AFRICAN LEATHER
Unisex
A vibrant blend of citrus and spices, African Leather by Memo Paris opens with a zesty bergamot note, gradually unfolding to reveal a rich floral heart featuring geranium. As the fragrance dries down, woody and leathery accords, including vetiver and oud, emerge alongside a subtle musk base. On the skin, it wears with moderate longevity and sillage, a balanced unisex scent.

Community statements
Rich and leathery with a smoky oud backbone. Surprisingly wearable for a leather fragrance — the saffron keeps it from going too animalic. Autumn evening scent.
