African Leather by Memo Eau De Parfum Spray oz for Women

African Leather by Memo Paris is a unisex Eau de Parfum that redefines leather with a sophisticated, multifaceted blend.

Practical tips for wearing African Leather

• Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck) and allow the fragrance to settle; the leather and oud notes unfold more fully as the day progresses.
• A single or two light spritzes are typically enough to project without overpowering nearby people in close settings.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the complexity of the spices and woods.
