About This Perfume
Quartier Latin by Memo Paris is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Quartier Latin was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet. Top notes are Peach, Cardamom and Clove; middle notes are Violet, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Cedarwood and Amber. The Latin Quarter forged its character in contact with books, counters and night-owl moods. An artistic, original fragrance that Tonka bean and amber render even more inhabited. Paris is a fete and the artists are its stars. They meet in the Quartier Latin, the gathering place for youth and Bohemians, dreams of paper, romance and colors. Stone, slate and zinc are pieced together like a jigsaw beneath the Paris rooftops. The scent of book pages melts with jazzy airs. Behind each half-open door hides a stolen kiss. Quartier Latin, intermingling, cedar, sandalwood, giddy with freedom, tonka bean, radiantly yoked by amber. Heart of Paris that flutters in a latin fire.
