Memo Paris Siwa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Aliénor Massenet. Siwa opens with Cinnamon Leaf, Freesia, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Heliotrope, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Memo Paris's Siwa carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, to say the least, but undoubtedly intriguing. Siwa is either a soft, sweet dream of vanilla and florals, or a baby wipe nightmare. Definitely not a safe blind buy, this one needs a proper wear-test.

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:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its intimate projection and soft nature make it ideal for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. While pleasant for a date, its lack of bolder character means it won't dominate a formal setting, and it's too delicate for active use.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Cinnamon bark Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Oil from Cinnamon Leaf
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Siwa opens with a soft, clean rush of freesia and narcissus, underscored by a whisper of cinnamon leaf. As it settles, a creamy vanilla takes centre stage, wrapped in powdery heliotrope and a comforting, clean musk. There's a subtle woody element from sandalwood and a touch of balsamic sweetness from benzoin to ground this airy composition.
