SOTD: Memo Paris African Leather

Yesterday was a nice day, it was a sunny beautiful 80 degree day. It was a Mancera Intense Cedrat Boise day, citrus, fruits and leather, but that was yesterday.

Today the weather has taken a negative turn. Wet and cold rain with temps falling throughout into the evening. Needless to say I wanted something that would be more welcoming to the weather. Warm, smooth and invitingly luxurious. So I reached for one I have been neglecting, African Leather.

The reason for the neglect is that my daily work environment is not as conducive to complex fragrance. Most days the hallways are awash with the wake of last nights Dior Sauvage and dorm room funk. So to wear something this dark and mysterious would be a little… confusing for those occupying those halls.

This fragrance with that cardamom and pepper opening pulls you in and holds onto you with the leather and oud. It makes its presence known but also slinks into whatever darkness it can find. It wants to be worn when things are going to get a bit more… interesting.

When the wife walked in she took a deep pull at the air and with a glint in her eye said in a sultry way “I do love that African Leather”.

Yesterday was a nice day, but today is turning out perfect.
