Sicilian Leather
Sicilian Leather by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bitter orange, bergamot, citron, coriander and cardamom, moves into pine and violet leaf and dries down to atlas cedar, leather, guaiac wood and patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Citron Thick-skinned citrus, more zest than juice. Waxy and bright.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Dry-down
- Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
