Ella K Memoire de Daisen In Eau de Parfum

What it smells like

Mémoire de Daisen-In remembers a rose-lined path leading to a minimalist Kyoto zen garden, where stone, gravel and wood trace the path of life. It opens bright and effervescent, with kumquat, tangerine, bergamot and lime sparkling like sunlight on dew.

The heart is a luminous bouquet — rose and peony softened by green tea, a touch of plum and a whisper of nutmeg — radiant and transparent. The base settles into contemplative calm: white musk, ambroxan, powdery violet, benzoin and vanilla, a serene, skin-like finish that feels like stillness itself.

Who made it

Every Ella K fragrance is composed by Sonia Constant, a senior perfumer trained at ISIPCA and the Givaudan perfumery school who spent more than two decades creating for one of the world’s most prestigious fragrance houses before founding Ella K in 2017. Widely respected in the industry, she has signed acclaimed compositions for major houses while pursuing, through Ella K, a more intimate and personal form of perfumery. Her signature is refined, cinematic storytelling — each scent is built like a travelogue, translating the light, air and materials of a real place into a composition that feels both couture-polished and quietly emotional, favouring beautiful naturals and modern captives over loud, obvious effects.

Who it’s for

For lovers of fresh, elegant florals who want lightness with depth. A graceful, largely feminine-leaning but wearable-by-all scent for people who prefer refined radiance over intensity.

When to wear it

Best in spring and summer and through the day — its citrus-floral brightness is uplifting and office-friendly, while the soft musky base keeps it wearable into gentle evenings.

About the house

Ella K Parfums is an independent French niche house founded in 2017 by master perfumer Sonia Constant. Its concept is olfactory travel: every fragrance is a postcard from a specific place on Earth — a bay, a garden, a desert, a wind — rendered in fine materials and named to read like an entry from a traveller’s journal. The line spans a Core Collection of far-flung destinations and a more abstract, luxurious “K” Collection, all presented in collectible, artfully labelled bottles. It is offered here at Redolia Perfumery as a full 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
