawless, blended to perfection, smokey leather balanced with sweet citrus notes. Do yourself a favour and grab this stunning beauty. Longevity is off the chart. Compliments galore!
