Iberian Leather
Iberian Leather by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with saffron, rosemary and cinnamon, moves into iris, coriander and carrot seed and dries down to leather, atlas cedar and oud. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Carrot Seed Earthy, rooty and oddly powdery. Often used to echo iris.
Dry-down
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
