Moroccan Leather
Moroccan Leather by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin and ginger, moves into ylang-ylang, orris butter and orange blossom and dries down to vetiver, ambroxan, galbanum, styrax, tonka bean and leather. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
