Memo Lalibela Oud: a journey to the heart of Ethiopia

Memo Lalibela Oud is a unisex fragrance released in 2013 by the niche house Memo. It belongs to the Escales Extraordinaires collection, dedicated to the planet’s most remarkable places.

The fragrance belongs to the oriental family and is available as an Eau de Parfum, with a noticeable sillage.

Lalibela Oud is inspired by the ancient Ethiopian city of Lalibela, a pilgrimage site where, according to legend, angels carved 12 churches into the rock in a single night.

The original Lalibela fragrance, without Oud, already told this story, while the Oud version amplifies its oriental character, placing noble oud and resinous notes at the forefront.

It is a true olfactory journey into mystical Africa.

The composition is built on contrasts: fresh citrus notes intertwine with astringent balsams, while a leather accord adds a daring edge.

This unisex fragrance is suitable for both men and women who appreciate deep, multifaceted scents with a story to tell.

Thanks to its richness, it is ideal for the cooler seasons and evening occasions.

If you loved Memo Lalibela, be sure to try this smokier, woodier version.

For similar creations, take a look at Diptyque Vetyverio and Terry de Gunzburg / By Terry Rose Infernale—each explores the theme of the Orient and noble materials in its own way.

Description of the composition

The composition of Lalibela Oud Eau de Parfum features a rich palette of notes: bitter orange, grapefruit, lemon, and verbena create a sparkling citrus opening.

Clary sage and neroli add fresh herbal-floral nuances. At the heart are spicy incense, rose, and patchouli, supported by a leather accord.

The base unfolds with deep notes of oud, vetiver, and subtly sweet tonka bean, creating a long-lasting, sensual trail.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

It's so strange, but I smell such sweetness and florality in this scent, as if coconut and jasmine were mixed in it, but without the typical coconut smell. It's too bright and, in my opinion, too intrusive. Definitely not for me 😅
5/5

The fragrance is simply explosive, sweet, and can really make your head spin. It reminds me of something from the 90s, but I can't quite place it. The longevity is just incredible - one spray is enough to feel it all day. I definitely don't recommend buying it without testing it
