Granada

Granada by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pomegranate, bergamot and lily of the valley, moves into rose, heliotrope and orange blossom and dries down to jasmine, amber, vanilla and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Pomegranate Tart, juicy and jewel-red. Sharper than most berries.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
