Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Leather EDP
Italian Leather is a divisive beast, but a masterful one. It's eccentric, unique, and for those who 'get' it, deeply alluring. The tomato leaf note is a deal-breaker for some, a signature for others.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rome EDP
A budget alternative to Memo Paris Italian Leather, keeping the distinctive green tomato-leaf-and-leather idea but with a thinner, less resinous base than the original's balsamic myrrh-vanilla drydown.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italian Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and unique, potentially polarising, tomato leaf note make it less suitable for a confined office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, combined with excellent longevity, makes it a prime candidate for dates and evening formal events. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear, as many mentioned it's not a 'daily driver'.
