Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Irish Leather by Memo Paris, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, is a composition that captures the essence of rugged sophistication. The fragrance opens with fresh spicy notes like juniper berry and pepper, creating an immediate sense of crispness and energy. This gives way to a heart of clary sage and iris, adding depth and warmth. The base notes of leather, cedarwood, and vetiver ground the scent, offering a rich and earthy finish that is both animalic and woody.
Apply Irish Leather with two sprays for a balanced experience. The fresh spicy top notes are short-lived, so it's best to layer this fragrance throughout the day if you want sustained impact. It pairs well with cool-weather outfits but also works in warmer settings where its earthy warmth can be appreciated.
