The review
Carve On scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Irish Leather.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Irish Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Irish Leather — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Memo Paris Irish Leather is juniper berries, cardamom and green mate at first, leather and violet leaf at its heart and Tonka Bean, musk and woody notes at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
