MEM by Bogue is a captivating Oriental Fougere fragrance designed for both women and men. Launched in 2017, this complex and intriguing scent was crafted by renowned perfumer Antonio Gardoni. MEM blends a variety of aromatic and oriental elements, creating a fragrance that is both bold and sophisticated, with a unique twist on the classic fougere structure.
The fragrance opens with an explosion of lavender in various forms—lavender, lavender extract, wild lavender, and blue lavender—enriched by the bright and zesty notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, and petitgrain. This vibrant combination of fresh and herbaceous notes sets the stage for the intriguing heart of the scent.
As MEM develops, the heart reveals a rich and diverse blend of ylang-ylang, champaca, malt, laurels, mint, damask rose, bourbon geranium, and vanilla. These middle notes create an exotic, floral, and slightly sweet composition, adding layers of complexity and depth.
The base notes provide a warm and animalic finish, with castoreum, civet, musk, ambergris, Siam benzoin, amber, labdanum, Himalayan cedar, palisander rosewood, and sandalwood blending harmoniously. This deep and resinous base gives MEM a lasting, sensual character that is both comforting and provocative.
