Memo Paris 2015 EDP
African Leather
Memo Paris African Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Aliénor Massenet. African Leather opens with Geranium, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Oud. Memo Paris's African Leather carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
With its strong projection and noticeable sillage, African Leather might be a bit much for a conservative office, but reviewers often wear it there, suggesting moderate application. Its unique blend of spicy leather makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps too refined for casual wear during the day.
