The story behind the bottle.
Retba by Memo Paris is a warm and spicy Oriental fragrance crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet in 2020. The composition opens with the fresh spiciness of pink pepper and ginger before leading into a heart of rose and oud, creating an intriguing tension between sweet fruitiness and smoky depth. The base notes of amber and vanilla offer a comforting warmth that anchors the fragrance, making it both complex and inviting.
Apply Retba in layers for the best effect. Start with a light spritz to allow the top notes to unfold before adding another layer as they fade. This fragrance blooms slowly over time, so patience is key.
