About
Inlé by Memo Paris is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. Inlé was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet. Top notes are Tea, Neroli Essence, Bergamot and Cardamom; middle notes are Osmanthus, Jasmine Sambac and Fig; base notes are Mate, Musk, Violet and Cedarwood. On Inlé Lake, in the heart of Myanmar, life is lived on the water. The view is unobstructed, sounds ricochet between the water and the sky, and come nightfall, the taste of silence is a rare, almost unknown delicacy. This is an eau de parfum that prolongs the dream of drifting on fragrant waters made of notes of Jasmine, Mate and Osmanthus.Osmanthus is largely native to China, where its flowers are harvested by hand and kept in salt water with pieces of oak to obtain an absolute with milkier facets not revealed by the fresh flowers. Its fruity quality tinged with leather sways alongside the herbaceous maté absolute with floral facets of mimosa and jasmine sambac absolute whose fresh blossoms are hand-picked in India and then immediately processed to retain all of their delicate and voluptuous qualities.
