A luminous tea amber that plays with temperature and texture, Winter Palace opens with brisk citrus over a crackle of spice before revealing a silky red tea heart that feels cooling and warm at once, then settles into a comforting resin vanilla trail that clings to scarves and knitwear while remaining airy enough for daytime elegance. The brand frames it as a meeting of fire and ice inspired by imperial China, a contrast that reads as energising yet serene on skin.

Story and Positioning
Part of Memo Paris’s Art Land chapter, Winter Palace channels a journey through the palaces and vistas of China, pairing zesty citrus and spiced tea with a glowing ambered base for a modern tea fragrance with presence and poise. If you enjoy refined tea and resin pairings with a soft gourmand undertone, this sits in that polished space while remaining unmistakably Memo. The house characterises the scent as a powerful contrast of freshness and warmth, a travel memory rendered in perfume.
Bottle and Design
A tall rectangular flacon with clean edges and a glossy gold cap frames a striking front plate in warm ochre, illustrated with a coiling dragon picked out in black and blue accents. The label carries the collection mark Art Land, and the bottle arrives in a textured presentation box that underscores its collectible feel on the shelf. The dragon motif nods to Chinese symbolism of vitality and good fortune, tying the bottle and the brief together in a single graphic statement.
