Memo Paris describes it as fire and ice.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lemon, bergamot and a pinch of clove open it sharp and bright; a heart of red tea, maté and orange blossom turns it soft and infused; then benzoin, labdanum and vanilla settle underneath like cream stirred into the cup. Composed by Aliénor Massenet in 2019, it is classed as an aromatic green rather than a gourmand, and the finished effect is close to a warm citrus tea, comforting without being sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA note on the name:\u003c\/em\u003e despite the imperial-Russian associations the title suggests, Memo's own account places the inspiration in China and its imperial palaces.

There's no Siberian pine, birch tar or heavy church incense in it. The composition is citrus, tea and soft resins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it actually smell like tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, recognisably so. Red tea (rooibos) and maté sit at the centre of the composition and stay legible for most of the wear, with lemon and bergamot above them and a creamy benzoin-vanilla base underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSix to eight hours with soft, close-to-skin sillage. The citrus opening is the shortest-lived part; the tea and benzoin do the work after the first hour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it for men or women?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnisex, and genuinely so. There's no powdery-floral or sharp-aromatic tilt either way, a citrus tea with a creamy base reads well on anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Memo Paris","offers":[{"title":"2.5 oz \/ 75 ml Retail Bottle","offer_id":50902989504767,"sku":"3700458603217","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1mL Sample","offer_id":50902989537535,"sku":"1-0307","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5mL Sample","offer_id":50902989570303,"sku":"5T-0307","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mL Sample","offer_id":50902989603071,"sku":"10-0307","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/6854\/5535\/files\/2_6e27d400-9d1a-48e5-89eb-5b5b28d12161.png?v=1793694590","url":"https:\/\/scentverseoo.store\/products\/memo-paris-winter-palace-edp-2-5-oz","provider":"ScentVerse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
