Menorca
Menorca by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, ginger and lemon, moves into neroli, iris and carrot seed and dries down to musk, sandalwood and mineral accord. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
