Memo Paris Tiger's Nest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner. Tiger's Nest opens with Absinth, Lime, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Amber, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Vanilla, and Tolu Balsam. Memo Paris's Tiger's Nest carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Tiger's Nest is a polarising scent - people either absolutely adore its intense, sacred atmosphere or find it too overwhelming and medicinal. If you're after a serious temple-like incense bomb, this could be your new signature, but definitely don't blind buy.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its heavy amber and incense accords, make it too potent for an office setting. It's best suited for evenings out or formal events where its unique, bold character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.

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 an effervescent, almost boozy swirl of aldehydes and absinth, cut sharply by lime. This invigorating start mellows into a rich, powdery heart where amber and churchy frankincense dominate, interwoven with hints of osmanthus and saffron. The drydown settles into a smooth, warm balsamic base of tolu and vanilla, with a dry papyrus edge, maintaining a persistent and distinctive incense presence throughout.
