I agree with your comments. Both quite nice scents but not stunning. Of the two, Russian Leather is the more "foresty" - the pine needle, coniferous note is more pronounced at the start. The overall feeling is of a clean smelling fougere. Memoir Man is marginally more interesting because of the incense, smoke and subtle leather which I pick up almost as soon as I spray it. For a completely different forest smelling scent, perhaps try Chypre Mousse by Oriza L. Legrand.

Yes, I like them both but I’m not completely blown away. I’ll try to get hold of a sample of your recommendation! Thanks for the comment 🙏

Thank you for this first impressions, Daniel. You've pretty much nailed it before even smelling them!
My Memoir sample sits between Epic and Journey. I'm a big fan of Karine Vinchon Spehner, with Overture and Myths being my favorites. On my skin, it's one of the weaker performers of house Amouage, but I quite like the easy going scent.
I never got (yet) to appreciate Memo, I feel like their DNA contains leather, it's not just the names, in the same fashion its sister brand often focuses on tea & flowers accords.

Thanks so much for the comment! I’ve done some research and I also grown to know what to expect from certain houses. I also REALLY like Karine’s work, pretty much everything from her is great Amouage wise and I do agree Journey smells pretty similar in the tobacco note.

Memoir man is a very good and interesting fragrance. For me it's a leather scent like a brand new black leather jacket

[@SeldomlyOften]

I also get that leather feeling 🙂

Interesting you talk about signature scents - for me it’s all about the journey rather than the destination, but I could definitely see Memoir Man as an excellent candidate

[@SeldomlyOften]

Same here, I’m way more for the wild ride and I do agree that Memoir could be a great end game fragrance (if it were a little stronger).

[@AndreasHamberg]

You should definitely give African Leather a chance, I can recommend it wholeheartedly

[@SeldomlyOften]

I plan on getting a bottle when I find it at a decent price!

Memoir man is the best fragrance ever made in my opinion. Yet, I didn’t care for any MEMO fragrances. Also, I’ve heard that 2 sprays of the 2 ml samples equals 1 spray of a regular bottle. So, you might want to go up to 4 sprays.

I think it’s an amazing all rounder!
