Memo Tiger’s Nest Eau de Parfum wraps sacred-temple incense in a glow of amber and vanilla, sparked by a vivid opening of absinthe, aldehydes, and lime. Imagine the climb toward Bhutan’s cliffside monastery, air tinged with spice and resin, then a soft descent into balsams and papyrus that feel polished rather than smoky. The result is meditative yet modern, plush enough for cool evenings and distinctive enough to stand out in any niche collection.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as an incense roar inspired by the Tiger’s Nest monastery above Paro Valley, Tiger’s Nest maps Memo’s travel ethos with a serene, resinous core lifted by citrus sparkle. It sits within Memo’s Fleurs Bohèmes universe while also appearing in the brand’s Asia edit, making it a compelling choice for lovers of refined incense amber styles. If you enjoy elegant incense ambers from houses like Amouage or Comme des Garçons, this scratches a similar contemplative itch with a smoother vanilla finish.
Bottle and Design
A tall rectangular flacon in clear lacquered glass carries a deep inky plaque illustrated with a stylised tiger motif, framed by a glossy metallic cap. The face art reads like a travel stamp, the shoulders are gently rounded for a comfortable grip, and the weighted base gives it a steady stance on the vanity. It feels collectible and modern, echoing the mystical night theme inside.
