Marfa
Marfa by Memo Paris is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin and peach, moves into ylang-ylang, tuberose and orange blossom and dries down to virginia cedarwood, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
