The story behind the bottle.
Moon Fever by Memo Paris, launched in 2012 and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that oscillates between freshness and warmth. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of bitter orange, lemon, and grapefruit, followed by the green freshness of lemon verbena and clary sage. This citrus-aromatic opening gives way to a heart of neroli and vetiver, before settling into a base of leather and tonka bean that adds a subtle depth and warmth.
Apply two sprays for a balanced experience — the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The leather and tonka base notes develop slowly over time, so give it at least an hour before layering on additional fragrance.
