Shams Oud
Shams Oud by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper and ginger, moves into cypriol and cashmeran and dries down to styrax, peru balsam, vetiver and oud. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
Dry-down
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
