Corfu

Corfu by Memo Paris is a green floral with a tart, fruity streak, composed by Philippe Paparella-Paris and released in 2021. Everyone who describes it calls it floral; about two thirds also find it gourmand and green, and a minority woody, musky or citrusy.

Bergamot and rhubarb open it with a sharp, sour brightness, and blackcurrant adds a tangy, slightly leafy fruitiness. The heart is a fresh garden rather than a bouquet: rose and geranium give a rosy, peppery-green petal quality, and lily of the valley adds a dewy, watery freshness. Underneath, oakmoss and moss bring a damp, earthy depth, patchouli adds dry warmth and a soft musk smooths the finish.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The tartness of rhubarb and blackcurrant keeps it from being a conventional sweet floral, so it suits people who want a rose that reads crisp and outdoorsy; the profile points to spring and summer daytime wear.
