Inspiration / Dupe

Riiffs does not officially market Momento as a direct clone of any designer perfume, but community fragrance enthusiasts often compare its overall vibe to Arabians Tonka by Montale because of the similar warm tonka bean, sweet and woody gourmand profile — this is a community observation, not a brand claim.

What it smells like

Momento opens with an alluring sweet-spicy burst where sugary accords mingle with exotic saffron and citrusy mandarin, giving a warm but fresh impression. The heart reveals a lush blend of creamy tonka bean and velvety damask rose balanced by resinous oud, adding richness and depth. The dry-down is warm and woody, anchored by amberwood, smooth cedarwood and caramel, creating a bold yet inviting trail that feels cozy, elegant and slightly gourmand. 

Fragrantica user reviews describe it as smooth, sweet, woody and cozy, with the tonka-amber-rose combination giving it a comforting and sophisticated aura. 

Performance

• Longevity: Long — many wearers report 8–10+ hours on skin and fabrics.  
• Sillage: Moderate to strong — noticeable projection without being overwhelming.  
• Projection: Strong initial opening that settles into a warm, elegant dry-down.  

Community discussions suggest that letting the bottle macerate can help the scent open more smoothly, enhancing the dry-down and overall balance.
