Memo Paris Irish Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Aliénor Massenet. Irish Leather opens with Mandarin, Pepper, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Mate, Iris, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Vetiver. Memo Paris's Irish Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a sophisticated green leather dream, others find it shockingly bad, like horse manure or burnt tyres. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so roll up your sleeves and give it a proper test before committing.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate projection and longevity make it suitable for various settings, though it leans more towards a 'statement' scent. While some find it too strong for the office, its sophisticated character allows for evening wear and formal events. Many users suggest it's great for 'cooler, rainy, overcast days', making it versatile for smart-casual outings.

About

Irish Leather blasts off with a sharp, fresh hit of juniper and pepper, underpinned by a zesty mandarin. This invigorating opening soon settles into a herbal heart of clary sage and earthy mate, with a subtle whisper of iris. The dry-down reveals a smooth, modern leather intertwined with woody vetiver and cedar, creating an aromatic, green-tinged, and subtly animalic finish.
