Mémoire Liquide Reserve Edition Books®

Bespoke Perfumery presents its first ready-to-wear fragrance collection for the girl who dreams of a scented library. Sisters and beauty pioneers Robin Coe-Hutshing and Jennifer Coe-Bakewell have created a scent library by launching five unique Mémoire Liquide Reserve Edition Books. Each Mémoire Liquide Reserve fragrance is housed within the pages of a unique keepsake box disguised as a book. Each tells the story of a sweet memory preserved forever… like dew soaked flowers at dawn, a vacation on an idyllic tropical beach, warm sunshine on a summer day and a gentle wafting ceremonial incense in Japan. The sisters were inspired by combining the nature of scent and memory and the powers of the connection. This collection “embodies the story and inspiration that’s gone into Mémoire Liquide Reserve Edition Books® for years to come.”
Fragrances have the power to evoke a memory or thought from the heart for me so the sisters are right on with this one. I found the Armour Liquide selection engaging with notes of Madagascar Vanilla and Tonka Bean with Incense. This selection plays to romantic love that soothes the soul and makes you indeed pause to catch your breath.
Mémoire Liquide Reserve Edition Books® retails for $95 at Studio BeautyMix at Fred Segal, Studio BeautyMix at Korres in New York and Bloomingdales stores.
