Inverness
Inverness by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with orris butter and mate, moves into sandalwood and amyris and dries down to cedarwood and guaiac wood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
Heart
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amyris Soft, sweet, sandalwood-adjacent. Often stands in for the real thing.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
