A closer look at Memo Paris Italian Leather EDP
Italian Leather EDP comes from Memo Paris. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €207. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs less than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac and Amouage Reflection 45.
Italian Leather longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Yves Saint Laurent Opium lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and vanilla absolute are the part that stays longest on the skin.
