Indian Leather

I was hesitant to blind buy Indian Leather, as it is a daring composition. With Memo, you never know what type of adventure awaits. Which is to be expected from brands still using raw materials. Which notes will be more prominent? Will there be animalic components? One thing is for certain when it comes to this house. They will deliver! Indian Leather is a masterpiece, a term I don't use loosely. Indian Leather is one of Memo's most refined and sophisticated choices. Formal to business casual, but more business than casual. Surprisingly sexy, warm and very inviting. Cypriol or Nagarmotha is a wonderful note used in perfumery, but has the potential to be overwhelmingly smoky or spicy. It's blended really well here however. Rose and jasmine absolute are typically detected effortlessly in fragrances, but Indian Leather does not come off rosy or particularly floral in any way. I find it to be very oud and leather focused, with a deep presence of patchouli that is almost chocolatey. Never fecal nor animalic, but quite resinous and dancing on the cusp of being gourmand. Frankincense gradually surfaces, but didn't emerge until 6-7 hours after application. Vanilla creates a beautiful harmony between all of the aggressive notes, so the composition never roars. As it settles and all the elements fuse, a mystery note manifests; a phantom rosewood. While Indian Leather is a smooth blend, it has body and the performance is outstanding. You'll find that Indian Leather does get a little sweeter over the course of several hours as the vanilla warms to your skin, but that's part of what makes this such an exhilarating olfactory experience!

I suppose the folks at memo were obligated to use the word leather in the name simply to keep with the traditional nomenclature. The fragrance opens with a very nice kick of oud, although it's not the overpowering kind that most will associate with Middle Eastern frags. The spices are definitely noticeable from there on. Sadly for me I go nose deaf fter a very short while. Fortunately this is a fragrance that lasts on my skin a very long time and simply touching my neck where I sprayed it I can smell it on my fingers. Mind you, I tend to spray a lot because I know my skin is not kind to most fragrances. On that note very recently I received one of the best compliments on it. I thought it was gone and yet someone told me how incredible I smelled. Despite the outrageous price, I have no regrets about buying this one. Stays on my clothes for what feels like eternity. I will definitely recommend sampling. For the price it might be a little bit too much or not enough for some folks out there. Just don't expect any leather...cheers and happy 2025.

VERY SAFE BLIND BUY FOR WINTER! WOW Im disappointed HOW GOOD THIS IS. I just got this in the mail and I was hoping to return it and get my money back since it’s a blind buy. They sent me the works. The fragrance is very very carefully packaged with love in a unique artisanal style bandana just like in the boutique. It also came with a mini trial vile so you don’t have to open the box just in case you still want to return the frag. Also they gave me a 5ml of Abu Dhabi! Wow so kind! Thank you Memo!!!!!! I love it. Well. There goes my money. I got recommended this from Henry J Wade on Instagram. This perfumer does it again! I love her!! She did great with YSL LHOMME COLOGNE BLEUE and she knocked it out of the park with INDIAN LEATHER! BUY NOW Thank you for reading! With a warm voice. -Christopher

If you like halfeti leather you’ll love this , the dry down is very similar to halefti leather but the opening is very boozy and green , I do not enjoy the opening but the dry down is very good and this does better on cloths then on skin it’s 2 diff scents , for price it’s actually pretty good because discounters has them for $120 and performance is great I got a good 7-9 hours from this Fragrance and it projected for the first 2-3 strong , it’s more of an outdoor wear in the cold for fall / winter , indoors this would be to powerful

Hello Memo, it finally arrived... I do agree with everyone that this fragrance is quite different and unique for all the other lines of Memo.. Oud strikes from the first sniff and its perfectly blinded with spices giving it that original middles eastern-south asian identity it settles perfectly on both skin and fabric, classy and rich. I don't sense leather in it which makes it a bit ODD. yet I do feel good wearing it over all 8/10
