From your scent profile
Memo Paris Quartier Latin is a sweet, woody unisex scent that moves from a spicy, fruity opening of cardamom, clove and peach into a floral heart of violet, jasmine and rose.
Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

PowderyWhat does Quartier Latin smell like?
It opens with spice beside fruit: cardamom and clove warm the sweetness of the peach. Violet, jasmine and rose then lay down a powdery floral heart. The base dries down creamy, resinous and gourmand through Australian sandalwood, amber and tonka bean absolute, with Virginia cedar giving it a woody frame.
Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes for feminine and masculine sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Alverde Sweet Harmony and Etro Raving have a close profile.
