The story behind the bottle.
Aliénor Massenet crafted Lalibela Oud for Memo Paris in 2013, creating a fragrance that balances the richness of oud with the warmth of vanilla and coconut. The composition opens with the sweet, creamy aroma of coconut and orchid, leading into a heart of jasmine, rose, and white florals. These notes are anchored by a base of vanilla, tobacco, patchouli, labdanum, and frankincense, which together evoke a sense of deep, smoky warmth. The interplay between the sweet top notes and the earthy undertones makes Lalibela Oud both comforting and complex.
Apply Lalibela Oud to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth. The coconut and floral top notes are fleeting, so let it settle before venturing out — the base of oud and patchouli will carry the fragrance through the day.
