Memo Paris Flam is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Philippe Paparella-Paris. Flam opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Ambrettolide, Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Memo Paris's Flam carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A modern, less indolic take on Alien's iconic jasmine-amber DNA, Flam is likeable, versatile, and undeniably feminine. While some find its price steep for a familiar scent profile, it's a crowd-pleaser that delivers easy-wearing luxury.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally soft, pleasant aroma, often described as 'office friendly,' make it suitable for daily wear. The elegant amber-floral profile also lends itself well to dates and formal events, though its lack of massive sillage prevents it from being a full-on 'statement' formal scent.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a fleeting, refreshing burst of bergamot and orange, soon joined by a subtle herbal hint of clary sage. The heart blooms into a creamy, non-indolic jasmine, softened and warmed by a rich amber and vanilla embrace. As it settles, musky and woody undertones emerge, with tonka and ambrettolide adding a cozy, slightly powdery sweetness that lingers beautifully on the skin.
