What do reviewers say about Memoir Woman and Ambrosine?
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
If you're drawn to jasmine's animalic edge, Ambrosine is built for you. The jasmine absolute here is unapologetically raw, backed by a warm amber-moss base that keeps it grounded rather than heady.Ambrosine
