The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Aliénor Massenet crafted Winter Palace by Memo Paris in 2019, blending a bright citrus-aromatic opening with warm spices and vanilla to create an intriguing contrast. The lemon and bergamot notes dance atop the spicy clove and red tea, before settling into a heart of orange blossom that softens the composition’s edges. The base of benzoin and labdanum adds a rich amber warmth, making this fragrance feel both fresh and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly to let the contrast between its fresh top notes and rich base develop naturally. The lemon and bergamot are bright but fleeting, so layering with a touch of the vanilla base will ensure a balanced experience throughout the day.
