Iberian Leather feels like a lion’s stride across the Iberian peninsula translated into scent, opening with aromatic brightness before sinking into a shadowed tapestry of leather, woods, and spice. Geranium, coriander, rosemary, and bergamot create a fresh yet herbaceous lift, a generous floral heart adds glow and texture, and the base unfurls a commanding leather accord cushioned by oud, oakmoss, sandalwood, and balsam fir for a long, resonant trail.

Story and Positioning
Created within Memo Paris Cuirs Nomades, Iberian Leather channels the spirit of Córdoba leatherwork and the peninsula’s vast horizons, pairing aromatic citrus with a deep leather accord for an assertive yet elegant signature. It sits alongside African Leather, Irish Leather, Sicilian Leather, and Ocean Leather as a cornerstone of the brand’s travel-inspired leather anthology. If you enjoy powerful, spicy leathers, it is often compared with Orto Parisi Cuoium and Boadicea the Victorious Complex while maintaining its own lion-hearted identity.
Bottle and Design
A tall rectangular flacon in weighty clear glass carries a striking lion illustration on the front plate, a nod to heraldic Spain. The metallic cap adds a polished crown, and the graphic artwork by Jean Mallard gives the bottle a strong shelf presence that reads collectible and travel journal worthy, perfectly aligned with the Cuirs Nomades universe.
