Memo Paris Ithaque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Marypierre Julien. Ithaque opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Red Currant, Jasmine, Juniper, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Patchouli. Memo Paris's Ithaque carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive freshie that some find incredibly unique and long-lasting, while others dismiss as overpriced and generic. If you love a bold, peppery citrus with a green edge, this could be your next signature - if you can get your hands on it.

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
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, energetic profile makes it a great everyday or casual scent, especially in warmer weather. While it has good performance for a freshie, it might be a bit too bold for very formal settings or a subtle date night, though many note its non-offensive nature for the office.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange

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

Ithaque kicks off with a vibrant jolt of bitter orange and bergamot, sharpened by a trio of piquant peppers. The initial citrus burst gives way to a juicy, aromatic heart where red currant and juniper berries mingle with a subtle hint of jasmine. As it dries, a clean, woody base of cedar and patchouli emerges, keeping the freshness grounded and prolonging its crisp character.
