Memoize London Gula is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Gula opens with Orange, Lavender, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Clove, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Memoize London's Gula carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. Initially, it might come across a bit strong or even 'medicinal' to some, but give it time, and Gula will unfurl into a sophisticated, comforting woody embrace. It's a bit niche, a bit 'you know what you're doing'.

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.

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

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • 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

Gula opens with a surprisingly fresh burst of lavender and a hint of orange, quickly cut through by the sharp, green edge of galbanum. As it settles, warm spices like clove and aromatic thyme emerge, weaving through a creamy sandalwood and earthy vetiver heart. A soft, sweet vanilla and musk then anchor it, creating a deep, enveloping finish that lingers beautifully.
