Woody scent with some sweetness
Sandalwood opening that has slight sweetness from the black currant. A spicy wood that smells like fresh cut saw dust. Florals are tucked away and add softness to the overall scent. Scent becomes milky and creamy over time.

Overall, it's an oud wood type scent that has a pleasant sweetness alongside the other wood notes.

From garden walk to SPA area / flowery-soapy afternoon - OVERRATED or NOT?
... these are the impressions conveyed by the Sherwood from Memo Paris!

The opening starts off rather spicy, whereby the pepper and the wood accords from the "dried fruits" can be clearly perceived. Later on, these notes subside and the fragrance becomes increasingly soapy and floral. The iris, cashmeran and rose notes are particularly striking in the drydown.

But that's NOT all. The bottle is, as we know it from Memo Paris, a total grenade & stands out from any collection with its size and sophisticated design.

However, this does not justify the price of the fragrance! Unfortunately, the sillage is rather mediocre for this price range, which can also be transferred to the durability. It projects well for the first 3 hours, after that it is only perceptible at close range. On me, the fragrance lasts almost exactly 7 hours, which is not particularly famous for the niche segment.

If you really like Prada L'Homme and have no problem paying twice as much for a slightly better fragrance - go for it.

For everyone else, I would advise against it - only buy niche fragrances that offer you the extravagance you pay for!

Milk with nuts
This fragrance opens on my skin with nuts accords. In 2 hours I hear milk with wood. It is a sympathetic and pleasant milk scent. Unfortunately, the longevity of the fragrance is not very long - around 3 hours on my skin, and then completely gone. For the milk perfume lovers, I would rather recommend "Fleurs Bohèmes - Marfa (Eau de Parfum) | Memo Paris" or Blanche Bête - Eau de Peau or Love Tuberose. They are more bund with the fragrance notes, keep almost all day on the skin, and have the stronger sillage.

Sure, wood
Memo perfumes usually come with a full-blown theme built around them. The name, the artwork, and the backstory are all aligned to set the mood in support of the fragrance. In this case, the concept refers to the age-old forest Sherwood, home of the outlaw Robin Hood. This directed my expectations towards dark greens and heavy woods, undergrowth, lichen and fungus. None of this came true.

Sure, there is sandalwood in here, which becomes more and more recognizable after the floral-musky top notes fade. But this is as soft and mellow as a sandalwood can get. Mildly lactonic, a bit powdery from the violet. Probably the cashmeran plays a major role in creating this velvet-soft texture. No strong flavors or dark-green colors that evoke forest vibes. Soft spice, soft pink florals, soft everything.

For a Robin Hood interpretation, this stays way too harmless and risk-free. Say, the Disney cartoon rather than the Kevin Costner or the Russell Crowe movie. However, if we were to forget this context altogether, then I guess this is actually quite an easy-going, mellow sandalwood with a rosy floral background. Not bad, just out of sync with the overall theme.

Sweet notes are so thick on the wood that there is a tart, creamy impression of almond milk. The density of the sweetness makes it too heavy
