What wearers say
“I ♥ this one. I don't know what Irish leather smells like but OMG. A smokey berry leather that is pretty good. Longevity is a beast. Perfect for the late fall through winter. Might invest in a bottle of this one.It’s clean and masculine with great performance. Lasts all workday and can really project.”
“Great leather perfume, really strong (especially the opening, wowza!), good projection and longevity. You can definitely smell the yerba mate in this one, so the leather is not sweet and on the dry side. With Memo leathers I think that the only safe blind buy is French Leather. It`s definitely a statement perfume, on the masculine side ofc and it`s wonderful. Smells luxurious and the dry down is beautiful, lasts for days on clothing.”
“Nuanced and unique, Irish Leather is so well made, and works perfectly as a sample, but I'm not sure I would buy this due to its price and performance.Out the gates it's dry, green and fresh, and dries down to a soft almost rain drenched Leather. I admit its charming but I struggle to think where I would wear this fregrance.As all Memo scents it's a delicate masterpiece, but projection and longevity are just not there given the price.”

The clone replaces juniper's brightness with cardamom and adds oud/musk that aren't present in the original, resulting in a warmer but less sophisticated scent. Longevity favors the clone, though sillage and projection differ noticeably from the designer's more balanced presentation.
