Description
“When Andy Warhol was planning to move near the Hamptons, he admitted to having chosen Montauk for the outdated and slightly kitsch architecture of the Memory Motel (still in operation), with its Tiki, Tudor, and very Motel 6 features. Warhol becomes an anchor point, a lighthouse for an entire generation of artists. He rented his mansion for a summer to the Rolling Stones, who were rehearsing for their tour and pre-recording what would be one of their greatest albums, ‘Black and Blue’, which included the melancholy ballad ‘Memory Motel’. This eponymous perfume is our burning tribute to those restless, turbulent times. An androgynous perfume with notes of tobacco wrapped in patchouli leaves, pierced with a touch of vanilla.” – a note from the brand.

I’m sitting in a bar in old Havana, listening to live music and taking in the atmosphere. Men are smoking high quality cigars, women are dressed in heels wearing beautiful spicy floral perfume. The air is thick with carefree attitude. It’s all mixing into one sultry scent. And that’s what Memory Motel smells like.
Wonderful performance. Perfectly unisex but leans a little masculine. Another masterpiece from Annick Menardo and now it’s on my short list.

Check In..
I think it’s fair to say this smells like an expensive hotel lobby. It’s the smell of white wood ghostly in its splendor but to my chagrin, no vacancies for the bergamot note. Low-key iris markings are throughout making this qualitatively vintage with vanilla used to kindle remembrance. A queen-sized dosage of oakmoss budding with verdancy is detected but suddenly disappears without a trace. In its place, a scantly dressed patchouli note greens its way into the atmosphere followed by a languid amount of leather to help round out what serves to be the chypre experience.
Check Out..
This smells like a better version of Susanne Lang’s Tamboti Wood. A primaveral chypre with good enough robustness to prove your perfume point. Notice I use the word languid to describe the leather. The dysphemism is used to make a strong point about the lackadaisical nature of the leather. The cow hide note tends to be a fan favorite therefore, I felt the need to add my version of veracity in hopes that you’re not caught off guard with said note. The meager usage of incense is like complimentary breakfast. It’s an incentive to make you purchase the fragrance. Overall, this is simple but dare I say upscale.

What a wonderful fragance !!!
I had heard about it and boy did it delivered!
It was love at first sniff. Memory Motel is warm, cosy, comfortable and terribly addictive. Once I had it on my frist I could not stop smelling it.
You can smell tobacco almost instantly, the vanilla is present but is not sweet, it simply makes the fragrance “rounder”. And the leather adds a little animalic touch which finished to win my heart.
One of the best fragrances I had the chance to smell this year. It lasts for hours.

Don’t be misleaded, this is not a vanilla-perfume; vanilla is well present at the beginning with tobacco and patchouli, but in a 15 minutes carnation and leather start to emerge and the vanilla goes in the background and stays there.
I should say this is a tobacco-carnation-patchouli perfume, with a touch of vanilla, cuir and moss.
So beautiful, extreme longevity, strong sillage so be careful in applying.
Absolutely unisex.
