Lush and languid like an afternoon drive through the Italian countryside, Italian Leather opens with the surprising greenness of tomato leaf glossed by soft vanilla before easing into a supple leather accord wrapped in resinous warmth. The ride stays smooth and elegant as myrrh, labdanum, benzoin, and balsams add a sun-warmed glow, while a gentle powdery iris touch keeps everything chic and wearable for day or evening.

Story and Positioning
A cornerstone of Memo’s Cuirs Nomades, Italian Leather channels dolce vita through a green leather theme where tomato leaf and smooth vanilla meet polished hides. It sits alongside travel-ready leathers such as Irish Leather and French Leather, offering the line’s most relaxed, sunlit take on the genre. If you enjoy refined leather with a plush resinous base rather than a smoky style, this fits beautifully within that sophisticated space.
Bottle and Design
The bottle is a tall rectangular column in deep-tinted glass with a smooth, cylindrical cap in soft gold. The front label presents a stylised Italian landscape of rolling hills and cypress-lined roads in black and warm gold, with a clean name plaque above the Memo Paris mark. The presentation box is sturdy and textured for a keepsake feel that looks elegant on a vanity.
