Memo Paris Palais Bourbon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Palais Bourbon opens with Geranium, Pepper, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Resin, Cedar, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Memo Paris's Palais Bourbon carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Palais Bourbon is a divisive heavy hitter - some find it an intoxicating, luxurious spice-bomb masterpiece, others a confused, synthetic hodgepodge. Best for those who crave a rich, warm scent with serious presence.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a heavy, projecting fragrance that lasts for ages, making it unsuitable for the office where subtlety is key. Its warm, sensual amber and spicy accords are perfect for romantic dates and formal evening events, especially in colder weather. Casual wear is generally too much given its intensity.

About

Opens with a vibrant, fiery burst of cardamom and cinnamon, quickly enveloped by resinous amber and warm vanilla. As it settles, a complex blend of balsamic woods emerges - cedar, guaiac wood, and patchouli - warmed by incense and just a hint of creamy sweetness from tonka and vanilla. The oud is subtle, allowing the spices and resins to take centre stage, creating a deep, enveloping aroma.
