One of the most popular lines in the blue genre, with a clean, versatile, and mass-appealing profile. It was released in 2010, the first release from Chanel since 1999's Allure Homme. Created by the now retired master perfumer Jacques Polge, a Woody Aromatic fragrance, it blends traditional masculine notes with a contemporary, citrusy freshness. It opens with an sharp, energetic burst of grapefruit, lemon & mint, accented by the subtle heat of pink pepper. This opening is fizzy & bright, with an immediate sense of cleanliness. As it transitions into the heart, the citrus softens to make way for a spicy aromatic blend of ginger, nutmeg & jasmine, which adds a nice layer of warmth. The dry-down is where the fragrance reveals its woody character, settling into a smooth foundation of New Caledonian sandalwood, cedar & vetiver. An infusion of incense & labdanum gives the base a smoky, slightly resinous depth. For an edt, it performs rather well, lasting almost 6 hrs with good protection for the first 90m. After this it becomes more of a intimate scent. Its equally effective in a formal office setting as it is at a casual gym session. While it can be worn year-round, its bright citrus profile makes it particularly shine during the spring & summer months. Whether you are dressing up for a black-tie event or heading out for a weekend brunch you can't go far wrong with this. My Rating 7/10 Scent 2 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

Memo Paris is one of those houses that really pulls me in.There’s something about the way they do fragrance that feels a little like escaping somewhere else in a bottle. Whether it’s the fresh tea and citrus scents or the darker leather and woodier ones, the house has a style that feels rich, memorable, and transformative fragrance experience in my scent growth. I’ve been spending more time with Memo lately, and now I’m curious what everyone else thinks. What’s your favorite Memo Paris fragrance? If you could only keep five from the house, which five would you choose? Have you tried others that aren’t as popular and think it should be? I’d love to know which one really stands out to you and you would love to own or own and love as well.

Good evening everyone. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Been awhile since I wore this. Wore it to church.
