The story behind the bottle.
Madurai by Memo Paris, crafted by Gaël Montero and launched as a Bloomingdale's 150th Anniversary Exclusive in 2023, is a captivating blend of white florals and warm spices. The fragrance opens with the brightness of Sicilian bergamot and marigold, leading to a heart that balances Egyptian jasmine, Indian jasmine, and tuberose with a fruity peach note. The base layers of sandalwood and suede create a soft, powdery warmth that anchors the composition. This unisex scent is a celebration of rich floral notes combined with subtle earthy undertones.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its delicate balance of florals and spices to unfold. The fruity top notes are fleeting, so a second application after an hour can enhance the longevity. It pairs well with daytime activities where a touch of floral sophistication is desired.
