The story behind the bottle.
Ocean Leather by Memo Paris, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, is a composition that marries the freshness of the sea with the warmth of leather. The fragrance opens with mandarin orange and basil, creating an aromatic and slightly spicy top note. As it evolves, elements like violet and sage bring a green, herbal layer, which contrasts beautifully against the rich, woody base notes of cedar, vetiver, and leather. This interplay between freshness and warmth makes Ocean Leather a distinctive unisex scent that stands out for its complex yet balanced profile.
Apply Ocean Leather with two sprays to allow the aromatic and spicy top notes to settle into the warmer base. The scent develops subtly over time, so it’s best used in cooler weather or evening settings where the leather undertones can shine through.
