    What do reviewers say about Black Roses and Memoir Woman?

    Alkemia doesn't do safe, and Black Roses is proof. This isn't rose as afterthought, it's rose as statement. The oud and saffron don't soften it, they sharpen it.Black Roses
    Memoir Woman is uncompromising. The absinthe and clove make it aggressive at first, and the oakmoss drydown is unapologetically vintage. This is not a safe blind buy.Memoir Woman
