NutmegAbout MEMO Paris
Memo Paris is a luxury niche fragrance house founded in 2007 by Clara and John Molloy, built around the idea of perfume as a journey and a vehicle for memory. The brand creates olfactory 'travel notes' inspired by magical destinations and high-quality natural ingredients, with signature collections like Cuirs Nomades that explore leather accords and other evocative notes through specific places. Its style is sophisticated, long-lasting and narrative-driven, appealing to perfume lovers who seek distinctive, story-rich scents that connect travel, emotion and identity.
Perfumer
Aliénor Massenet
Chic and eccentric, Alienor Massenet grew up within a family anchored in tradition. She’s proud of her legacy, but she’s also a liberated perfumer who has no trouble expressing her boundless creativity. Being a dreamy “girl from a good family”, Alienor Massenet shaped her personality as experiences went by, from an English boarding school to the streets of New York. Her freedom is as sacred to her as her roots. Her personality is reflected in her perfumes, which embrace contrasts or unexpected alliances. She also values the opinion of her peers and likes to build lasting relationships with her collaborators. This benevolence towards others is reflected in her commitments. Whenever her work schedule allows it, Alienor runs olfactory workshops for people who have suffered life incidents. At Symrise since 2016, and despite claiming to not have received a chemistry training, this perfumer is mad about molecules and captives, while also being fascinated by new technologies.
