Memo Paris Manoa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Manoa opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cypress, Iris, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Labdanum, and Opoponax. Memo Paris's Manoa carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Manoa is a divisive but ultimately rewarding oriental. Fans adore its 'modern Shalimar' vibe, a rich opoponax and vanilla bomb, while others find it too powdery or sweet. It's a bold choice, certainly not for everyone.

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.

About

Manoa opens with a fleeting citrus-ginger sparkle, quickly giving way to a rich, resinous heart. Cypress and iris blend seamlessly with the star of the show: opoponax, which weaves through the composition from heart to base. As it dries down, a warm, slightly powdery vanilla and tonka bean emerge, softened by labdanum, creating a deep, sweet, and comforting amber accord that lingers beautifully.
