‘When Shams Oud meets a flower, an amazing interlude for a journey of renewed pleasure. Memo Paris journeys are not always long. During brief yet extraordinary stopovers, a fragrance can be dreamed up for a limited edition. Shams means “sun” in Arabic, and the supreme star is indeed the glowing hearth of the fragrance, the inspiration for its woody, leather-scented incandescence, its blazing accents, the golden color of the fragrance. And the Shams formula has all the density of a spell. The warm, amber effect – in a word, solar – reaches its zenith with oud, that powerful wood resin, animal and mysterious, that transports us to the land of Arabian Nights.’ – Memo Paris
