Quartier Latin
Quartier Latin by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, peach and clove, moves into jasmine, rose and violet and dries down to tonka bean, virginia cedarwood, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
