MEMO Paris Irish Leather Eau de Parfum Unisex
“It’s one of those icy, biting
mornings. The sun scarcely manages to break through the heavy grey
clouds. The air is crisp and dry, and the wind slips beneath my clothes.
The North wind whips the grass that sticks to my boots. I walk into the
stable and swing open the wooden tack room doors, freeing the burning
scent of leather, wood, amber and honey. Its age-old odor stands out
sharply in the frozen morning air. My horse whinnies softly. It’s the
smell of her freedom. The leather gathers in the wind, the grass warms
with the wood. Irish Leather gallops off into the horizon.”
MEMO co-founder John Molloy is understandably proud of his rural
Irish upbringing, and Irish Leather, the first of MEMO’s Cuirs Nomades
series, positively sings of Ireland’s rustic beauty. Opening notes of
juniper, pink pepper and clary sage whisk us away to the wild
countryside, while the leather- sharp, well-worn and deeply animalic-
gives us the barn, the saddle and the horse all at once. Comforting yet
forlorn, stark yet vibrantly beautiful, Irish Leather is among the most
wonderfully wearable leathers we’ve ever experienced.
