INTRODUCING CAPPADOCIA BY MEMO PARIS
"The travel is the destination" is Memo's motto: the time of the journey is an integral part of the experience; it is essential for the encounter with beauty to occur. Creating a perfume is part of the same movement; it is also a matter of patience and high standards in order to achieve the desired olfactory landscape. It is faithful to this vision of beauty that Memo redraws the map of a sensitive world rich in emotions, by creating a unique olfactory world map.
An ambery and spicy fragrance by Gael Montero, being part of our Graines Vagabondes collection.

The Rose absolute comes from the region of Isparta in Türkiye. Located between the Burdur and Egyrdir lakes, Isparta region owes its reputation to the abundance of roses growing in gardens buts also in terraced fields. Mountains allow to block too cold or too hot air stream. Roses are locally named« Summer Damasks. - Gael Montero
In Cappadocia, at the heart of Türkiye, the earth retains the memory of an unblemished emotion, a shiver of saffron, sandalwood and myrrh surfaces on the skin. Impressive, ancestral formations rise up like exclamations to the sky.They are known as ‘fairy chimneys’, natural pillars of soft, friable rock shaped by volcanic eruption, the passage of time and the weathering of the elements.
They watch over the mountains, craters, plateaus and gorges, over the underground and cave-dwelling cities. The palette of Cappadocia is organic, carnal: white jasmine, ochre benzoin, Turkish rose, gold vanilla and tawny sandalwood. Come nightfall, a purple iris arrives and then the chimney tops secretly open, releasing the caressing perfume of flowers, resins and woods: a message to the stars. A multi-coloured hot-air balloon appears on the horizon; the passengers in its basket sail above the landscape’s varied facets, swept away by its airy, scent-filled beauty.
The fragrance Cappadocia makes this a dream come true.
