Café Mémoire

CAFÉ MEMORIE is the perfume of a memory that has stopped hurting. It opens on roasted coffee beans, dark and freshly ground, over the smoke of birch tar and an accord of cold ashes. A creamy accord and the warm comfort of bread soften every edge. At its heart, hot milk and coffee dissolve into one another the way the edges of a memory dissolve: brown sugar sweetens everything that passion, longing and pain had left sharp, nutmeg and clove lend the spice of an autumn evening, and patchouli anchors the composition in something earthy, adult, strong. In the depths, olibanum lifts the fragrance toward the sacred, while tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla settle over it all like fog settling over a Paris street. CAFÉ MEMORIE is for those who have learned that the sweetest memories are the ones we had to let go of.
