Memo Paris Inle EDP

Description

Inlé is one of Memo Paris's earliest fragrances, launched in 2007 and named for Inlé Lake in Myanmar, where stilt-house villages float between sky and water. Perfumer Aliénor Massenet built it around tea, osmanthus, and fig for a quiet, green-floral scent meant to bottle stillness rather than spectacle.

Scent Character

Inlé's fragrance record doesn't carry a numeric accord breakdown, so here's the honest qualitative read: it's a Floral Green, tea and neroli up top, osmanthus and fig at heart, maté and violet underneath. Soft and contemplative rather than a projector.

FAQ

How long does Inlé last?
Moderately: 4–6 hours close to the skin is typical; it's an intimate scent rather than a loud projector.

Is it a men's or women's fragrance?
Marketed for women, though the green-tea-and-fig profile wears comfortably as unisex.

Is there real oud or leather in it?
No. Inlé sits outside Memo's leather lines entirely; it's a floral green built around tea and osmanthus.

What season suits it best?
Spring and summer. The soft, green-floral character can get lost in cold-weather layering.
