Description
African Leather by Memo Paris transports you to the heart of the African savannah with its intense, wild leather accord that captures the raw power of the continent's landscapes. Warm spicy notes of cardamom and pink pepper burst open, mingling with the floral elegance of geranium absolute, before evolving into a rich heart of rose, patchouli, and cinnamon. The base delivers a sophisticated depth through oud essence, amber, and dominant leather, creating an exotic, primal allure that's both opulent and untamed. This unisex Eau de Parfum exudes luxury and adventure in every spritz.
