Memo Paris
African Leather Memo Paris
Memo Paris launched African Leather in 2015, created by Alienor Massenet. The opening is fresh and spicy, with cardamom and pink pepper lending a zesty edge to geranium. As the scent settles, patchouli and cinnamon add depth, creating a warm, aromatic heart. The base notes of leather, oud, and amber provide a rich, smoky texture, with a hint of animalic warmth. What stays is a complex, woody profile with a subtle sweetness from the oud, giving the leather a modern twist. The character is both rugged and refined, making it suitable for casual daytime wear, especially in autumn and winter, in settings where a deep, earthy scent is fitting.
