The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Inle Iris by Memo Paris was launched in 2016 and is crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and artemisia, creating an aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully with the heart's rich osmanthus and jasmine sambac. This floral bouquet is then anchored by the deep, powdery notes of iris and musk, giving it both warmth and depth. Inle Iris is a fragrance that captures the essence of a serene yet vibrant natural scene, where crisp air meets delicate florals.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply Inle Iris to your pulse points and let it develop over time. The aromatic top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the musky base provides lasting warmth. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
