What wearers say
âwarm spicy with an opening of tomato leaves, one of few tomato leaf notes that isn't bitter and appalling. the life of it being green is fairly long, and it goes nicely from green to leathery. lasted 12+ hours and had the perfect sillage, in terms of radius, managed to be long lasting without getting annoying.â
âTomato leaves + vanilla + leather = HEAVENSeriously became obsessed with tomato leaves after this one. Just. Perfect. Sweet, deep, leathery sophisticated goodness.I got a comment that I smell like the inside of luxurious new car. Took that as a compliment.Longevity - awesome;Sillage - very good but not too much in your face;Scent - AWESOME.Give it a try.â
âWhat a disaster! I love African leather, this was my second Memo exposure, but it was a massive disappointment. The opening is cheap and sweet, not at all herbal or leather-leaning. After an hour it smells like Spicebomb Extreme. After three hours, it smells like showroom car leather -- not even original leather, but like a car-seat leather cleaner/conditioner. I am shocked.â

Sillage
The clone trades some of the original's syrupy, resinous depth for a cleaner leather and musk focus, with noticeably shorter longevity (approximately 6-7 hours versus 10+ for the designer). Ana Abiyedh also presents a slightly sharper aromatic profile in the opening, missing some of the original's sophisticated animalic warmth.

Sillage
The clone sacrifices some of the original's intricacy in the base notes, particularly missing the honeyed warmth of opoponax and tolu balsam richness. Roman Leather likely has slightly shorter longevity and less prominent sweetness in the dry-down compared to the original's more layered composition.

Sillage
The clone lacks the original's complex balsamic richness (missing prominent opoponax and tolu balsam) and settles into a more linear, creamy finish. Longevity and projection are noticeably lighter on Rasasi's interpretation, making it feel less impactful than Memo's composition.

Sillage
The clone trades some of the original's complexity and longevity for a more straightforward leather-forward composition. Dua's version may project slightly less and lacks the subtle aromatic complexity that makes Italian Leather feel genuinely luxurious.
