Irish Leather by Memo Paris is a green leather eau de parfum inspired by the Irish origins of the house's cofounder. Peppery juniper and mandarin meet aromatic sage, iris and maté over leather, cedarwood and vetiver, creating a bracing, outdoorsy character suited to cooler days and evenings.
Paradox Orient is a 2023 unisex Eau de Parfum built around ambergris and bergamot over amber. The published Fragrantica pyramid is unusually sparse, while Parfumo lists a different structure centred on juniper berry, leather, amber, maté and tonka bean. The consistent wearer impression is a green leather fragrance with amber warmth rather than a simple amber scent.
