Ithaque by Memo Paris is a fragrance that pays homage to the legendary Greek island of Ithaca, known as the home of Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. This Eau de Parfum captures the essence of an epic journey, combining citrus, spicy, fruity, and woody notes to create a unique olfactory experience.

The opening of Ithaque is vibrant and fresh, thanks to the combination of Italian bergamot, bitter orange, and Italian mandarin. These citrus notes intertwine with black pepper from Madagascar, pink pepper, Timut pepper from Nepal, juniper berries, and cinnamon, providing a spicy and warm touch that evokes the excitement of a sea voyage into the unknown.

At the heart of the fragrance, the red currant accord, black currant bud absolute, Cassis Celeste, and Egyptian jasmine absolute add a fruity and floral dimension. These notes represent the richness and fertility of the island of Ithaca, symbolizing the reward after a long journey.

The base of Ithaque is composed of Texas cedarwood and Indonesian patchouli, which provide an earthy and woody depth. These base notes evoke the solidity and permanence of home, the final destination of the odyssey.

Perfumer Marypierre Julien was inspired by her summer memories and the feeling of carefree happiness when creating this fragrance. Her goal was to recreate the fresh, natural feeling associated with fresh almonds, providing a crisp, green, and slightly floral sensation with a delicate milky impression.

Ithaque is a fragrance that invites you to embark on a personal odyssey, exploring new sensations and rediscovering the pleasure of returning home. Its balance of fresh, spicy, fruity, and woody notes makes it a versatile choice for those seeking a fragrance that evokes adventure and familiarity at the same time.

The Ithaque bottle is adorned with a plaque inspired by scenes from everyday life in ancient Greece, where nature flourishes in every corner, reflecting the connection between the fragrance and Ithaca's rich cultural heritage.
