The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

French Leather Rose by Memo Paris, launched in 2016, marries the crispness of citrus and the warmth of musk with an unexpected twist: suede and rose. The opening notes of lime and pink pepper create a vibrant contrast against the soft floral heart of rose and rose water. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a powdery, slightly spicy base that anchors the composition in a subtle leather accord, adding depth and complexity.

How to wear it

Apply French Leather Rose lightly at first; it blooms gradually over time. The citrus top notes are fleeting, but the rose and suede base will last throughout the day, making it perfect for an office setting or a casual evening out.
