Memo

House Summary

Memo was founded in Paris in 2007 by married couple Clara and John Molloy, who met on a ski-lift in 2005 — Clara a Parisian-Catalan poet and publisher with a deep interest in perfumery, John an Irish former Kenzo and LVMH executive working at L'Oréal when they started the business. Their combined backgrounds and shared love of travel shaped the house's entire mentality: each fragrance is conceived as a Travel Note, a response to a specific real destination built on intense, precious raw materials. That grounding keeps the compositions warm and wearable, favouring emotional accessibility over conceptual difficulty.
