Argentina
Argentina by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper and ambrette seed, moves into rose, sambac jasmine and magnolia and dries down to oud, cypriol and benzoin. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
