Description
Description
French Leather reimagines Memo Paris's leather accord through a rosier, more polished lens, pairing Turkish rose and hay absolute with soft suede in a fragrance perfumer Aliénor Massenet composed in 2014 as the second chapter of the house's Cuirs Nomades collection. Where Irish Leather is green and outdoorsy, French Leather is built to feel like a well-loved leather handbag warmed by rose and citrus, refined rather than rugged.
How It Differs From Irish Leather & Italian Leather
- French Leather (this one): rose-and-suede, soft and close to skin. The most polished of the trio.
- Irish Leather: green and aromatic, juniper, maté, and cedar. Drier and more outdoorsy.
- Italian Leather: warm amber, tomato leaf, vanilla, and myrrh. Sweeter and more opulent.
Scent Character
- Fresh: 44%
- Woody: 22%
- Floral: 11%
- Spicy: 11%
- Suede Leather: 11%
Translation: a soft, rosy-fresh leather. The lightest and most "skin scent" of the three Cuirs Nomades leathers. The leather accord here reads as suede rather than smoke; there's no agarwood in the formula.
