About This Perfume
French Leather by Memo Paris is a Leather fragrance for women and men. French Leather was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet. Top notes are Lime, Pink Pepper, juniper berry and Bergamot; middle notes are Rose, Clary Sage and Hay; base notes are Suede and Cedarwood. French Leather evokes a Parisian spirit — elegant yet effortless, refined yet spontaneous. It captures the charm of quiet confidence, suede handbags, café rituals, and fleeting glances. A place where style meets instinct, and every detail becomes a declaration. Grown in Turkey and harvested by hand, the French Leather rose stems from an innovative process that uses the rose water, usually discarded after distillation, to preserve its fragrant, green, spicy and lingering character, and is teamed with the essential oil to provide a more comprehensive aromatic interpretation of the flower. It becomes even livelier and flaunts a sassy style, paired with the sparkling facets of lime oil.
