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, Resins, 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.

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.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
