Founded in Paris in 2007 by Clara Molloy, a poet of Catalan origin, and her husband John, an Irish globetrotter, Memo imagines fragrance as a travel journal. The house develops its collections around destinations and intense materials, then moves to 24 rue Cambon in 2010, an address that has become its Parisian home.

Memo creates olfactory landscapes inspired by destinations, memories and raw materials selected for their intensity. The house collaborates with perfumers such as Aliénor Massenet, translating its travels into contrasting, richly textured compositions. Its illustrated bottles extend this cartographic vision.

Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Memo fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: African Leather.
