Memo Paris French Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Aliénor Massenet. French Leather opens with Bergamot, Lime, Pink Pepper, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Rose, Hay, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Suede and Cedar. Memo Paris's French Leather carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive rose-suede beast, with a hefty price tag that makes the 'love it or hate it' crowd even more vocal. It's either an understated luxury or an old lady's handbag - no middle ground here.

About

French Leather opens with a vibrant, almost tart burst of lime and a spicy hint of pink pepper before unfolding into a velvety rose heart, softened by a delicate, clean suede. Underlying aromatic hints of juniper and hay add a subtle dryness, grounding the floral and citrus notes with a quiet sophistication that lingers into a musky cedar base.
