African Leather EDP by Memo 75ML

African Leather was launched in 2015.

Inspired by the African continent, this fragrance unveils warm spicy notes of cardamom and saffron over a floral touch of geranium, which mingle with a leather accord to give life to an exceptional wild leather.

In this original birthplace, where the singing of languages and cultures rises, I hear a voice of oud and vetiver. A murmur of bergamot and geranium. In front of me, infinite landscapes. Deserts, meadows, patchouli, lakes, oceans, saffron, bush, moss, grapefruit, cedar, savannas, mangroves, cardamom, musk and cumin. Between dry and rainy seasons, I discern a path. I witness a dance. A ballet of dresses and manes, paws and scales, leather, leather, leather. Felines, giraffes, crocodiles, antelopes, elephants, begin an alert choreography. A new song resounds, I listen to the chorus of a continent.

South Africa is where geranium first grew in the wild, and its presence in African Leather is a nod to its origins. Sustainably cultivated in Egypt, this particular geranium has a floral, aromatic and green character that encounters hand-picked Guatemalan cardamom, a spice with green, fruity, almost-candied accents that was used as incense in Ancient Egyptian times. These two ingredients steeped in history give African Leather the power of a fragrance imbued with memory.
