Darling Point takes Memo Paris to Sydney, to the neighbourhood facing the Opera House. Aliénor Massenet made it an indulgent, reassuring scent that opens on a candied pear, made crisp by apple and warmed by cinnamon.
The heart lights up with orange blossom, jasmine, rose and a touch of saffron. Moss, cashmere wood and praline wrap it all in a golden warmth.

Darling Point in detail
Memo Paris conceives its fragrances as travel journals. Darling Point, signed by Aliénor Massenet, takes you opposite the Sydney Opera House: a candied pear, between orange blossom and praline, in a fruity, floral gourmand.
The official pyramid opens on cinnamon, pear and apple, a fruity, slightly spicy start. The heart brings together jasmine, orange blossom, saffron and rose. The base pairs oakmoss, cashmere wood and praline, a gourmand foundation crossed by a green note.
Darling Point is worn by day, in spring and autumn: a lunch, a walk, a mild in-between-season day. Its oakmoss gives it more structure than a simple fruity gourmand, and its spices keep it lively.
Three gourmand fragrances in our catalogue come close: Sintra, from the same house, shares orange blossom, cinnamon and rose; Mmmm... by Juliette Has a Gun brings together orange blossom and jasmine around a raspberry; Triumph of Bacchus Extrait by Argos pairs saffron, apple and jasmine with rum.
