I tried 3 scents by memo. But I didn't like them much. Too weak for my taste. In particular lalibela is too gourmand, reminding a cookie more than a place in Ethiopia as they say. And even this predominant vanilla's note disappear in seconds on my skin.
Memo LALIBELA offers a subtle blend of a variety of oriental components which really smells familiar to me, although I have been unable to pinpoint what fragrance it is most like. Perhaps because the slightly sweet patchouli drydown is familiar enough to remind me of lots of different fragrances.
The opening of LALIBELA is especially nice--a serious wristsniffer with cinnamon and incense mingling together without either one seeming too strong. The flowers almost seem beside the point, as the overall effect veers closer to an oriental gourmand, it seems to me. Both the sillage and longevity are medium on my skin. Definitely worth trying for oriental lovers.
I think this one is a better option(very long lasting) if you love Gucci by Gucci(big brown square bottle with golden necklace). Very sexy perfume, indeed.
Starts with the scent of baking Cinnamon (buns) Roll raw Dough - & loooooots of cinnamon - that's the topnotes! In the heart I get sugar syruped vintage Samsara (Guerlain). Among with sweet scent of coke (coca cola drink) someone left in the heat & forgot to drink, so the carbonic acid fizzines is gone. Base of bitter vanilla mulled red wine (glögg in Swedish) & STRONG tobacco note. Smells very "grown up". Like a bitter-sweet Serge Lutens "Borneo 1834" with a dash of YSL "Opium". Horribly boring bottle-design - totally does NOT fit the scent, how strange!!
Oh, this one is a good one to. As with Sundance it´s hard to actually tell what in it that I like, I only notice that I keep sniffing my wrist all the time. It is floral, a little spicy a little sweet and then there is something almost minty in it... or balmy or almost some kind of chewing gum, but in a good way. The floral notes are really pretty, and the patchouli, incense and tobacco adds a little spice, but only in the nicest possible way.
The drydown is soft and warm, but it is the top and middle notes I like the most, really great. I hope you will give it a try, it´s sure worth it.
I think Sundance was a bit more longlasting, but this one stays one well to, but not amazingly (4 hours at least)
