  I tried Memo’s leather collection and this one won me over: it’s a sweet, dense leather with a chocolatey twist. The tomato leaf fits perfectly, adding a juicy green note that softens the leather without straying from the scent. It lasts and projects amazingly; two sprays last all day and everyone notices. Of Memo’s three leathers, this is the most feminine.

  I tried Memo’s leather collection, and this was the one that seduced me: a sweet, dense leather with a chocolatey vibe. The tomato leaf combination fits perfectly; it’s a juicy green note that softens the prominent leather notes without straying from the perfume’s line. Longevity and sillage are quite strong—two sprays are enough to last all day and be easily noticed by those around you. Of the three perfumes in Memo’s leather range, this might be the most feminine.

  I’m neither in love nor repulsed by it. It opens with a grassy leather note from tomato leaf and galbanum, with a sweet vanilla touch. Over time, the resins take over, and that green note that never quite convinced me fades away. The final phase, with a slightly smoky and sweet character, is my favorite. The sample felt endless. Too much waiting for too little enjoyment. Performance is quite good. Ideal for autumn and winter, day and night. Long-lasting longevity and heavy sillage.

  I love this perfume. The opening is sweet with a strong green touch from the tomato leaf, which I didn’t recognize until I tried it. It lasts a long time on skin and clothes; the next day I still got hits from my skin and it smelled even stronger on my sweater. It’s very pleasant due to the green-sweet-leather blend. The only thing: don’t overdo it, as it can get tiring if you smell it constantly. I got compliments the first time and have no regrets. The leather is less noticeable but it’s there. Ideal for fresh seasons, day and night. Highly recommended.

  For me, this perfume is a total hit. The opening is sweet but with a very distinct green note from the tomato, which I struggled to identify until I tried it. The best part is that it lasts forever, both on skin and clothes; the next day I still got strong bursts from my body, and it smells even stronger on my sweater. The scent is very pleasant, especially that green-sweet-leather blend. If I have to point out a downside, it’s that you shouldn’t overdo it because the smell can become tiring if you wear it all day; the first time I got several compliments and I have no regrets. The leather note is the least noticeable, though it’s there. Ideal for fresh seasons, day and night. Highly recommended.

  For lovers of vanilla, perhaps this is their Holy Grail. It’s a very elegant perfume where the predominant note is an exquisite and lasting absolute of vanilla; I haven’t perceived a very prominent evolution, the scent feels quite linear. I think it suits a woman very well, although on a man today it might invite closeness and create an interesting atmosphere of trust for a first date. The quality is very good.

  The drydown is the worst: it smells like those white surgical gloves dentists use. The opening is pleasant, but honestly, I didn’t like it.

  Definitely Masculine has three very different phases that confuse me. First comes the very aromatic tomato, then the leather that persists in the drydown but is dominated by a resinous base and lots of vanilla. I don’t see much coherence between phases; I’ve wondered if it’s an attempt to reproduce an Italian character rooted in the earth and crops, yet hedonistic, deduced from the vanilla phase. The truth is, for me, it’s not the best from the brand.

  Like everything from Memo Paris, evocative and bold. In the community, we associate Italy with citrus like bergamot, blood orange, or lemon, and colognes like Aqua di Parma, which convey that Italian elegance and class. So we say a perfume is Italy in a bottle. This one doesn’t go that way, but it is also Italy in a bottle, hence the boldness. No citrus or typical notes, but with all the flavor of the peninsula unquestionably. It smells like food from there, as if you were in the kitchen of a Tuscan chef with countertops full of spices, condiments, fresh sprouts, and vanilla for desserts. It’s on the border of gourmand. It’s very peculiar. Mostly, it smells like tomato leaves (green and slightly spicy, seasoned but garden-fresh) mixed with a delicious leather and deeply vanillaized. I don’t own it, but I’ve tried it; it’s worth it, though I don’t think in my case it justifies a full bottle. The performance is impressive, lasting the whole workday. The dilemma is the sensation: Is it elegant? Yes. Does it smell good? A lot. Is the quality obvious? Overwhelmingly. Do I want to smell like the pantry of a quality Italian restaurant? Oh, friend, that question is more complicated. Many will find in Sicilian Leather what they associate with perfume Italian. Anyway, the evocative art here is valued. Always. And that alone justifies trying it.

  Like everything from Memo Paris, it’s evocative and bold. It doesn’t smell like classic Italian (citrus, Alpine elegance), but rather like Italy in an unquestionably shaped bottle. It smells like food there, as if you were in a Tuscan chef’s kitchen with spices, fresh veggies, and vanilla for dessert. It sits on the gourmand border. It’s tomato leaf (green and spicy) with delicious leather and deep vanilla. I don’t own it, but I tested it and it’s worth it, though maybe it doesn’t deserve a FB for me. Performance is impressive for the whole day. Is it elegant? Yes. Does it smell good? A lot. Quality? Through the roof. Want to smell like an Italian restaurant pantry? That’s a different story. Many prefer Sicilian Leather, but here the evocative art justifies the experience.

  If you have a culinary background, you’ll associate the opening with opening a cupboard of dried spices and vegetables. To me, the opening smells like spaghetti al pesto. And then? Simply vanilla that grows and continues to dominate the leather. It’s a perfume with an initial spicy and vegetal phase, and a second where vanilla takes the lead. The leather is a secondary factor that is only intuited. I speak of ‘two phases’ because the heart is weak, and the tomato and vanilla mask any distinction. I understand that compliments might depend on the time of day and the hunger of the person receiving them. Since the leather isn’t the protagonist, I understand there are others with brighter spicy/gourmand openings or better vanilla. If you want to spend on a mid-level mix between these two aspects, here it is.

  Nemo’s Italian Leather is leathery, balsamic, and woody. The opening is fresh and leathery; the leather is noticeable from the start in a fresh way. Over time, the scent becomes more balsamic with lots of myrrh and other incense-like aromas, plus woody notes. The woods are of a slightly creamy style, like sandalwood, giving it elegance, along with a subtle vanilla. Due to the heavy woody and balsamic load, it’s serious, best for special or formal occasions, and better suited for cold weather, autumn, and winter. The longevity was very good, lasting 12 hours, with a regular sillage. The only downside is the price: very expensive.

  Nemo’s Italian Leather is leathery, balsamic, and woody. Fresh opening with noticeable leather from the start. Over time, it becomes more balsamic, loaded with myrrh and incense, and woody with a creamy sandalwood that adds elegance, plus a subtle vanilla. Due to the woody and balsamic elements, it’s serious, for special or formal occasions, in cold weather (autumn and winter). It lasted 12 hours on me with regular sillage. The only downside is the price, which is very high.

  I smelled it very green at first, which I don’t dislike, with something floral. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either; it’s a mixed bag for my nose. What I like most is the earthy part; I suspect it’s the lily root and tomato with leather, but the floral note with vanilla doesn’t convince me because in the drydown it drowns out what I liked most at the start. It smells good, but I find it halfway there. I wouldn’t buy it; I feel there are more interesting proposals from Memo Paris. It’s unisex and balanced, suiting both genders.

  I was looking for a leather that, without losing its ruggedness, had a sensual counterpoint. I thought I found it with Italian Leather on paper: the mix of leather, tomato, and vanilla gives a dry, chocolatey, and earthy scent. But on skin, it was disappointing; much of the energy was muted, losing its shine, and it was hard to perceive it, except in bursts indoors. Outdoors, it’s almost unnoticeable. At 350€ here, it doesn’t seem viable. I’ll keep looking for that ‘sensual’ leather. Update 2025: I gave it another try on paper and was surprised. I bought a vial and confirmed the impression: that chocolatey scent makes Italian Leather intense, masculine, and very sensual. It conveys instinctive energy without being crude. It’s not a bomb, but you have to be careful with sprays to avoid being invasive. Ideal for outdoor gatherings or romantic dates, keeping the sprays in check. It has that energy of a wild animal resting that can unleash at any moment.

  Opens with tomato leaf: very aromatic, acidic, and green. Evolves quickly into leather, which is what remains at the end along with an amber, resinous, and quite vanilla base. The vanilla sweetens the whole thing a lot, making it unisex. In the final phase, which can last 9/10 hours, that sweetened leather lingers. It feels a bit disjointed: it gives you leather, greenery, and a sweetness that pushes the leather into the background. It’s a sour green that clashes with the sweetness. It’s more of an Italian Vanilla. I’m neither disgusted nor fully fond of it; 255€ is a lot for what it is, but as they say, there are smells for every taste.

  It doesn’t work for me. I’m not sure if it’s the vanilla or the lily, but something about the whole scent just feels terrible. It smells like my usual bad choices, and mostly, it becomes obvious the more I sniff it. The drydown is the worst part: everything bad gets intensified at the end. It smells like latex surgical gloves. That said, it lasts a long time and projects well from a distance.
