Ocean Leather
Ocean Leather by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, mandarin and pink pepper, moves into clary sage, watery notes and cedarwood and dries down to vetiver, leather and labdanum. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
