Bogue Profumo MEM is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Antonio Gardoni. MEM opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, and Champaca, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Bogue Profumo's MEM carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

MEM is a full-throttle assault on the senses, a gloriously weird and unapologetic beast of a fragrance. Prepare for a ride; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair where the haters usually get an undeniable animalic punch, while the lovers rave about its complex, evolving beauty.

About

Bold lavender, mint, and zesty grapefruit open the show, quickly spiralling into a malty, rich floral heart of ylang-ylang and champaca. As it settles, a deep, vintage-style animalic purr emerges, with civet and castoreum blending into amber and musky woods for a strangely clean, yet dirty drydown. It's a complex, multi-layered journey, evolving dramatically from start to finish.
