Memo Paris · 2024 · EDP
Ocean Leather
woody aquatic leather
With Ocean Leather, Memo decides to leave the mainland to embark on a major destination, an infinitely blue one, the ocean, and sets off in search of a majestic cetacean, a mythical animal that has inspired literature and now the imagination of a perfume. Ocean Leather transports you in its current, its wake and its movement. An oceanic freshness given by Mandarin essence and Elemi essence meets the depths of marine Leather, Vetiver and Cedar essences.
