Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - African Leather EDP
This one's a head-turner, no doubt. African Leather is a captivating spicy-leather that manages to be both distinctive and broadly appealing, if you can get past the price and potential batch variations.

Our Verdict - No.659 African Leather Parfum
A spiced leather dupe of Memo Paris's African Leather, leaning on cardamom and saffron over a leather-oud-amber base. Community feedback calls it a close, better-value take, though it renders flatter and fades faster than the niche original.
