Product description

Discover Lalibela by Memo Paris, an Eau de Parfum inspired by the historic Ethiopian city of Lalibela, presenting a mystical floral composition of rose, jasmine and orange blossom over patchouli, vanilla, musk and an evocative incense signature.

The fragrance opens with freesia, green notes and fresh jasmine, creating a luminous floral introduction. Its heart reveals orange flower, ylang-ylang, rose and heliotrope, before the composition settles into patchouli essence, vanilla and musk for a warm, powdery and softly enveloping trail.

Memo Paris describes Lalibela as the scent of “joyous fervour”, inspired by the mysterious Ethiopian pilgrimage city located more than 2,500 metres above sea level and renowned for its rock-hewn churches. The Maison highlights rose, frankincense and patchouli as materials that prolong the fragrance's mystical atmosphere.

The fragrance was created by Aliénor Massenet. Memo Paris states in its official brand history that Massenet signed the Maison's first fragrance, Lalibela, in 2008, while Fragrantica records a 2007 launch. For catalogue accuracy, the launch is best listed as 2007–2008 depending on source.

Top Notes

The fragrance opens with freesia, green notes and fresh jasmine.

Freesia creates a transparent floral freshness, while green notes introduce a natural leafy quality. Fresh jasmine adds soft white-floral radiance and prepares the composition for its richer floral heart.

The heart reveals orange flower, ylang-ylang, rose and heliotrope.

Rose provides depth and romantic richness, while ylang-ylang adds warm floral sensuality. Orange flower brings white-floral brightness, and heliotrope contributes a soft powdery sweetness.
