Curatio

Curatio by the British house Memoize London, released in 2022, is a spicy floral with a sweet, balsamic warmth. Spicy and floral impressions are shared by everyone who describes it; about two thirds also find it gourmand and amber-like, and a minority notice a citrus side.

Orange and peach give the opening a juicy, sunny sweetness, with cardamom and clove adding a warm, dry, slightly medicinal spice. Jasmine and ylang-ylang form the heart, creamy and heady, and geranium adds a green, rosy freshness that keeps the flowers from feeling too rich. Balsamic notes and amber bring a sweet, resinous warmth to the base, and vanilla rounds it into a soft, lasting finish.

Curatio is worn by anyone. Its spiced-floral warmth suits autumn and the cooler end of spring and works for both day and evening. It will appeal to someone who likes clove and ylang-ylang together and wants a floral with some spice and depth rather than a fresh, dewy one.
