Zante
Zante by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with petitgrain, mandarin and bergamot, moves into neroli, rosemary and lavender and dries down to patchouli and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
