Une Nuit Nomade Memory Motel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Annick Menardo. Memory Motel opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Carnation, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Une Nuit Nomade's Memory Motel carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is polarising perfection: a sophisticated, dusty snapshot of smoky, spiced Havana nights versus a dingy, stale motel room. Some find it comforting and unique, others find it utterly repulsive. Dive in if you're brave enough for a scent that oozes character but won't be universally loved.

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.

Its bold tobacco and warm spicy accords, while elegant, can be quite assertive, making it less suitable for office environments. The intriguing and sensual notes, however, are perfect for dates and evening events, creating a memorable aura.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Opens with a fleeting kiss of bergamot before plunging into a rich, powdery heart of iris and carnation, laced with smoky incense. The dry down is a deeply complex blend of sweet, unlit tobacco, soft leather, and earthy patchouli, with a warm vanilla and oakmoss finish. It's a journey through spice, smoke, and comforting warmth.
