Made in Italy

MEM is a rare and innovative perfume that truly escapes repetition and typecast, and seldom can a perfume boast such an attribute. Without doubt, MEM is a lavender fragrance, overdosed and carried to the highest of heights so to see it anew. Lavender has always been the heart of the fougere category, exploiting its olfactory range by bringing its contrasts forward, playing out in hot-and-cold, cool-and-warm currents in overlap. In MEM, Gardoni respects these contrasts but does without their overlap, instead sequencing great difference and contrast along the development of the scent in a meticulous fashion. A great sense of progression defines the experience of this perfume, all the better as each movement is a surprise - thanks to the huge note list attached to this fragrance’s formula. An initial convergence of floral, spice, wood, and animal notes becomes a melodious flow arranged to perfection. It is a complete fragrance: a landscape filled with lavender and seen through a stereoscope. Whatever your choice of metaphor - it is akin to an experience perceived from the ideal position, so everything is on display, and nothing is missed. MEM’s sparkle up top, its raspy and camphoraceous heart, to its floral base or animalic background - every texture, every facet, indeed every possibility - all are stupefyingly well-delineated in this scent.
