Fragrance information:
Character and history of the fragrance: Memento Mori L'Orfeo is an eau de parfum concentration unisex fragrance released in 2018.
It was created by the British brand Memento Mori, which focuses on expressive compositions with a rich sound and an atmospheric character.
L'Orfeo combines oriental, floral and spicy motifs.
Its character brings together the luxury of an amber trail, the seductive warmth of vanilla and a lively floral contrast, allowing the fragrance to smell different depending on the temperature of the skin and the surrounding atmosphere.
Fragrance pyramid and development: the top notes open with exotic flowers and spices.
The opening is pronounced, spicy and expressive: the floral theme immediately takes on a deeper, richer nuance, and the composition remains noticeable even with a light application.
In the heart, L'Orfeo reveals carnation and lily of the valley. Carnation adds a spicy, slightly vintage facet, while lily of the valley brings a bright floral freshness and gives the fragrance greater volume.
The base is built around amber, vanilla and musk. As it develops, the fragrance becomes softer and warmer, leaving a sweet amber cloud on the skin with a sensual musky nuance.
Sillage and wearability: according to its stated characteristics, L'Orfeo has a very strong sillage.
This is a fragrance for those who enjoy noticeable compositions and prefer perfume that does not dissolve into the background but creates a distinctive space around the wearer.
Its unisex positioning makes it suitable for both women and men.
On one person's skin, it may highlight spicy carnation and dryish florals, while on another it may bring vanilla, amber and musk to the forefront, retaining its overall oriental-floral character.
The composition is particularly suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings and events where a pronounced sillage becomes part of the look.
For the office or a small room, its intensity should be taken into account and a restrained application is advisable.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this fragrance.
Because of its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and assess its development after a few minutes before applying more.
What to compare L'Orfeo with: in terms of mood, L'Orfeo can be compared with Yves Saint Laurent Opium, as well as Jil Sander Sun and Karl Lagerfeld Sun Moon Stars.
These fragrances share an interest in a warm, spicy and noticeable sound, although L'Orfeo stands out through its combination of exotic flowers, carnation, lily of the valley and a sweet amber base.
There is no information about the perfumer who created L'Orfeo, or about a separate collection or other concentrations of this fragrance.
Therefore, the main reference when getting to know it is how it develops on your own skin: that is what will show which facet of the composition takes the lead.
