Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Leather by Memo Paris - a leather fragrance led by Leather, with powdery depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.
If you liked the 2023 Cuir, you'll love this 'new' iteration, which is essentially the same but with a softer, more refined dry-down that makes it even more universally appealing. YSL delivered a masterful revision.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the leather, powdery profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the leather accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent leather and oud notes, combined with strong projection, make it better suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. For a date, it's a confident, sophisticated choice, and while it could work casually, its inherent luxury shines in formal settings.
