What do reviewers say about Memoir Woman and Blonde Amber?
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
This is unabashed luxury. Blonde Amber does not whisper, it speaks with authority. Its warmth invites, making it surprisingly versatile for day or night.Blonde Amber
