• Middle Notes: Herbal Notes, Iris, Ginger

• Base Notes: Leather, Birch, Amber, Tonka Bean

The Experience

• Scent Description: Unlike the "warm, sweet, or animalic" leathers typically found in Middle Eastern perfumery, Sapphire Leather is a Green, Aromatic, and Cold leather. It opens with a sharp, "piney" freshness from the juniper and pink pepper. The heart is very herbal and clean, while the base reveals a "new car" style leather supported by smoky birch. There is almost no sweetness here; it is unapologetically dry and bold.

• The "Irish Leather" Connection: Reviewers overwhelmingly compare it to Memo Paris Irish Leather. It captures that specific "windy, grassy, leather-jacket-in-the-Irish-countryside" vibe but with significantly boosted performance.

• Vibe: It is described as "nuclear," "masculine," and "classy." It has a "laser-bright" intensity that feels very sophisticated and high-end. It recently went viral after appearing on Love is Blind: Habibi.

Performance & Best Use

• Longevity: Eternal. This is one of the strongest fragrances in the Ibraheem AlQurashi lineup, lasting 10+ hours on skin and several days on clothes.

• Sillage: Enormous. It has heavy projection that can easily fill a room and leave a massive scent trail.

• Season: Winter and Spring. The "cold green" aspect makes it excellent for breezy weather, while its sheer power helps it cut through the winter cold.

• Gender: Marketed as Unisex, but the heavy juniper, leather, and lack of sweetness lead many reviewers to categorize it as Masculine-leaning.
