Memo Paris Cappadocia

Memo Paris Cappadocia sets luminous saffron and cool iris against a dense resinous weave of myrrh, olibanum and benzoin, softened by sandalwood and vanilla.

Profile: Amber-woody.

Notes: Saffron, sandalwood, myrrh, jasmine, iris, rose, olibanum, benzoin, vanilla, resinous woods.

Evolution: Saffron, myrrh, olibanum and benzoin surround iris, jasmine and rose over sandalwood, vanilla and resinous woods.

Best for: For the contemplative traveler who finds luxury in texture, silence and old stone rather than shine. Cappadocia suits a winter journey, a candlelit room or a quiet ceremonial evening; saffron, myrrh and incense wrap the iris and rose in resinous warmth, which may feel too solemn for bright-floral tastes.

Origin: France.

Longevity: 8–12 hours.
