PURE LUXURY FRAGRANCES: The Ultimate Memo BUYING GUIDE!

[@justanotherfraghead]

African Leather is BEAUTIFUL!!! That cardamom pops on my skin and i love it. But i tried Lalibela on your recommendation yesterday and i'm still uncontrollably sniffing the tester strip today - GORGEOUS

[@yemaniagate]

I bought Lalibela after watching your video and receive it today. IT'S STUNING. Thank you so much for your accurate descreption🙂

[@_Palmi]

i own Lalibela and Marfa and wanted to congratulate you for the spot on description.

[@James7995]

Just bought my first Memo, Iberian Leather. This was so nice to watch, thank you for putting this out.

[@GulsahDudaksizoglu]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. You are my number one perfume reviewer. You have a wonderful energy and such an excellent way to express your ideas and feelings about the scents. Lots of love.

[@DasaScent]

Amazing very detailed review and nicely described xx

[@jusderose]

Thank you Dasa 🥰

[@lornamclellan1492]

Informative review for memo Paris. Kept my interest throughout probably because Josephine is very knowledgeable and really knows about fragrances and doesn't "waffle on" like a lot of people on KZbin. Thank you 😊

[@tbsnashe8541]

I just tried Lalibela!! It really does smell so unique! Just like Josephine said I literally think of Daenerys Targaryen from Game of thrones!! She’s right this perfume is one of a kind meant for one type of person its absolutely beautiful but not for everyone or the people who enjoy lighter fragrances

[@sammymug29]

Thank you. You are more detailed than the Memo sales reps in the department stores. 😊😊😊

[@jusderose]

Haha that’s great to hear!

[@hackmed9433]

The way you talk about these perfumes... I want immedietaly order a whole line of Memos.

[@sherillen92]

Lol playing this vid for the 2nd time to know exactly which ones I would like to get😅😂

[@piamuhammad]

Did you get any? I am watching to decide one.....it is between Marfa or Lalibela now...

[@sherillen92]

I got samples for probably all of them 😂 Marfa is extremely sweet for my taste. I liked Lalibela, Siwa and Both Italian and African Leather. The only downside for Lalibela is its lasting power tbh.

[@NellyA2]

@@sherillen92 what!!! 😯😯 Lalibela last forever on me and my skin eats perfume!

[@123tigercub]

I do that all the time. ha ha

My favorites from the Brand: African Rose, African Leather, French Leather and Lalibela.

[@jusderose]

Great picks!

Hi Elzara, I currently use Granada , very beautiful perfume but not long lasting at all. Do you find the ones you have long lasting?

Thank you for such a comprehensive video on this brand!

I’ve been wanting LALIBELA for a long time because of your review. and yes finally my husband bought it for me. And you are right It is a lady boss scent and very sophisticated and unique. Love it so much.It does last long on my skin. It is powdery which I love. Thanks to you. 🙂

[@aromaanalyst9071]

Thank you for this review it’s was very good. It would be useful for you to list all fragrances mentioned in the description as it helps to follow and come back to it.

[@jdeekaye6556]

Thank you, I just blind bought Lailbela yesterday, so glad I did, hope I love it too!

[@Lotsaboddee]

This is the first time watching your channel for me, and I love the way you explain each scent of perfume with specific details of the notes👏 Thanks!😉 Update: Thanks to you Josephine I now own Lalibela, French Leather and Siwa....all individually GORGEOUS and seductive scents!✨

[@jusderose]

Thank you! 🥰

[@pasqualebarra3624]

The radiant smile that constantly lights up your face and the almost childlike joy that vibrates your voice makes you the most lovable perfume reviewer on the web. Professional, exceptionally beautiful and fun, you are number one. I love Memo Paris, I bought 7 fragrances of this brand. My wife is crazy about Ila do Mel! I love Tiger's nest and African Leather.

[@jusderose]

Thank you so much Pasquale! I’m pleased to hear you enjoy my reviews 😊 And I see you have quite the Memo collection!

[@ceciliajunqueira600]

Eau de Memo… here i go !!! Will trust You on this one 🧡

[@juneping03]

I ordered the full bottle of eau de memo which doesn't disappoint...Thank you French leather - I found it to be sophisticated and understated...Very soft and French Wish I could go into a store and try them all Tried Marfa - it's good but sounds familiar Vaadoo? - my least favorite Winter palace - I liked it but too sweet

[@alb91878]

Thank you for the amazing and detailed review! However, I should not have watched this because now I want everything from that house!I've always been attracted to the house because I do like leather notes and I love the fact they play on that note in every fragrance they do, but getting a further in depth review of each one of them..... I have fallen in love even more than I needed to!

[@wildflowers100]

Awesome brand review! 👏🏼 I was so intrigued by your descriptions that I ordered a bunch of samples, and I can’t wait to try them all! 🤩🙏🏼

[@wildflowers100]

UPDATE: Lalibela and French Leather are pure perfection. I see the similarity between Tamarindo and Coco Mademoiselle. My husband said “these smell a lot nicer than the other ones you’ve been testing recently.” I said “honey, you have great taste.” 😂💜

[@adrianavargova]

Definitely! They have so many sample kits too which is great 😊

[@dianabalakireva1785]

Memo is one of my favorite houses ❣️ my first memo fragrance was Marfa , before I bought it I tested it a few times on my wrist and loved it . But I couldn’t wear it on me it was giving me headaches 🙁 I also have Granada , Sintra and last one I bought because you talked about this fragrance so much I was like ok time to go and test it -Lalibela . Omg ! I loved it 😍 thank you so much for your videos 🤗 I really enjoy them 👍🏻🥰 Ps . On my wishlist Inle , ilha do Mel and jannat

[@jusderose]

You have such nice taste Diana! I’m so happy to hear you like Lalibela, it’s such a magical scent and there’s nothing like it out there. I need to get my hands on a Sintra sample ASAP!

[@petarmolnar14]

Bought African Leather like few weeks ago and I love it. So good. Cardamom and spice delicatesse.

[@layladankha3923]

great choice for a man

[@IrregularTangent]

I love this 😍. Even though I have some. You're the best person to do this for memo. Brand ambassador I see that in your future 😊. I wanted your opinion on their agarwood/oud selection which one do you prefer is best from them. I have shams oud. Top 5 from me would be Italian leather, Irish leather, kedu extrait, shams oud, waiting on vadhoo

[@jusderose]

Thank you 🥰 I wish I could be their ambassador one day 😂 I think Memo is by far my favorite niche brand. In terms of the oud ones the only two I tried is Luxor Oud and Shams Oud, the rest I have yet to sniff! And thanks for sharing your top 5 😊

[@marisamountaki]

My favourite from what ive sampled (around 7) are African Leather by far, then Marfa then Tamarindo. Lalibela was really underwhelming for me, smells like Narciso Rodriguez for Her which I don't like.

[@saggiteightyfour8367]

Thanks for the heads up. I have NR for her, loved it initially but now getting tired of it. Smells slightly soapy now.

[@saggiteightyfour8367]

I've got Kedu & Flåm. Wanting to get Irish Leather, Marfa, Sintra and Retba.

[@marisamountaki]

@@saggiteightyfour8367 I've tried Sintra and the opening was very very harsh petitgrain! Not blind buy safe!

[@LaladaBeauty]

I haven’t tried any fragrances from this house. Thank you for providing such an in depth review!

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

I just tried most of the Memo fragrances. I really like African leather. I really liked Inle, but after 2 hours or so I could barely smell it. It reminds me of Nuda Veritas, but this lasts longer. I really liked Moon fever, too, however, the dry down reminds me of Gris Charnel. I’m really thinking to buy Sherwood, the carrot oil in it is so unique. Lalibela and Marfa are quite nice, but a bit sweeter for my taste.

[@gloriafloreva]

Such a surprise! It's like a see a Memo soul mate in you! 🤭 Fist of all, thank you for this great breakdown of the Memo line and collections. ❤ I love most of their creations, I have tried them and wore 4-5 of them. I agree Memo are on another level, really sophisticated and qualitative. I know almost all scents, except for their latest 3-4 releases. I am in love with Marfa, from the first sniff. I waited a lot and finally ordered it and is now my signature scent. (Downside the 75ml bottle is almost gone). The other personal favourite of mine is French Leather and will be my next full bottle. ;) In our collection at home we have Russian Leather and Moroccan very soon. Thanks to your guide I might reconsider some of their other scents, which I decided to pass on back in the days. See you soon and stay healthy! Cheers from Bulgaria🤗

[@DM-nm9dq]

You know what, believe or not, this fragrance house is actually very difficult to find at a store. I'm going to have to purchase some samples to try them out.

[@chrisjackson8042]

Great video. Would love to see the same from Mancera /Montale

[@HoodMtn]

Oh my goodness, I ordered a discovery kit. I’ve only tried Lalibela-I love it. It smells so familiar! I used to use comptoir sud pacifique vanille abricot. Have you tried that? I think that’s what it reminds me of. :)

[@dominicksans7204]

I am wearing winter palace today and it performs very well and feel it is signature sent worthy. In the heat it will perform and not overwhelm

[@jj9501]

So helpfull and informative! Maybe I've missed it but did u talk about sintra? I smelled it for the first time today and fell in love but the scent is almost gone after 3/4 hours. Is this your experience as well? I feel like I want to go and smell all of them after this video 😀

[@snigdhachk91]

The buying guide series is sooo helpful! You have no idea how many times I’ve gone through your Initio guide! I was wondering where to start with the Memo paris line and now I feel I should start with Lalibela. One suggestion would be to add the overall performance of the perfume as well. Lots of love ❤️

[@jusderose]

I’m so pleased to hear it 😊 And that’s a great suggestion!

[@hmh4951]

Fantastic. Thank you x someone recommended Quartier Latin to me, so I was curious about that one in particular. Ps, love your lip colour! What is it?

[@jusderose]

Thank you 😊 my lip colour is from Charotte Tilbury Hollywood liquid lipstick in shade too bad I’m bad

[@Spiralnebel_GB]

After pointing my attention to the great smelling Irish Leather i was interested to know your opinion about Oriental Leather that that has a nice note breakdown too 😃

[@jusderose]

Hmm I’m not a fan of Oriental Leather. There’s something in the scent that smells odd to me

[@Spiralnebel_GB]

@@jusderose Now i sampled Moroccan, Russian and Oriental Leather. To best honest - Oriental Leather is really beautiful and reminds me much of Joyos Psychedelique. I get not much leather but a blast warm ambery Patchouli. That one with the odd smell is Moroccan Leather for me.

Bought the African Leather and Italian Leather last week. Smells amazing !!! Love the buy. Must say not for everyone, 2 sprays and ppl can smell you from a mile away 😅

[@ganbatte1260]

[@olenashkuropatska8917]

I have bought Jannat fragrance by Memo after watching this review. Unfortunately, I was very much upset with the purchase. The scent doesn’t last long on my skin and after just a few hours it is completely gone. It wasn’t worth the money I paid for it either. The fragrance profile is alright, but nothing special in total. I also tried other great fragrances recommended by Josephine anf successfully added some to my growing collection. This particular perfume is a huge disappointment because of its week performance and I won’t keep it 😔

I would say Luxor Oud is so intense with the oud that it's unisex. I would also say the same for Marfa, if you like tuberose. It's also really thick and intense.

Confused.. I have watched this video 3 times over a period of around 3-4 months. But can't decide on which to be zeroed on..!! I am from Mumbai, India and looking for a perfume (unisex), from Memo, that can be wore all the year. By the way Ocean Leather looks interesting to me. Please advise....

[@joannedole]

Thanks for the review. Loving Lalibela and would love to explore more from this house.

[@ritankarsasmal380]

love MEMO, especially leather line. For me though Irish leather is quite challenging n kinda sticky heavy rather fresh due to mate n juniper. But i love Italian leather. It has a potential to be actually a mass pleasing one to some extent. It's like dusty green sweetened leather and similar to some other men's frags i know with minimal differences. Like one is TF vert d'encens etc. May be i am thinking from a male perspective. And for Russian one i feel its more like they tried to create a cold night in forest but leather is not prominent. I agree with u on African leather. I find it too sharp n cloyingly sweet. Testing winter palace these days. liking it . Have u tried Tiger's nest which is my latest fav from the house. It's a beautiful incense scent( kinda mix of serge lutens amber sultan and Montale full incense but with many nuances). Ohh and hv to say ur dressing n overall look is again on point! The leopard print u chose with ur hair looks like a MEMO bottle tbh. :) great job as usual!

[@jusderose]

Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊 I have tried Tiger’s Nest (the bottle sparked my interest, it’s one of the most beautiful ones from the line) but I didn’t like it! Only because I don’t like the note of incense in fragrances, that’s just a personal thing. Have a great end of week!
