The top notes reveal a fruity sweetness thanks to peach and mandarin; the heart unfolds with the elegance of neroli, ylang-ylang and orange blossom; while the base notes offer an enveloping warmth through vanilla, sandalwood, musk, tonka bean and cedar.

Marfa is a milky and creamy interpretation of neroli. It is certainly not excessively original but it is not mass-produced and it is warm and easy to wear. Although its top notes didn’t make too much of an impression on me at first—seems to be a house trademark to design sharp aggressive opening notes like a histrionic scream—after a few minutes on the skin that rough dominant screech of the beginning softens giving way to soft less aggressive white and yellow floral notes slightly sweetened by those fruity and fresh notes of agave which grant it a certain lightness. This creates a beautiful and balanced composition yet with character. Like a leopard roaring with all its ferocity and then calming down after securing its prey. There is no declared coconut but it is as if it is struggling to emerge weakly from the rear. It is a note I cannot stand due to how common and poorly executed it usually is but in this case it is neither intrusive nor annoying. I would highlight its suitability for almost any season although I can also imagine it becoming tiresome in summer. Thanks to the neroli and vanilla it grips well in cold climates although I do not believe it performs notably at night. It does not have a projection that would die for itself and the longevity is intermediate. I find it considerably more feminine than masculine but perhaps it would be interesting to see it on a man. There are certain flowers in perfumery that are extremely difficult to recreate with mastery: gardenia rose neroli… the latter develops in a very different way compared to other perfumes that also contain it: Narcotic V. Fracas Carnal Flower and at a much more modest level Gucci Bloom or Scandal among others. To me Marfa is halfway between the skill of Germaine Cellier and more seasoned than any of Jean Paul Gaultier’s hundred-thousandth flanker. The question is to ascertain whether at its current price it is an interesting purchase knowing it is found in an intermediate limbo…
Marfa is a milky creamy neroli. It’s not groundbreaking nor is it trendy; it feels warm and easy to wear. At first the top notes didn’t take to my liking; they seemed designed by the house to be aggressive like a histrionic scream. However within five to ten minutes on the skin that rough screech softens yielding to gentle white and yellow floral notes slightly sweetened by agave which lends a lightness to the scent. It is a beautiful balanced composition with character—like a leopard roaring with all its might before settling down after the hunt. There is no declared coconut yet it seems to struggle to emerge weakly from the back. I usually can’t stand coconut due to how poorly it’s often executed but here it is neither intrusive nor annoying. I wear it in almost any season though it might become tiresome in summer. Thanks to the neroli and vanilla it holds up well in the cold although I doubt it lasts long at night. It lacks a projection that would die for itself with an intermediate longevity. I find it more feminine than masculine though perhaps it could be interesting on a man. There are difficult flowers to recreate: gardenia rose neroli… the latter behaves differently here than in Narcotic V. Fracas Carnal Flower or the more modest Gucci Bloom and Scandal. To me Marfa sits between the skill of Germaine Cellier and is more seasoned than any of Jean Paul Gaultier’s countless flankers. The question is whether at its current price it is an interesting purchase knowing it occupies an intermediate limbo.
When I first applied it, the top notes weren’t like other fragrances that hit me like a slap; I liked it immediately, feeling it was sweet with fruity touches, that rich mandarin, a real treat. As it developed, I found it exquisite: between the sweetness, the florals, and the wood that gives it strength, without losing the citrus charm amidst the sweetness. For me, it is a daytime fragrance, suitable for warm but not extremely hot days. I like it very much; it has good sillage and quite good longevity, it fixes very well and lasts all day. It is always good to buy samples; remember that not everyone has the same taste.
As soon as I applied this to my top notes, it didn’t hit me like some other fragrances; I liked it straight away. I found it sweet with fruity touches, that rich mandarin is a delight. Once it developed, I found it exquisite: a blend of sweetness, florals, and that wood which gives it strength, without losing its citrus charm. For me, it’s a daytime scent, perfect for warm but not scorching days. I love it so much; it has a lovely trail and lasting power; it fixes very well and lasts all day. Remember, it’s always good to buy testers first, as not everyone has the same taste.
I already suspected it smelled like another fragrance, and after six months, I can see it is quite similar to The Only One Intense by D&G, only less sweet and more green.
A wonderful perfume. Basically, it smells of neroli, a sweet and creamy fragrance. It is very comfortable and pleasant; I feel very good when I wear it. It is enchanting. The longevity on my skin is about seven or eight hours, and I notice the projection is high.
I am a man and I loved this fragrance; I notice it is a bit more feminine than masculine, but it is easily wearable. For some reason, it brings me memories of my childhood.

I have a discovery set of Memo with eight fragrances from the house. Marfa was one of my favourites. It has very potent and present neroli throughout the development: creamy, sweet neroli with a citrusy touch in the opening. It’s a bomb in terms of longevity and sillage. I didn’t buy it because I already own so many sweet neroli perfumes, and on my skin, the dry-down reminded me of My Way Le Parfum, so I didn’t feel the need to own Marfa when I already have a nearly full bottle of Giorgio Armani. However, I highly recommend Marfa if you are starting a Memo collection and are looking for a potent, medium-creamy, sweet white floral. If you have TikTok, I invite you to check my reviews @estefybonham.

I tried Memo Paris Marfa and upon application, a green and vanilla note struck me; it seemed exquisite, elegant and feminine, something I had never smelled before. Over time, the scent became familiar, so I went to Fragantica to confirm the notes and indeed they match. I checked the ‘reminds me of’ section to identify that known scent, and although I don’t know how the voted examples smell, I deduced that the dry-down smells like Olympea by Paco Rabanne. Fragantica confirms that others have experienced the same thing. They are not identical, but I feel Marfa belongs to the same infinite line as Olympea; they seem to share very similar DNA. I highly recommend it; it is exquisite, but I would have liked it not to resemble Olympea so much at the end, because its opening is too original to finish with something so commercial as Paco Rabanne fragrances, and given its price, I expected something more distinctive.
Today I tried Memo Paris Marfa; as soon as I applied it, I detected a strong green and vanilla note. It seemed exquisite, elegant, and feminine. I felt I had never smelled anything like it before. After a while, the scent became familiar, but I wasn’t sure what it was, so I checked the notes on Fragrantica to confirm, and indeed, they are listed. I looked at the ‘reminds me of’ section to see if I could identify a known scent, and honestly, I’m not sure how the examples smell, but I realised that the familiar dry-down is Olympea by Paco Rabanne; looking at the votes, I see others thought the same. They aren’t identical, but I feel Marfa could belong to the infinite line of Olympea, and no one would argue, as they share a very similar DNA. I highly recommend Marfa; it seems very exquisite, but I would have preferred it not to resemble Olympea in its dry-down, because its opening seemed too original to end up sounding as commercial as Paco Rabanne fragrances, and given the price, I expected something different.
It’s a neroli floral with a slightly tropical twist, blended with that yellow facet of ylang-ylang in the top and heart notes, sitting over a softer, highly vanilla-floral base. It’s a feminine scent; initially dense and opulent, so I’d wear it more in spring or summer evenings (not for intense heat). The longevity on skin exceeds eight hours with moderate projection and sillage. I’ve liked it very much, although it isn’t my favourite neroli.
It’s strange, but on my skin it smells very much like Blanche Bête; they are almost identical.
It’s a floral scent heavily laden with neroli and ylang-ylang, quite dense, and smells lovely… but I find it too feminine for me.
I absolutely love this perfume, provided it doesn’t give me a headache or upset my stomach, as I simply can’t stand it when that happens. To me, it smells primarily of neroli, though vanilla also comes through strongly as it dries down on the skin. By the way, it’s very similar to, but much more intense than, Byredo’s Inflorescence, which I also wear.
