Memoize London Vita is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Vita opens with Pepper, Cardamom, Saffron, and Apple, settles into a heart of Milk, Rose, Violet, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Memoize London's Vita carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a definite no from us, and frankly, from most people who've sniffed it. Vita is a muddled, cloying fruity mess that smells far too much like 'wet diaper' for polite company. Steer clear.

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

Given the universally negative and somewhat offensive reviews, this fragrance is unsuitable for any occasion. It's reported to be a scrubber, meaning the wearer will want to remove it immediately.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Vita opens with a chaotic jumble of overripe fruits - think bruised apples, strawberries, and raspberries - overwhelmed by a sticky sweetness, undercut by a hint of pepper and cardamom trying to cut through the noise. What follows is an odd, powdery heart of rose and violet, with labdanum and frankincense attempting a serious turn, but it's all drowned in a milky, synthetic-feeling base. Vanilla, sandalwood, and musk offer a soft landing, but it's too little, too late.
