What wearers say

“Very strong, sharp spices. Opening is backed up by cinnamon which blends into a slightly smoother leather smell. Reminds me of a Middle Eastern spice market. Dry.Got around 8 hours on this one before it faded, projection was decent for the first few hours.For the price I'm not that impressed, I thought this was one of the cheaper niche houses but 235 for 75ml is pushing it.Fairly linear and lacks complexity, but if spices are your thing it might be worth checking out.”

“African Leather is an amazing, cozy, warm fragrance. It opens with beautiful warm spicy notes and dries down into a rich, spicy leather base. On my skin, it has excellent longevity and projection, and it easily lasts up to two days on my clothes. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth the money.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Sharp, fizzy citrus with spices, and leather opening. Longevity is more than 8 hours because I could smell African Leather halo around me even after 8 hours. Badass Sillage and a masculine leaning scent profile. Dry down also doesn't disappoint and stays spicy with sharp fizzy citrus with leather in the background.To get the full effect, try on very cold weather end in evening/ night.”

Sillage

The clone slightly softens the spice intensity and saffron prominence compared to the original's more assertive opening. Longevity and sillage are reportedly marginally reduced, though still substantial for a clone offering.

The clone likely exhibits slightly less complexity in the oud-leather marriage and may have reduced projection compared to the original Memo formulation. Drydown characteristics may differ subtly in how the vetiver-musk base evolves over time.
