What do reviewers say about Memoir Woman and Saffron Extrait?
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
Saffron at this intensity isn't for the cautious. If you've been burned by synthetic spices before, this changes things. M.H Gerashi went bold, and the 8-10 hour longevity means there's no walking.Saffron Extrait
