"The "king of beasts" for the "leather of the leathers""
After what felt like endless days of rain and constant cloud cover, the sun finally managed to break through again today. Probably the perfect time to unleash the Iberian beast and the last fragrance from the Memo Paris Journey Book on myself, Iberian Leather
The first impression is smoky leather in your face. As if the mighty cat of prey were to leap onto your neck and bite hard. You feel like Hercules, who wore the skin of the Nemean lion on his shoulders. While the leather in African Leather Eau de Parfum was incorporated rather subliminally, in this case it is very expressive and potent - fitting for a lion. As the fragrance progresses, it softens a little and becomes less harsh and more spicy with floral undertones. I'm not at all surprised that 87% of the 55 users of the fragrance on EssenceVitae are male, despite its unisex categorization. What surprises me more is the rating of 6.9 points for the fragrance. Apparently, opinions differ greatly and the fragrance seems to be a matter of taste. The most frequent ratings are in the following ranges:
19x 6 points
40x 7 points
21x 8 points
14x 9 points
Even though I personally like the fragrance very much and would have expected a higher average rating, opinions seem to differ greatly. So rather not a blind buy candidate.

The performance does justice to a magnificent lion. You can simply rely on leather fragrances in this respect. Four sprays on my neck and I was able to smell it myself for a full 8 hours, majestically roaring, king of the beasts.

The bottle is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Memo is generally known for its artistic motifs, but this bottle stands out even more. "The "king of beasts" for the "leather of the leathers"" writes the manufacturer and I think it's a great statement. The lion was inspired by the Spanish coat of arms and symbolizes courage, nobility, royalty, strength, splendour and bravery. Aspects that the fragrance reflects with its impressive bottle and powerful DNA.

If you take a closer look at Memo Paris, you will quickly realize that the fragrances are not cheap. ~180 euros for 75ml is not a little, but considering the great fragrance DNA, the mega performance and the outstanding bottle, there is no criticism that speaks against the price.

In the battle of the big cats, the leopard surprisingly wins against the lion this time, because African Leather Eau de Parfum remains my favorite Memo Paris fragrance. Nevertheless, Iberian Leather is definitely worth a try and should be a complete success with men who like powerful and expressive leather fragrances.

The Lagavulin among memos

This prelude is a strong piece! With a very strong leather accord I had expected after the pre-read descriptions and classifications; I was surprised and overwhelmed by the fantastic, dark smokiness, with which the leather comes along, and which is probably due to the oud. This immediately conjures up associations of winter evenings by the fireplace, in a leather armchair, with a sip of smoky and peaty Lagavulin Single Malt. Thus, "Iberian Leather" has me immediately on its side. It is anything but pleasing, rather rugged and edgy, rough. But at the same time of a balanced sophistication, because the different notes combine to a very balanced whole, which after the brilliant start becomes softer over time, without losing its pithiness.
After a short time, a somewhat fresher spiciness (coriander) joins the still dominant leather-smoke accord; very briefly even a par citrus hints are noticeable. Then the woody base becomes more present, in which the Atlas cedar plays a supporting role. The fragrance now becomes softer; the floral notes may be more prominent here, iris lends a certain powderiness. However, I cannot speak of the rose being particularly prominent or even dominant in the foreground, as mentioned in some reviews. Rather, the various aspects of the fragrance appear in the course of different perceptible, but remain in the background and carry or support so in turn and in their respective way the dominant leather accord. This thus remains lively and varied, so that the fragrance does not seem too monolithic.

To the conclusion (that is, much, much later), the fragrance then becomes increasingly gentle: sandalwood, musk, a touch of vanilla. As a counterpoint, only a trace of scratchy oud. The smokiness is barely noticeable, the leather has become supple soft, still remains long as a hint.

The durability is, as you would expect, excellent, the charisma at the beginning overwhelming and then very strong for a long time. In general, the performance could be characterized with the same understatement with which Rolls-Royce indicates the strength of its engines, as "completely sufficient in any situation". For this, the heraldic lion of León on the bottle is not a badly chosen symbolic animal, even if I find that the presentation here is not one of the most successful in the generally very stylish series - but that is of course a matter of taste and may see everyone differently. In any case, the packaging is as high quality as the fragrance. Cheap he is therefore truly not, but since you should not overdose him anyway, you also come with a modest amount quite far.

According to the manufacturer unisex, "Iberian Leather" is for me a very masculine fragrance. But the ladies may of course like to see it differently. On Lagavulin I was also made aware of a woman who has even named her cat after her favorite whiskey.

I hate loving you.
Dried suede with powdered spices wafting around. My guilty pleasure. The opening isn’t miles from African leather with a touch more citrus and a smidge less cardamon. I initially didn’t care for it but now I crave it. The drydown, however. is something else entirely.

Possibly my driest fragrance, when it’s warm this can ramp up after 2 hours to become room filling and, possibly, irritating. In the cold it’s much tamer. I don’t have a lot occasions to wear this. Festivals, maybe concerts or outdoor markets. But I wear it at home a lot, far too often for the cost frankly. This is the fragrance that I do not care everyone else hates it. This was made for me (but retail priced for someone much wealthier.)

I’d only recommend it to one of those tortured artists that lives in an impossibly large loft studio downtown. Maybe a travel influencer or if you perform in dressage.

I just wish I didn’t love it so much.

Smells good, leathery but it's too much in all sides. Like it was done by an intern which put all notes together. Very nice citrussy drydown

Smooth, minimal leather with herbal and woody undertone. There's a bit of floral but much more subtle than French Leather from the same line

A complex broth of aromatics, woods, spice, florals, resins. somehow it all adds up to a decent leather scent.

Leather that is both coarse and floral is well done. Also effective, unfortunately, is the "pickled cucumber" note that appears at times.
