Shams Oud

by Aliénor Massenet

Memo Paris Shams Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Aliénor Massenet. Shams Oud opens with Pepper and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cashmeran and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and dries down to a base of Oud, Vetiver, Styrax, and Peru Balsam. Memo Paris's Shams Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't your average oud; it's a statement piece - smoky, woody, and unapologetically bold. Whether you love its sauna-like warmth or find it a tad too much, Shams Oud absolutely commands attention and leaves a memorable trail.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its intense woody and balsamic character, make it less suited for the office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. It's a perfect fit for cooler weather dates and formal events, where its luxurious and bold presence can truly shine without overpowering.

About

Shams Oud opens with a fiery kick of pepper and ginger, quickly settling into a deep, resinous heart where cashmeran and cypriol oil create a unique, almost tarred wood effect. The base is an intoxicating blend of smoky oud, earthy vetiver, and sweet, balsamic styrax and Peru balsam. The overall impression is one of smouldering woods, ancient resins, and a dry, sophisticated warmth that lingers for ages.
