Memo Paris Abu Dhabi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Mylène Alran. Abu Dhabi opens with Cardamom and Plum, settles into a heart of Date and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vetiver. Memo Paris's Abu Dhabi carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Abu Dhabi is a divisive Middle Eastern gourmand that some swear by as a compliment magnet and others simply call "yuck." It's not for everyone, with its rich, sweet, and occasionally smoky profile, but it definitely sparks conversation.

About

A complex gourmand, Abu Dhabi opens with a burst of sweet plum and aromatic cardamom, quickly evolving into a heart dominated by sticky dates and a metallic whisper of saffron. The journey culminates in a warm, earthy embrace of vetiver and amber, often leaving a distinct smoky trail. It's a syrupy, deeply sensual fragrance that evokes images of opulent Eastern desserts and spiced chai.
