Smell like a rockstar!

"We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel. It's on the ocean I guess you know it well. It took a starry night to steal my breath away. Down on the waterfront her hair all drenched in spray".- The Rolling Stones - Memory Motel

Yes! Memory Motel by @unenuitnomade is tribute to those restless and turbulent times from the lives of legendary @therollingstones ?

This wonderful blend is a great representation of what I would want associate tobacco/vanilla fragrances with - a tobacco fragrance wrapped up in patchouli leaves with just a touch of vanilla, just enough, not overwhelming sweet and cloying vanilla what we see in most tobacco/vanilla fragrances these days.

I get that bergamot in the opening and sorta fine distilled boozy whiskey vibe, not exactly sure what mimic that boozy start but I know I like it! After five minutes I am starting to get that tobacco, smoke, incense, leather, oh yeah, even iris and carnation go big in the dry-down.

Longevity is 5/6 hours on my skin and with medium sillage. Great fragrance! I'm feeling like I've been partying with the rock stars. Love it! ??

nostalgia, but make it extremely cool

Since some of my favourite notes are listed, I had big expectations - and they were absolutely fulfilled.
It opens kind of fresh but it settles immediately as a patchouli-tobacco-leather scent that somehow still manages to be delicate.
There’s something in the iris mixed with warmer notes that always feels extremely nostalgic and emotional to me, and this perfumes is the epitome of that.

This is the perfume of your room in a fresh yet sticky summer night, while you’re sitting on the leather couch where you first made love with the one you know will be the forever the most epic love of your life. Them and their scent are long gone, but the one of the pack of cigarettes you just smoked wondering why and how it all went wrong with them in the end still lingers, even if the floral breeze coming from the bushes in the nearby gardens fights to drag it away.

My only complaint is that, being quite delicate, its longevity is also very ephemeral, but still, not a deal breaker.

Montauk is everywhere 1

Uncommented fragrances No. 120

Montauk is a small town on the eastern tip of Long Island in the USA and is known through the story of the same name by Max Frisch. With a little luck, the village will become even more famous through the fragrance series "Une Nuit à Montauk" by the manufacturer "Une Nuit Nomade". But there is probably the wish of the father of the thought.

Until now, the fragrances of Une Nuit Nomade have received little attention here on Parfumo and have rarely been appreciated in detail. The entire Montauk series still presents itself without comment, and the other fragrances of the brand are not exactly crowded by elites either.

I personally like almost all fragrances and I am now taking the opportunity to do some advertising for testing this exciting brand. All of them are easily available via the homepage; above all, there are test material (two sets) at acceptable prices, which should be consulted urgently before making a blind purchase. The fragrances are idiosyncratic, yet completely uncomplicated to wear, so they do not belong to any kind of avant-garde. This is about wearability on the one hand, but also about distinctiveness on the other hand.

All three fragrances feature two common scent components (Rose America: rose and carnation / Memory Motel: patchouli and carnation / Bohemian Soul, the latest fragrance: frankincense and wood), but they also set new accents by initially not taking the combination for granted (e.g. rose and carnation in a striking form: rather rare) and by adding notes that are rather surprising in this context.

Memory Motel (a melancholic name that immediately brings to mind the Gurney's Inn hotel from Max Frisch's tale Montauk) is as engaging (patchouli) as it is bulky (sweet tobacco): The fresh bergamot prelude contrasts beautifully with the patchouli and the clove and a sweet tobacco note are easily perceived. So the fragrance doesn't come across as smooth, but it's not complicated to wear either, because after a while on the skin or on textile (the fragrance comes across very well in both variants) you think: "Sure, that actually goes together quite naturally For me, this is the ideal case of a fragrance that breaks new ground: combining the unusual in a natural way! The allure of the avant-garde or not: how wonderful it can be when a fragrance is exciting and yet engaging. The appeal of harmony or not: How beautiful can it be when a fragrance offers friction surfaces and you have the feeling of wearing something really new
Memory Motel is not a big deal. I'll give you that. But it is a successful attempt to connect new paths with old coordinates and ultimately lead to a familiar place: Memory Motel.

Sheet change necessary.

Background: Perfumos send me samples, I then test the perfumes sent without any knowledge and describe my response - that of an inexperienced dilettante.

First impression: clove. A bit boozy and whiskey-like, but maybe it's the alcohol. It still has a fresh, citrusy fizz..... But then it's followed by a cloud that makes my facial muscles cramp like a stroke. Oooooh. Watn dat?
Somehow salty, seay, brackish. It must be the combination of patchouli and clove. You might get compliments from Ariel, but probably not from landlubbers. I seriously try to give the fragrance a chance and tell myself that it's complex and that I probably don't know anything about perfume.
15 minutes later, my 6-year-old expert comes in, beams at me with her wobbly smile and wants to test it.
By now I'm delighted when she turns her attention to the matter, usually a reason for fresh cheerfulness. "And what could that smell like?" I want to know and am curious to see what hilarity is about to be unleashed. "It smells like mom's nose ring, a little vanilla and vag*a."
You can't stand the things they say in your head.

Somehow it won't become my signature, but maybe they'll change the sheets at the Memory Motel again soon. Who knows!

Nice and dusty

I had already tested Ambre Khandjar from this range and was skeptical at first. The brand is known for not being stingy with intensity - if a note is listed, you can smell it. And I'm not necessarily a fan of leather. So when I looked at Memory Motel, I could hardly imagine that it was supposed to be a soft musk fragrance, as some claimed. And what can I say? It's definitely not soft but not overpowering either.

The opening is surprisingly light - yes, the bergamot is there, but right from the start there is a hint of where the journey is heading. Then, between the top note and the heart, the fragrance takes an unexpected turn: a hint of musk, sunscreen and sandalwood. Here I was honestly disappointed - beautiful, sunny, almost like a warm embrace, but also generic. Too pleasing. But luckily it doesn't stop at the first rays of sunshine.

As soon as the sun goes down, a dusty, almost mystical cloud of mist rises. And this is where the patchouli comes into play - with this subliminal, dark chocolate character that has something dusty about it. Like a late afternoon on grandma's couch while a forgotten piece of chocolate turns up somewhere in an antique box.

Tobacco and leather creep in later, never dominating, but like muted jazz music in a trendy bar with dim lighting. It is the romanticized version of a moment long gone - but not rough, but elegantly interwoven. And then the clove: spicy, yes, but with a pleasant, almost playful sweetness.

Memory Motel is not a fragrance for everyday wear. But for nights full of stories, for places with character, for times when past and present become blurred.
