A sun-warmed modern chypre that paints the Ionian shoreline in scent, Corfu opens with a tart ribbon of rhubarb lifted by sparkling bergamot and juicy blackcurrant, then glides into a soft bouquet of geranium, rose, and lily of the valley. It dries to a luminous trail where clean musk meets earthy patchouli and moss, giving a breezy yet polished signature designed for everyday elegance and island escape moods alike.

Story and Positioning
Memo frames Corfu as a solar chypre that captures the Greek sky and the after-swim warmth of the Ionian Sea, overdosed with musk and wrapped in airy florals over a green, earthy base. It sits within the Graines Vagabondes collection that celebrates seeds, fruit, and botanical vitality, and later joined a loose Ionian trilogy alongside Ithaque in 2023 and Zante in 2023. If you enjoy bright musky chypres with fruity lift and soft florals, this occupies a refined island-inspired space that is easy to wear yet distinctive.
Bottle and Design
The flacon follows Memo’s tall rectangular silhouette in satin white glass with a polished gold cylindrical cap. A front plate in warm sand and soft lilac linework sketches topographic cliffs meeting the sea, with the collection name printed near the base. The bottle has pleasing heft, squared shoulders for a steady grip, and arrives in a sturdy cream coffret that underscores the travel note aesthetic on a dressing table.
