French niche line Memo will launch Cappadocia, a new fragrance in the brand's Graines Vagabondes collection.
Here, 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.
Additional notes include mahonial.
Memo Cappadocia will be available in 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

Cappadocia is one of the lovliest places I have been, however it smelled not of Turkish rose.
Memo prices are just too high, methinks. I loved when they did the travel size but won’t buy a full bottle of any of their fragrances any more
Yes. I won’t even buy samples, anymore. I’ve tried maybe 10 Memos, and my takeaway was agitate, “nice, but I can easily resist at that price point.”
They are not cheap.
This one does sound really nice but so far I have never found one I needed either.
I love Tiger’s Nest, but that is really the only one that sticks with me. At least one was a scrubber. There is a variability among their offerings that make me hesitate, for sure.
