In the veiled depths of consciousness, where scent becomes memory and memory becomes myth, Bogue Profumo MEM is born. This isn’t merely a perfume—it is a haunting olfactory sonnet composed by Antonio Gardoni, conjuring whispers from a world long buried beneath time and reason. MEM draws its name from the Phoenician letter “Mem,” a symbol of water, of life, of flow—of memory itself. As such, it carries a fluid narrative structure, unfolding like an ancient tale told around flickering firelight.
The scent opens with a chorus of luminous lavender, but soon veers into unpredictable terrain—a wild, mystic forest of animalic, green, floral, and resinous chords. A contradiction by design, MEM is at once devout and carnal, restrained yet explosive. It resists definition and linearity, shifting shape and meaning as it evolves on the skin. With its complexity and cathedral-like structure, MEM becomes more than a fragrance; it is a ritual, a state of altered perception, an immersive memoryscape.
