Memo Paris - Les Echappées - Manoa

In the heart of Inca country lies Manoa, a city on an island, known for its gold and oppoponax. Legend has it that El Dorado, a young man dressed entirely in gold, would carry peace offerings from his people to Manoa on a diamond-studded boat once a year. He would cross the glassy lake to unload the gifts on Manoa, the island itself formed through the build-up of cumulated gold and other loot until it rose up out of the lake like a hill.

Manoa is a warm and spicy fragrance with a juicy, nectar-like side that radiates a peaceful, golden glow. Creamy, powdery silver iris is surrounded by aromatic ginger, lemon, and bergamot, and laid on top of a creamy, smoky resin base of vanilla and opoponax, precious sweet myrrh that smells like creamy lavender and vanilla.

Notes: bergamot, lemon, ginger, iris concrete, cypress, tonka bean, opoponax, labdanum, vanilla
