HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Italian Leather by Memo Paris, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, is a composition that captures the essence of aged leather with an aromatic twist. The fragrance opens with the unexpected freshness of tomato leaf and galbanum, providing a green and slightly spicy contrast to the warm vanilla and powdery notes that follow. As it develops, labdanum and orris root blend seamlessly into a rich blend of balsamic and amber tones, grounding the composition in a sense of lasting elegance.
Apply Italian Leather to pulse points and allow it to develop on your skin for at least 15 minutes. The aromatic top notes are fleeting but impactful, while the base notes of vanilla and musk provide lasting warmth. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than in an open space.
