Oriental Leather

by Aliénor Massenet

Memo Paris Oriental Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aliénor Massenet. Oriental Leather opens with Lemon Verbena, Raspberry, and Pimento Leaf, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Memo Paris's Oriental Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one is a divisive marvel, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect surprises, as it often smells nothing like its name, delivering a sweet heat and creamy blend that can be captivating or utterly perplexing. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it unsuitable for the office, where subtlety is key. However, its distinctive, warm spicy character makes it excellent for dates or formal evening events, leaving a memorable sillage. It's often described as a 'grown-up' scent, ill-suited for casual wear or sporty activities.

About

Oriental Leather opens with a curious, almost bubblegum-like sweetness from raspberry and pimento leaf, balanced by a sharp hint of lemon verbena. As it settles, warm cinnamon and aromatic lavender emerge, softened by geranium. The base unfurls into a soft, spiced leather, underpinned by earthy patchouli and balsamic frankincense, creating a smooth, enduring aura.
