The review
On paper, Desert Rawhides is a strong bet if you want African Leather for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is African Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 74% less than African Leather — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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
The original opens on cardamom, saffron and cumin, turns to leather, oud and tobacco, and settles into patchouli, musk and amber. That is the brief Desert Rawhides is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- saffron
- cumin
Heart
- leather
- oud
- tobacco
Base
- patchouli
- musk
- amber
Cumin-dusted saffron over hot animal hide, dusty, spicy and thoroughly untamed.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Memo Paris African Leather we can price, Desert Rawhides is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Alexandria Fragrances African Magic $110/100ml
- 02 Perfume Parlour Desert Rawhides $122/100ml
