Italian Leather

by Aliénor Massenet

Memo Paris Italian Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Aliénor Massenet. The fragrance opens with Vanilla, Leather, and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Orris, Labdanum, Clary Sage, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Myrrh, Sandalwood, and Opoponax.

Our verdict on Italian Leather: Acquired

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.

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'.

About

Opens with a peculiar yet captivating burst of green tomato leaf - photorealistic and fresh - quickly joined by a soft, luxurious leather. As it settles, a creamy vanilla emerges, blending seamlessly with resinous labdanum and myrrh. The drydown unveils a balsamic richness with hints of orris and clary sage, creating a warm, sophisticated aroma that defies easy categorisation.
