Moroccan Leather

This is nothing like Irish Leather, this is much more on the dirtier realm, but yet it has this aldehydic, clean profile that I would even say leaned more gasoliney (this is what I thought when I smelled it the first time). Again, it is not as clearly clean-smelling as the Irish Leather is, but it's more of a kind of "soapy solvent cleaner" (I suspect it's the galbanum and the styrax coexisting) kind of clean (maybe something used to treat jackets or something) but it isn't off-putting, but it does eventually blend into a more dominantly dirt-earthy scent. Normally I'm not super thrilled about clean fragrances (probably because a lot of them smell about the same), but this one is just so unique, that I'm contemplating a full bottle of it. You can still tell the leather note in it, but it isn't some carnal note that you would find in Leatherize DS&D's perfume. You might get away with this as a night fragrance, but it's scent bias leans towards more for daytime use, you could say it's bordering on the edge of office use, unless you're already avant garde in the office, this is pretty safe to try. Overall captivating fragrance.

I got a 10ml of this and a couple other for free because i bought some fragrances in a shop. Realistic suede, for me it weirdly smells like some sort of green tea with a hint of honey along side the suede. I dont mind it at all. It is a thick scent and they didnt bother making it powdery which i can appreciate, most perfumes nowadays are to scared to do that and imo it gives this perfume depth and personality. It is smooth but somewhat heavy. And at some point i feel like it gets too close to lavender, a bit spicy and citrussy, even though that isnt mentioned anywhere on the notes. Which again isnt a problem because i love lavender. Overall its an 8/10. Its deep, even though somewhat linear, it still takes a few whiffs to get to feel all what the fragrance has to offer. Sillage is okay, but that might just be because of the tester also doesnt last a lot. Bigger bottles might have better longevity. I feel like there is people in the market for this and they will love it and carry it as an everyday scent. And that might justify the price.

This is my go to for fall. To start off, I was actually looking for something with a galbanum mote in it ever since trying that one Gucci bloom flanker with the strong galbanum and petrichor notes. Moroccan Leather definitely presents it in a way that's easier to wear than something like Channel 19, which I've been told makes me smell like a grandma. Second, the leather is definitely there in my opinion. You have to wait for the dry down a bit, but you end up with a warm inviting leather smell that's like wrapping yourself up with a nice suede jacket. The most prominent note for me is the citrus, and after having visiting Chefchaouen for real, is the main *artistic* draw of this fragrance. I think the artist nailed the scent of the mandarin trees dotted along the river of the city. One of my favorites and although it's a little pricy, I'm glad I forked over the dough. Do make sure that you give it a test run, first, but if you're already here looking for a leathery galbanum based fragrance you probably already know what you like.

Memo's Morrocan Leather has been on my want list for a while. It smells like leather mingled with lime, and the longevity is decent. I get whiffs of it throughout my day, and it's a pleasant surprise the way it creeps up on me. I deeply enjoy this. If anyone knows of something similar, please let me know or post it in your review. Because it would help to know of a similar scent at a better price point. Leather and Lime, Iris. Makes me think of a Grecian vacation and a well tailored suit on an important day. Manicured hands, soft feet, moisturized skin. Someone clean who takes pride in his/her appearance. This is a grownup, rich scent made of vacations and expensive sheets.

I really like this fragrance. It is dark, leathery, leathery and leathery. And oh, yes, did I mention leathery? Based on other reviews I was hoping for more citrus and ginger notes but those are very subtle. Leans masculine with aromatic tones. The person who wears this is confident, stylish and distinguished. Use sparingly though. The fragrance is strong and lasts long. Definitely a head turner. Rating: 9/10
