African Leather

$335.00

African Leather opens with cardamom and pink pepper establishing a spiced warmth before the leather arrives in the heart, unrefined and deliberately so. This is not the polished, saddlery leather of a couture house: it is something rawer, closer to hide and smoke. Oud deepens alongside it, and rose gives the combination a warmth that prevents it from becoming purely austere. Vetiver and patchouli in the base anchor the composition in an earthy darkness that lingers for hours.

Why We Carry This

Alienor Massenet's African Leather is the most compelling fragrance in Memo's leather collection because it refuses to domesticate the material. The rawness of the leather accord against an oud-patchouli base gives it a character that is genuinely distinctive in a category prone to safe interpretations.
