Memo Kotor ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 8 June 2022 7 Comments

French niche line Memo Paris has launched Kotor, a new fragrance in the brand's Graines Vagabondes collection.

The arrival to Kotor is like a proffered secret. It appears, more magical than ever, come nightfall, as its illuminated ramparts reflect a golden halo of honey essence, amber wood, hazelnut, saffron, caramel and Madagascan vanilla in the bay. From the Adriatic Sea, woven between the summits of Montenegro, Kotor is the end point, the ultimate backdrop.

Everlasting flower. At the water's edge and on the slope of the mountain, Slavic and Mediterranean at once, between rose and Tonka bean, rhubarb and jasmine, oud and thyme, it is there, inhabited by the ages and the sweet way of life. Beckoning, Kotor shimmers, Kotor flashes with light. Its tiny streets, squares and palaces adorned with kilim rugs; a kingdom of myrrh, cedar and sandalwood. From its heights, an uninterrupted view over the jagged rocks and isthmi; a hanging garden of clove, maté and patchouli. And so night falls again, for a new dream of musk and leather before the bay.

Memo Kotor is available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Never even saw Flam, the last release, show up in the US, and now Kotor? Need to find out if anyone in North America is actually stocking these.

      They seem slow to get here, but I think they do all get here.

    Since Memo’s main draw is the lavish packaging, I am relieved that I find Kotor’s exterior resistible.

      I love it, but apparently I am able to resist too 🙂

    I like the bottle a lot and the notes sound intriguing. If it gets here, I’ll definitely sample at least.
