The fragrance is simply awful, too thick and resinous. There's sweetness here, but the spices are so overpowering that the sweetness is barely noticeable. Mainly I smell amber, patchouli, and cumin, but it's not pleasing, only depressing. I don't recommend it if you want something pleasant 😒

First, you smell orange mandarin, as if it was just picked from the tree. Bright notes of neroli immediately hit your nose. And then honey with wax appears, as if you found real honeycomb and are tasting it. There's something viscous in the scent, like honey, but at the same time not too cloying, which is a pleasant surprise. Closer to the end, more vanilla and musk are felt, and the sweetness of honey gradually fades. Overall, a quite positive impression, but there's something mysterious about this fragrance 🤔

A perfume positioned as niche makes an interesting first impression. The softness of leather is indeed felt, but, unfortunately, that's where it ends. The magic quickly disappears, and the fragrance hardly develops at all. Sillage? It's simply nonexistent, completely. The scent doesn't last, disappearing after a couple of hours, leaving nothing memorable behind, which is what you usually expect from selective perfumery. It feels like the base of the fragrance is quite cheap. The bottle is also unimpressive, looking quite banal and not fitting the premium segment. The packaging, though brutal, doesn't save the situation, as accessing the bottle requires effort, creating a mass-market feel. The price is clearly inflated, twenty thousand is too much, maximum five to seven thousand, like other brands. This acquaintance with Memo, it seems, will be the last. Good luck everyone! 😕

I'm pretty indifferent to celebrity fragrances; there are some decent options among them. But with the perfumes of this Latin American singer, it's a complete failure for me. The synthetic raspberry in citrus is simply awful, too banal and mediocre

The scent is green and fresh, but I don't feel any soapiness on myself. The musk is quite good, it suits. But the subtlety and coolness - yes, I liked that. Didn't notice any wateriness at all

The scent, yes, is indeed rosy, but I don't detect any patchouli notes. Just rose, sweet, without that tartness I dislike. Honestly though, the fragrance is quite pleasant

Vanilla is appealing, of course, but I don't smell it on my skin. On me, it's more ylang, which I like, but I really wanted *that* vanilla, not its oily version. Samples and decants are great, I got one to try and now I wear the atomizer like a sniffing bottle, not as a scent for myself 😅
