French Leather is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it a universal choice for men and women who appreciate refinement and depth.

With a medium trail, it leaves a delicate yet noticeable trace, perfectly suited for everyday and special occasions.

For optimal development, we recommend 2 to 3 sprays on the skin and the same on clothing, to enjoy its multifaceted nature throughout the day.

The concentration of Eau de Parfum ensures longevity and richness of expression.

Families and Character of the Fragrance

The fragrance belongs to the Citrus, Leather, and Spicy families, creating a dynamic composition with a refreshing start, warm heart, and sensual base.

It is suitable for cool seasons and evening outings, offering a complimentary and recognizable character that stands out among other leather fragrances.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth

An interesting leather fragrance, but it has some sourness that makes it quite unusual. The suede feels nice, but I can't say it's a classic. The name "French" is quite fitting, the scent is truly elegant and chic, but leaves a mystery behind 🤔
5/5

The name of the fragrance is really successful, it has a French sophistication and elegance, but at the same time there's a certain lightness that makes you think. The scent is bright, it's like it's about leather, but it reminds me more of suede. First, there's a tart lime and green notes, then a fresh rose with musk and pepper appears. The base is simply magnificent, lasting up to 5 hours on the skin, the sillage is pleasant, though not too long. It seems I have another favorite 💔
5/5

The fragrance is truly subtle, with a delicate musk that slightly resembles soap, and a fresh young rose. Lime adds brightness, and suede is noticeable from the very beginning. But the more it unfolds, the more feminine and appealing it becomes. Musk combined with rose is simply chic. The longevity is excellent, the sillage is simply gorgeous. Overall, it's something worth trying!
5/5

How sad it is to realize that originality of sound doesn't always bring joy. Suede, delicate but with a cold hue, a rose that seems too distant, and a citrusy piquancy that only emphasizes the bitterness. Everything seems to be in place, but the feeling of emptiness doesn't leave. Very good? Perhaps, but only at first glance!!
5/5

This fragrance is one of my favorites. It's truly unique and appealing. The perfume is distinguished by its nobility and longevity. I don't detect rose in it, or maybe it just doesn't manifest on me. But I clearly smell suede and musk, and the other notes sound so harmonious that it's simply impossible to single out anything specific. I really like it! When I first tried it, I immediately thought it was a perfume from an expensive French house - it just slipped out. I haven't parted with it for a long time. The longevity of 'MEMO' is simply impressive!

This fragrance is truly one of the best! The suede note is simply amazing, and it smells so light and fresh that it never gets tiresome )

The fragrance is truly exquisite and delicate. It envelops you like a soft scarf on a cold day. Imagine a Parisian woman, dressed in stylish gloves, holding fresh roses from her garden. I was worried it would be too intrusive, but luckily, it's not 🌹

Another fragrance from Memo's leather line. Here, leather is certainly in the foreground, but rose also plays an important role. When you smell it from the bottle, it feels like a freshly cut flower lying on soft suede. However, on the skin, the rose becomes more prominent, and a hint of pepper is added. The result is a refined, beautiful, and multifaceted fragrance
4/5

Memo's leather fragrance is a complete disappointment. Starting your acquaintance with leather with this is like trying to learn to swim in icy water. It seems too cold, and the greenery in it is simply overwhelming. White roses don't save the situation, they only add some unnecessary sweetness. In the base, suede gives off a sweetish aftertaste that only causes disgust. In general, I don't recommend it
5/5
5
The fragrance certainly looks appealing, but there's something too pretentious about it. Rose, yes, it clearly dominates here, but this suede and woody notes seem to be trying to hide their true essence. The result is something strange, where elegance turns into a certain heaviness. It feels thoughtfully composed, but this femininity seems overly intrusive. All in all, I don't know, maybe I'm just not in the mood, but this fragrance leaves a bitter aftertaste
5/5
5
The rose here is really felt throughout the fragrance, but it's the kind of rose that's pleasant to wear. It's not overpowering, not irritating, but just gently reminds you of itself. Very delicate, without being overly assertive, which makes it comfortable for everyday use 😊
5/5
5
yes, I like it, it's exactly how I prefer it. subtlety, elegance, and sensuality - that's what's appealing. the suede here is truly gorgeous, very high quality. this fragrance definitely needs to be in the collection! for me, it's certainly more suitable for autumn and winter, but you can also wear it in everyday life. it's not overpowering, very light and unobtrusive
4/5

What an amazing fragrance! It has a sour note, and the rose is simply captivating. French elegance and chic are everywhere here. This perfume creates an incredible atmosphere )
5/5
5
A fragrance that seems beautiful and elegant actually leaves a bitter aftertaste. On me, it revealed itself as a strange combination, where lime sounds too bright, and suede feels cold and soulless. The rose, though delicate, brings no joy, and the touch of pepper only adds discomfort. Ultimately, the feeling from this scent is more oppressive than feminine
4/5
4
Honestly, the fragrance isn't impressive. Rose, yes, is present, but it doesn't save the situation. Out of the entire leather line, it seems the most banal and boring. There's no femininity here, rather some kind of heaviness and oppression. I don't know who praises it, but for me, it's a complete disappointment
