Quartier Latin by Memo Paris, crafted by perfumer Alienor Massenet and launched in 2012, is a woody-amber fragrance that captures the essence of an iconic Parisian neighborhood. The composition opens with peach and cardamom, creating a warm aromatic tension before giving way to a heart of jasmine and rose. Sandalwood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and amber form a rich base that reads as a blend of powdery warmth and subtle spiciness.

Application Tips
Quartier Latin has a slow build, so apply it liberally on your pulse points. The aromatic opening notes will fade within an hour, but the powdery and woody base notes will linger throughout the day.
