Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Memo Paris, Iberian Leather is crafted by perfumers Aliénor Massenet and Philippe Paparella-Paris as an exploration of the rich blend of leather and woody notes. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of geranium and rosemary, which quickly gives way to warm spices like saffron and clove. At its heart, Iberian Leather balances floral notes such as iris, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley against the earthy complexity of oud and patchouli. The base is anchored by a deep, animalic leather accord that melds seamlessly with sandalwood and musk.
Apply Iberian Leather in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold naturally. The spicier top notes fade within an hour, but the rich base notes will linger for hours, making it perfect for evening wear or cooler days.
