Eau de Parfum Red Island

Longoza from Madagascar

The largest island in the Indian Ocean takes its stage name, the Great Red Island, from the fiery red soil that catches the eye in every direction. Its scenery presents a grand spectacle: from north to south, nature abounds with inventive geological formations, fantastical vegetation, flowers, animals, and wild archipelagos. The traveller's tree is here to guide you: its fronds, shaped in a majestic arc similar to a peacock’s train, have inspired the motif of a Memo Paris fragrance for the span of a tropical dream. It beckons to be used as a fan, for you to cool off a bit under the blazing sun, and suddenly feel the air fill with a unique scent, the scent of Red Island, which rolls out a red carpet for ingredients inseparable from the Malagasy land. Longoza, a wild plant that flourishes on the riverbanks here, produces a fruit also entirely dressed in red, with an essence that is spicy like cardamom, aromatic and lemony like ginger. Cinnamon wields its balsamic and amber charm, while vanilla becomes precious and enveloping. To accompany them, other guests add to the enchantment: coffee extract, tonka bean and sandalwood absolutes, oils of patchouli and carrot seed. They lead to the creation of a nuanced fragrance that sculpts an olfactory landscape beyond the carmine vertigo, reflecting the purple, brown, green, turquoise, and gold hues that illuminate Madagascar.
