The story behind the bottle.
Palais Bourbon, crafted by Gaël Montero and launched in 2024 by Memo Paris, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that weaves together woody, warm spicy, and smoky accords. The composition opens with a balsamic-aromatic note before settling into the rich warmth of oud and vanilla, creating a scent that feels both intimate and expansive. This fragrance embodies the refined elegance for which Memo Paris is known, offering a sophisticated balance between complexity and comfort.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the balsamic top notes will introduce the fragrance, but it's the base of vanilla and oud that will linger throughout the day. It’s best for cooler evenings or indoor settings where its warmth can truly shine.
