Skin water
Colognes are my great passion, fragrances with a postmodern leather note I rather like less. This is where both come together. I appreciate very much the so called leather scents of old tradition, which were originally supposed to cover with ambergris, animal notes (Zibet, Bibergeil, musk) and spicy woody notes of traditional leather processing (in this style: Knize Ten, Hermès Bel Ami, Chanel Cuir de Russie, Roja Fetish pour Homme etc.).), but I don't appreciate the newer synthetic leather notes, which remind me of Verloursleder (known especially for the reasonably successful Tuscan Leather and its offshoots) and which have been flooding the fragrance market for some years now.
This characteristic leather note also appears more frequently in Memo, but is varied ambitiously, so that many fragrances show original characteristics.
I find Eau de Memo particularly exciting and almost outstanding, because this is a Cologne that shows all the characteristics of a classic Cologne water in its top note, but then very quickly presents an initially subtle leather note that later becomes more and more present. This is a very original combination (Kölnisch Wässer, which contain a dark, heavy component I once called "Schwarze Colognes": see under my collections) and find it particularly innovative.
The inclined tester expects a light, citrus-fresh, neroli bergamot scent with herbaceous components from a Cologne. When a dark, warm note is added, this creates exciting contrasts that can enliven the tradition of the Kölnisch Wässer. The leather and saffron are very good for this.
In addition to the lemon bergamot note at the beginning and the leather accord in the heart and base, the characteristic lime green, slightly powdery note of green tea and subtle floral and spicy accents are easily recognisable in this fragrance. The price, however, is high and turns a purchase into a small investment. That's why I thank Zauber600 so much for increasing my stocks by a few milliliters
