Memo Paris Luxor Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Aliénor Massenet. Luxor Oud opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Oud, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Styrax. Memo Paris's Luxor Oud carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't an oud you'd expect, so ditch the traditional oud-head expectations. It's a surprisingly approachable, fruity-floral blend with just a hint of wood. Expect a lovely, versatile scent that's a crowd-pleaser for many, but a disappointment for those seeking a true oud bomb.

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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, pleasant profile make it suitable for various settings, from casual wear to dates. While long-lasting, its gentle sillage keeps it from being overwhelming in an office, though the amber-oud character might be a bit much for formal daytime events or sport.

About

Luxor Oud opens with a bright burst of juicy raspberry, orange, and mandarin, quickly softening into a sweet, jammy rose heart. Lily of the valley and cypriol add a delicate floral-woody nuance before settling into a warm, balsamic base of gentle oud, labdanum, and patchouli. It's a rich, inviting scent with a subtle resinous depth.
