About the Fragrance
A arid tuberose as singularly
inspired as the West Texas oasis whose name it bears. Marfa, the new
scent from MEMO, captures the elusive totality of this small, isolated
city- modern art mecca, historic frontiertown, legendary nexus of
paranormal and extraterrestrial activity- melding the glowing warmth of
desert twilight with surprisingly sweet florals and modern musks to
paint a portrait of a locale that straddles regions, cultures and time
itself.
Marfa opens with an immediate punch of orange blossom and
tuberose, fruity and sweet but also surprisingly dry, imbued with
surreal weightlessness. A highway of dry, gently smooth woods stretches
ahead of us, and the haunting lights of the creamy, musky base glow with
quiet intensity. The notes don't seem to make sense together, and yet
the collective impression is undeniably cohesive, a place that shouldn't
exist and yet thrives, replacing the logic of the rest of the world
with something distinctive, alien, and unexpectedly beautiful. Equal
parts austere and unabashed, bold and understated, challenging and
downright lovely, Marfa isn't meant to be understood- at least, not
until you find yourself deep in its heart, and realizing that you never
want to leave.
