What Is Rasasi Junoon Velvet Pour Homme a Dupe Of?

What is Rasasi Junoon Velvet Pour Homme a clone of?

Rasasi Junoon Velvet Pour Homme is a clone of Memo Paris Italian Leather. Tomato leaf, leather and vanilla are the giveaway. It's an unusual combination: something green and leafy sitting alongside leather, with sweetness underneath.

Make sure you're looking at Junoon Velvet Pour Homme. Junoon Velvet Pour Femme and the other Junoon releases have their own profiles, so the full name matters when you're checking a listing or ordering a sample.

What connects the two?

Both note profiles put tomato leaf, leather and vanilla right at the top. Tomato leaf is the interesting part here. Think of the green smell of the plant rather than a bowl of ripe tomatoes. If that sounds appealing, this pairing gives you something different from the usual fruity or smoky leather fragrance.

The overlap carries on through the middle, with orris, galbanum, labdanum and clary sage appearing in both profiles. They also share sandalwood, musk, myrrh, benzoin and tolu balsam. There's plenty in common beyond a single headline note.

Where should you look for differences?

We'd start with the balance between the greenery and the vanilla. A long list of shared notes doesn't tell you which one takes the lead, how sharp that leafy opening feels, or how sweet the fragrance becomes later.

Italian Leather's profile also lists opoponax, while Junoon Velvet's doesn't. That gives you another detail to explore, but it doesn't tell us exactly how the two will compare on your skin. The leather texture and the way the resins sit around it are more useful things to judge than counting matching ingredients.

Is Junoon Velvet worth a look?

We'd shortlist it if Italian Leather's green leather-and-vanilla combination is what caught your attention. If you're unsure about tomato leaf, try a sample first and give it time beyond the opening. That unusual green note is part of the appeal, so it's worth finding out whether you enjoy it.
