Fleurs Bohèmes - Inlé Memo Paris

The bergamot and mint cut through with almost aggressive freshness, a bright bergapten-forward blast tempered by cool menthol. Within minutes, the mugwort adds an herbal, slightly dusty quality—like brushing past dried botanicals in a bohemian shop. The freshness feels deliberately fleeting, as though the fragrance is already preparing to shed this top-note costume.

By the second hour, the jasmine and osmanthus bloom with considerable richness, the absolutes creating a honeyed, almost intoxicating floral bed. The Mat Absolute reveals itself more fully now—that tobacco-like, slightly resinous undertone that gives the florals an unexpected shadowy intimacy. The mint fades almost entirely, replaced by the warm, skin-like quality of these absolutes working in concert.

What remains is predominantly the Sweet Vernal Grass with musk, a pale golden whisper rather than a presence. The florals fade to barely detectable traces, leaving instead a clean, slightly hay-like dryness with creamy musk undertones. By the fourth hour, it's essentially a skin-scent—beautiful in its subtlety, but one must lean in to appreciate it fully.
