Insanely beautiful!

Palais Bourbon is a wonderful, oriental, sweet-resinous, spicy fragrance with an extremely beautiful rose geranium.
The entire composition is truly outstanding.
Anyone who is a fan of the Memo Paris brand knows what this brand always delivers and yes, this new fragrance is simply good again!!!

We get a great spice from cardamom and subtle pepper. But the pepper is not at all sharp, penetrating or anything else. Simply super pleasant and pleasantly incorporated. The pepper harmonizes perfectly with the cardamom.

We also have a wonderful rose geranium throughout the fragrance.
I'm actually not a big fan of rose or rose geranium.
But here it is simply excellently crafted.

The whole thing is then encased in sweet, resinous impressions with balsamic notes.
A mix of vanilla, tonka bean, cinnamon, benzoin and Peru balsam.
It already sounded to me beforehand that it must smell good and yes, it does!
In addition, pleasant incense also sets in over time.
No ecclesiastical incense at all for info.
The incense is really very pleasing and it fits perfectly with the rest of the fragrance's accords.

I really like it!
I am also simply a fan of Memo Paris.

Silent Night Chapel Blues

Anyone who has ever been to the Silent Night Chapel in Oberndorf near Salzburg during Advent can testify that it is one of the most beautiful and calming moments of the winter season.
Not only is the chapel dedicated to the memory of the Christmas carol Silent Night, Holy Night and its lyricist Joseph Mohr, but it also leaves a very beautiful and impressive impression when you look at it covered in snow on a crisp, crystal-clear night.

Under the coat here is nothing other than the Palais Bourbon, which is one of the most beautiful new arrivals and is so well adapted to the winter temperatures that it is already mentally settling into the white snow when you put it on.

Powerful tonka bean, underpinned by a warm, smoky note, which is impregnated with finely ground spices such as cinnamon, vanilla buds and cardamom. A lovely sweetness that glides into the whole, blending the whole into a thick, powdery cream. Everything is gently touched by earthy, warm patchouli. Snowflakes cloud the senses, the fireplace crackles in the background. Light balsamic notes of vetiver complete the whole. Always accompanied by this gentle, warm and smoky note. The heart is full of creamy tonka bean, which really fits in wonderfully here. A smoothie for the winter, you would think. And it is! It also has a very long shelf life. The heart of winter breathes under a thick woollen coat.

But it's pretty uncomplicated and doesn't undergo any major changes. On the contrary. It is simply smooth. It glides slowly over warmed skin before heading out into the cold. The bottle is also a real feast for the eyes, but the motif doesn't really match the contents. A snow-covered chapel would probably be a better choice. Palais Bourbon is undoubtedly a winter fragrance. Invites you to linger, the
Silent Night chapel blues.

Absolutely successful, Memo! Chapeau!
