Memo Paris Luxor Oud (2012)

Memo Paris

Luxor Oud

About

A vivid fruity-oriental scent where raspberry and citrus quickly meet rose and the dry woody nuance of cypriol. In the drydown, oud, labdanum, and patchouli leave a warm resinous trail. It feels expressive and especially beautiful in cooler air.

Luxor Oud by Memo Paris opens with a juicy flash of raspberry, mandarin, and orange, where fruity freshness is immediately wrapped in a warm oriental undertone. In the heart, rose feels soft and velvety, while lily of the valley brings a cool, transparent light. Cypriol then guides the composition toward a drier, woodier direction. In the base, oud meets labdanum and patchouli, creating a dense resinous-woody trail with a slightly leathery shade from styrax. The contrast between the bright opening and the dark base makes the scent layered and expressive. It wears especially well in the evening and in cooler weather, when resins and oud feel fuller.
