French niche line Memo Paris will launch Inverness, a new fragrance in the brand's Fleurs Bohèmes collection.
It leads to deep forests, bare moors, wooded valleys, mossy reliefs, waterfalls, meadows, castles, ruins or other manors. And to a lake where the unknown ripples. It is called Inverness, and this Scottish town at the mouth of the River Ness knows all that nature can, knows all that it owes her.
Time flows here, dense and discreet like Amyris wood. It fills the space, and with it, sandalwood, cedar, guaiac, a touch of mate absolute, and a powdery orris butter accentuate its luminous and enveloping presence. Memo’s fragrance guided by a deep and subtle woody conviction, which keeps its mystery intact, to which we return, as if magnetised.
Memo Inverness will be available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

I’m going to have to try this one — sounds lovely.
It really does!
This goes on my sample list for sure! But I just wonder why they put it’s in the “Fleurs Bohèmes” collection, when the closest it comes to a floral note is orris butter.
I guess maybe they’re counting the iris as a floral note? Or, there are unlisted flowers 🙂
Always a possibility! 😆
I, too, am guided by a deep and subtle woody convention. Will have to try this one!

I’m having a weird reaction to this. It seems it’s relying on some romantic picture of “Inverness” which stems mostly from the name. I’ve been there several times and was not impressed. It’s kind of a nothing place (apologies to those who love it), especially in contrast to the places one has probably been to or is going home from on the way there–Loch Lomond, Skye, the Highlands, Edinburgh, etc. A lot of the Memo names appear to aim at conjuring up some sort of aura or mystique of place, and this one falls flat for me.
I have never been, so the romantic notion works for me!
The fragrance sounds lovely, but the bottle looks too much like Burberry, imo.
