A Perfumed Tale of Contrasts

Step into the intriguing world of MEM, where fragrant whispers weave a story of complexity and intrigue. Imagine a perfume that dances on the precipice of lavender's quintessence, yet never fully succumbs. Let me take you on a journey through its enigmatic layers.

Five Varieties of Lavender: Like a skilled conductor orchestrating a symphony, MEM blends five distinct types of lavender, but this is no lavender perfume. Lavandula augustifolia from France, along with the others, create a lavender chorus that harmonizes with other botanical notes.

A Floral Ensemble: The stage is set with the entrance of Damask rose and jasmine grandiflorum, wrapped in the sensuous embrace of ylang-ylang. Picture these blooms as the leading actors, their scents intertwining like lovers in an intricate dance.

A Malt Note Mystery: Just as the plot thickens, a bizarre malt note enters, adding intrigue to the narrative. Bourbon vanilla steps onto the stage, offering sweetness, while resins and herbs lurk in the background, casting an enigmatic shadow.

A Woody Twist: Himalayan cedar-wood enters, imbuing the scene with smoky woodiness. Grapefruit adds a fizzy honeyed touch, almost as if the perfume has a fruity secret to share.

The Essence of "MEM": Dive deeper into the name's origins, rooted in water and fertility. Like the Hebrew letter "Mem," the perfume is a palindrome, a circular tale with no clear beginning or end. It embodies both chaos and order, masculine and feminine, darkness and light.

Natural Intrigue: Castoreum and civet, natural ingredients add an exotic twist. They're the enigmatic characters, adding depth to the story.

The Supporting Cast: Jasmine grandiflorum from Egypt, Jasmine Sambac from India, rose Damascena from Bulgaria, and vanilla from Madagascar play their roles to perfection. Ylang-ylang, Bogue's signature benzoin from Thailand, Bourbon geranium from Madagascar, and lavender AOP from Haute Provence contribute their unique essence to the narrative.

MEM by Bogue Profumo is a fragrance that transcends conventional boundaries. It's a story without a clear plot, a frag without a strict category.
