The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Memo Paris and crafted by Gaël Montero, Madurai is a floral fragrance that balances the brightness of white florals with warm spices and powdery notes. The scent opens with an aromatic and fruity bouquet before settling into a heart of tuberose and a base that combines sweet spiciness with woody undertones. This composition captures the essence of a vibrant, multifaceted urban landscape where natural beauty meets modern sophistication.
Apply Madurai with two sprays to allow the warm spicy notes to blend with the white florals and powdery base. The scent blooms gradually over an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout your day.
