The story behind the bottle.
Red Island by Memo Paris, launched in 2025 and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, is a warm and spicy woody fragrance that evokes the rich, comforting essence of a distant land. The composition opens with longoza and cinnamon, creating an immediate sense of warmth and spice, before giving way to a heart of coffee and bergamot for a balanced contrast. The base notes of sandalwood, carrot, vanilla absolute, patchouli, and tonka further enhance the depth and complexity, making it a scent that feels both familiar and exotic.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth. The spicy top notes are brief but impactful, so aim for a moderate amount to ensure the woody base develops fully throughout the day.
