Ithaque

A more mass appealing fragrance offering from Memo. Perfect for summer. This has the juiciness of Dolce Gabanna Light Blue Forever, the zingy citron like citrus and woodsy notes reminiscent of Terre D'Hermes Eau Givree and the creamy/soft lactonic quality in Initio's Musk Therapy. One of my favorite new pickups this year. There isnt anything really off-putting in this, its just so pleasant. Average projection, sits close to the skin so in terms of performance it isnt spectacular but it isnt a poor performer either. Very glad I picked this up. Found it at Neimans - not online yet as of May '23. EDIT: Great sillage and longevity. Its a terrific summer scent. I was trying this for the first time after purchasing and after spraying it on a Polo, went anosmic to it. I wasnt able to wash it before wearing it a second time on a trip and was wondering why the Polo smelled so good - it was this fragrance. Certainly addictive. This and Sicilian Leather are favorite Summer Memo's.

The best way I can describe this is that it smells like Sedley and Galloway and Castley combined, maybe leaning more to Galloway and Castley, but moreso the fresher and lighter aspects of the two. Ive only smelled Speed Legends off a tester and I ADORED that fragrance; but unless it smells very different off skin, I dont feel like Ithaque smells TOO much like it.. Speed Legends seemed to hit with more of a woody punch, which admittedly I prefer to Ithaque (by a lot) But Ithaque itself on first impression is an excellent spring/summer option that smells familiar enough to PDMs that I love but also different enough that its far from redundant (as a collector). My girlfriend also loves it, so theres that.

Very fresh, but not at all boring and expected! Citrusy with a pleasant woody-spicy bitterness, so well blended! I smelled it in a store on my skin as well as paper, and athough I liked it, I was originally underwhelmed and thought I preferred another bergamot-forward fragrance. I took the scented paper home with me, and just couldn't believe how addicted I ended up being to this perfume! The other perfume I still liked as it was super balanced and fresh to my nose, it was also just super predictable. Ithaque, however, showed its true unique colours. I have never smelled anything similar. It is pricey, so I did not immediately run to get a full bottle, but it is pretty high on my wish list now.

Ithaque is a luminous journey. From the opening, the burst of bitter orange and bergamot hits like a sea breeze crashing onto the Greek coastline. As it settles on the skin, it unveils a warm, resinous, and woody countryside drenched in Mediterranean sun. It feels noble, vibrant, and sun-soaked. It performs brilliantly in hot weather- even during intense heatwaves, it brought me a welcome wave of freshness without ever feeling heavy or cloying, and the longevity was impressive. My only small regret: the promised raspberry remains completely invisible to my nose, overshadowed by the lively citrus and blackcurrant. Still, a magnificent fragrance for warm weather.

To me this smells green and refreshing. It’s like seeing a big fresh lush green field from the ship. This conveys a feeling of fresh air and open space while sailing by an island with a lush green field on a warm, sunny, non-windy morning. Although there is nothing aquatic about this fragrance, I can almost hear the sound of water splashing against the ship. This is a love for me. But I’m a big fan of the house of Memo and I love almost all of their fragrances.

This will be my next Memo purchase for sure. It’s fresh with a lot of depth. The citrus notes are blended exceptionally well. Very sophisticated fragrance. Kind of shocked at the low rating because this is a beautiful fragrance. UPDATE: I purchased a FB and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Such an amazing addition to my collection,

I love this one from Memo! This is a very different, unique citrus based scent. I haven't smelled anything like it. It feels like was made specifically for white shirts, Aperol spritzes, and coastal air. Very original. Well crafted. Long lasting. Totally masculine. Girlfriend approved. Get your nose on this!

Lasts and projects decently long. It’s non-offensive which i really enjoy using for everyday activities. When i tried smelling it first on paper it reminded me of some soap i use for my dog. Smelling on skin was way better for me and im definitely wearing it when the summer starts. Excellent fragrance

loved the scent when i first smelt it, pretty much bought it instantly and i have to say, idk if it’s my skin chemistry or what, this thing LASTS. sprayed four times and did sports afterwards in scorching heat, took a shower, and slept afterwards... woke up and i could still smell it on me!

Smells very much like a lighter Bvlgari Aqva Amara. I like it. But I don't know why. Went in on a bottle, because there is something interesting to me about it. I like wearing it. No one has yet told me that it smells like a women's fragrance, so that's a plus.

Absolutely worth the blind buy! The citrus and spice opening is phenomenal and the dry down with the jasmine note is a nice touch and is not too overpowering which helps strike a balance for guys who do not like too much florals in their fragrances. 10/10!

Bitter portakal ve ardıçın verdiği hissiyatı çok beğendim. Normalde meyveli diyebileceğimiz parfümleri pek sevmem ama bu baya başarılı olmuş. Ardıç parfüme girince çok güzel bir hava katıyor. Yaz hissiyatını güzel hissettiren parfümlerden. 8.5/10

Smells like memos take on diptyque orpheon, but with a strong mandarin note at the start. Very peppery and mandarin heavy, I have to be in a certain mood to wear it but when I do wear it I love it. Plus I've gotten multiple compliments with it.

Today, I tested five juniper berry note perfumes all over my arms. And I worked out for almost 2hours. Of course, I sweated a lot. And when I got home, only this perfume's smell is still alive. smell is also still goood.

I tried this fragrance yesterday. This is soooo beautiful. I think it is one of the best green fresh fragrances I have smelled this year. It lasts almost 9 to 10 hours and this would get you thousands of compliments.

Long lasting very unique fresh fragrance i layer this with winter palace and it works relly good easily one of my top fresh everyday fragrance which last almost whole day and prijects well

Unique green citrus perfume.The opening is just awesome.Signature scent worthy for summer.Underrated Gem! Update: Performance is really good for a freshie. Detectable even after 8-9 hours.

an extremely beautiful perfume by all means, the opening is out of this world. it brings calm, serenity and different level of luxury. Highly recommended for summer season. Over all 9/10

Love Ithaque but having tried YSL Myslf Absolu, when I run out of this juice I think I could get away with that juice. If you like this, give that YSL a shot!

Really lovely citrus that shines in hot weather. Lasts surprisingly long compared to other citrus heavy fragrances. Can smell it all day in 30c+ weather.
