Italian Leather
Italian Leather by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with tomato leaf, juniper berry and pink pepper, moves into iris, petitgrain and clary sage and dries down to labdanum, myrrh, vanilla and leather. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Tomato Leaf Bitter, fuzzy, greenhouse-in-summer. Divisive and very distinctive.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
