Memo Paris Lalibela Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Aliénor Massenet. Lalibela Oud opens with Orchid and Coconut, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tobacco. Memo Paris's Lalibela Oud carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a divisive but ultimately refined oud, with some finding it a masterpiece and others suggesting better value elsewhere. If you're after a delicate, well-blended oud that sidesteps the usual sharp edges, this is worth a sample.

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.

Given its moderate sillage and longevity, this isn't overpowering, making it suitable for a refined office setting, though it truly shines on a date or formal evening. The complex, warm notes make it less ideal for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Lalibela Oud opens with an unusual and delicate blend of orchid and creamy coconut, quickly giving way to a heart of soft rose and jasmine. The real depth emerges in the base, where a subtle, non-skanky oud intertwines with earthy patchouli, warm vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. Frankincense and labdanum provide a smooth, resinous finish, creating a beautifully balanced and almost gourmand-floral impression.
