The Gate Fragrances Paris Memories is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Valérie Garnuch-Mentzel.

About

It opens with a bold, juicy burst of black cherry and blackberry, a truly decadent fruity introduction. This quickly gives way to a smoky heart of tobacco and frankincense, beautifully complemented by the creamy, exotic hint of frangipani. The dry down is pure indulgence, a rich symphony of maple syrup and tonka bean, leaving a warm, sweet, and utterly addictive gourmand trail.
