The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Marfa by Memo Paris, crafted by perfumer Alienor Massenet and launched in 2016, is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of a serene yet captivating space. The scent opens with a bright, fruity accord of peach and mandarin, which gives way to a heart of tuberose and ylang-ylang, creating an intoxicating floral bouquet. This is balanced by powdery and woody notes, including vanilla bean, sandalwood, musk, tonka bean, and cedarwood, adding depth and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Marfa to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it time to develop on your skin before reapplying if needed. This fragrance reads best close to the skin rather than projecting outward.
