Memo Paris Ocean Leather in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens bright and green, with juicy mandarin and a leafy hit of basil, and a clean, airy, slightly mineral feel. It dries to a dry, woody base, with leather sitting far back in the blend rather than leading it.

How it wears

The perfume community reports moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate to close-to-the-skin trail. It can wear differently from one skin to another.

When to wear it

Wearers reach for it mostly in spring and autumn, by day and at the office, where it stays polite and unobtrusive.

Who it suits

Someone who likes fresh, herbal citrus and wants leather only as a quiet backdrop. If you expect a bold leather or a strong sea breeze, it is gentler than that.
