Memo Paris Marfa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Aliénor Massenet. Marfa opens with Mandarin and Peach, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Memo Paris's Marfa carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Marfa is a creamy, sweet tuberose powerhouse that splits opinion. You'll either adore its rich, white floral swagger or find it a bit too much, even headache-inducing. It’s certainly got staying power for those who fall for its captivating charm.

About

Marfa opens with a surprising green sharpness that quickly mellows into a velvety embrace of white and yellow florals. Tuberose takes centre stage, creamy and heady, bolstered by the sweet, honeyed warmth of ylang-ylang and orange blossom. As it settles, a smooth, slightly powdery vanilla and tonka bean melt into a woody sandalwood and cedar base, underscored by a clean, lingering musk. Peach and mandarin lend a fleeting, subtle fruitiness to the initial spray.
