‘Mémoire d’une Palmeraie 14 is a radiant and sensual composition. A celebration of legendary oud wood adorned with spicy shards of saffron, sensually veiled by the purple mystery of the Damask rose. A promise of voluptuous seduction, soft and intense at the same time. Infinitely oriental, irremediably bewitching.’ – Fo’ah
After a quick sniff of the Fo’ah line-up, 08 and 14 stood out for my taste. In general they were pleasant, but not as ‘out there’ as I’d hoped. They tout the use of a special palm tree accord, but I can’t say I detected anything really unusual in them.
14 is a darker take on their DNA, with oud. The rose is there for sure, but it’s very woody. The heaviest of this brand’s releases and the most suitable for me.
