Memo Paris
Red Island Memo Paris
Red Island by Memo Paris is a unisex fragrance released in 2025. The composition opens with aromatic notes of longoza, bergamot, and Madagascan cinnamon, leading to a heart of coffee, sandalwood, and carrot. The base features bourbon vanilla, Sulawesi patchouli, and tonka bean, creating a scent that highlights both spicy and gourmand facets. The perfume draws inspiration from the flora of Madagascar, particularly the traveller's tree, which is reflected in the bottle design. "It all begins with an aromatic top note, in which longoza, a typical herbaceous plant from the island of Madagascar, takes center stage, exhaling its unique, finely spiced charm. At its heart, a bold coffee extract unfolds, with its woody, toasty, smoky accents. The base note reveals the caressing facet of vanilla, another Malagasy jewel, adding a delicately gourmand touch to the composition. About the flacon: it's called the traveller's tree and it adorns the bottle of Red Island. The unique fan shape of this flowering plant punctuates the island’s landscapes and becomes the distinctive sign of this fragrance. Red Island is a fragrance available exclusively online and in our Boutique Cambon at Paris."
