Moon Fever

Moon Fever by Memo Paris, released in 2012, is a citrus cologne that ends in leather. Citrus is the description everyone agrees on; about a quarter each also find it gourmand, green, woody, floral or leathery.

Lemon, bitter orange and grapefruit open it with a sharp, zesty, slightly bitter brightness. The heart keeps the freshness going but adds herbs and flowers: lemon verbena brings a green, lemony leafiness, neroli a clean orange-blossom floral tone and clary sage a dry, slightly musky herbal note. The base is more substantial than a classic cologne: vetiver gives a dry, rooty earthiness, tonka bean a soft, hay-like sweetness and leather a smooth, faintly smoky finish that lingers once the citrus has gone.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The profile suggests warm weather and daytime, when the citrus and verbena are at their best, with the leather and tonka giving it more evening presence than most colognes; it suits people who want freshness with a proper drydown.
