Philippe Paparella – the Memo olfactory journey

Philippe Paparella: perfume as a travel story

Portrait of a perfumer

Perfumer Philippe Paparella has created for MEMO several stopovers in the Cuirs Nomades and Graines Vagabondes collections, where each perfume tells the story of a destination.

Philippe Paparella's creations at Soleil d'Or

For MEMO, you will find the luminous Corfu, the floral oriental Sintra and the distinguished Iberian Leather, the house's leather piece.

From sunny citrus to leather

His palette covers the floral, citrus and oriental families, from neroli and mandarin to leather and saffron.

Who should wear these fragrances, and when?

Unisex trails ranging from summer freshness to evening leather. To extend the journey, discover the kindred noses Alberto Morillas and Nathalie Lorson.

How to choose your Philippe Paparella fragrance?

Hesitating between Corfu and Sintra is perfectly normal: niche perfumery is a personal matter. Our discovery box lets you try at home before choosing a full bottle. For a hands-on experience, our shop at 22 rue de la Clef in Lille (France) welcomes you for a guided trial with our team.

Philippe Paparella at Soleil d'Or, a Lille perfumery since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Jeanne Muyllaert on the Grand'Place in Lille, Soleil d'Or is an independent perfumery handed down from generation to generation. Hubert Maes (third generation) steered it towards niche perfumery; today his daughters Victorine and Apolline Maes (fourth generation) carry on this commitment to excellence at 22 rue de la Clef, Lille (59800), with expert advice, guided trials and our guide to olfactory families.
