The story behind the bottle.
Oriental Leather by Memo Paris was launched in 2019, crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet. This fragrance is a sophisticated blend of warm spices and woody accords, with the heart of the composition anchored by patchouli and leather. The top notes of raspberry, pimento leaf, and verbena create an aromatic freshness that contrasts beautifully against the smoky, earthy undertones. The overall effect is a rich blend of warmth and depth, making it a unisex scent that appeals to those who appreciate complex, layered fragrances.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The warm spices are most prominent at first but give way to the rich leather base over time, which means it pairs well with cooler weather or intimate settings where the scent can be appreciated close up.
