Our verdict on Lalibela: Acquired

Lalibela by Memo Paris is a deeply polarising one. Some adore its creamy, sophisticated floral-gourmand sweetness, finding it addictive and elegant. Others find it dated, cloying, even plastic-like - a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Given its strong projection and vanilla sweetness, it’s a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and formal events.

About

Lalibela opens with a rush of bright jasmine and fresh green notes, quickly softened by freesia's gentle powderiness. The heart unfolds into a rich bouquet of creamy white florals - heady ylang-ylang and sweet orange blossom, grounded by a subtle rose and powdery heliotrope. It settles into a warm, inviting base of balmy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and a soft, enveloping musk, creating a sophisticated floral with a gourmandish edge.
