Launched in 2017 by Une Nuit Nomade, Memory Motel is a Woody Chypre fragrance created by perfumer Annick Ménardo. This composition pays homage to the restless and turbulent times of Andy Warhol and the Rolling Stones at the iconic Memory Motel in Montauk. The scent opens with bergamot before leading into a heart of carnation, iris, and incense. It settles into a base of tobacco, leather, vanilla, oakmoss, and patchouli, creating an androgynous blend that evokes both warmth and smokiness.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
Application Tips
Memory Motel is a fragrance that blooms over time. A single spritz on pulse points allows the smoky base notes to emerge gradually. It pairs well with warmer weather but can also be worn year-round as an intimate, close-to-skin scent.
