Memo Discovery Kit

African Leather belongs to the Memo Paris Cuirs Nomades collection. Inspired by the African continent, this fragrance unveils warm spicy notes of cardamom and saffron over a floral touch of geranium, which mingle with a leather accord to give life to an exceptional wild leather.

Memory

In this original birthplace, where the singing of languages and cultures rises, I hear a voice of Oud and vetiver. A murmur of bergamot and geranium. In front of me, infinite landscapes. Deserts, meadows, patchouli, lakes, oceans, saffron, bush, moss, grapefruit, cedar, savannas, mangroves, cardamom, musk and cumin. Between dry and rainy seasons, I discern a path. I witness a dance. A ballet of dresses and manes, paws and scales, leather, leather, leather. Felines, giraffes, crocodiles, antelopes, elephants, begin an alert choreography. A new song resounds, I listen to the chorus of a continent.

Notes: 

Marfa inaugurates the Art Land collection of Memo Paris. Inspired by artistic destinations, Marfa pays homage to the Texan city famous for its desert and hypnotic sky. White musk, orange blossom and tuberose absolute distinguish this floral fragrance and invite contemplation. 

Memory

Gaze skyward, the desert is forgotten. Tuberose absolute. Mystery, infinity hidden from view, silence beneath the cacti. A slow-motion Western. Vanilla seed. The Milky Way leaves an azure trail, the road, half-cedar, half-sandalwood, rises. Orange blossom absolute. Monolithic shadows, dreamed sculptures or rocky mountains, worlds collide. Agave accord. Still the wind, meld musk with the strident, striped colour of neon light, stir the dust from orange blossom. Heat, drunk on blue, memories. Oil of ylang ylang. Here, life is a storybook. Marfa.

“Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

A perfume of divination and tarotology.  Le Mat, The Fool and Journeyman. Chance, enigma and propulsion. End and beginning. A card of 0 and XXII.  A powerful icon of the Major Arcana, cards of symbols and numbers that portend future and fate.  We must turn over cards and accept fate, walk forward into new futures, lives and loves. We may not have all the tools for survival, but we have hope and defiance.
Le Mat explodes with sweet earth, heaven-sent patchouli anchoring a sensual chypré homage of Rosa Centifolia from Grasse, the strange complexities of immortelle, cloves, black pepper and Egyptian geranium.  A talisman of balsamic blessed absolution that will boldly defend mind and body.

In the 2018 edition of Perfumes The Guide, acclaimed fragrance critic Luca Turin awarded Le Mat a coveted 5 stars.

Exalted vanilla leather. 2 - Tuberose, jasmine and orange blossom merge in sensuality. 3 - White flower elixir accompanied by a precious vanilla pod from Madagascar. 4 - Smoky and woody leather accords reconstructed from oak wood essence and patchouli.

Crafted by the renowned Dominique Ropion, this fragrance is a homage to the allure of Madagascar vanilla, seamlessly blended with an exquisite white floral bouquet. Its heart features the richness of Indian tuberose, the elegance of Egyptian jasmine, and the vibrant touch of orange flower absolute.

David Benedek, the creator of BDK Parfums, draws inspiration from a Parisian fashion show, collaborating with a student from École des Arts Décoratifs to capture the essence of gourmand sensuality. His encounter with Ropion further refined this unique vanilla note, resulting in a fragrance that’s both mysterious and audacious.

Vanille Leather, a unisex Amber Floral scent, is the embodiment of luxury and versatility. Launched in 2023, it opens with the subtle notes of Violet and Pink Pepper, leading to a floral heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, and Orange Blossom. The journey concludes with a profound base of Vanilla, Orris, Benzoin, Leather, Oak, and Patchouli, making it not just a perfume, but an olfactory masterpiece.

The end, limit, closure. Omega is Alfa’s opposite, deriving an aloof elegance and composure from the quietude of its mortality. A leather heart is draped in velveteen layers of Egyptian cumin and white musk. Iris and vanilla add sensual, gourmand allure.
