Fresh Memoirs of a Geisha is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Fresh's Memoirs of a Geisha carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This is a floral built on a fruity, citrus-bright start. Bergamot, mandarin and kumquat give a sunny lift, while peach adds a soft, juicy sweetness. Jasmine, rose and iris form the floral core, with iris bringing a smooth, slightly powdery feel. Musk and sandalwood sit underneath, adding a warm, creamy softness. It is a delicate, feminine scent that feels graceful and calm.
