Real talk
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
Some fragrances hint at rose. This one buries the disclaimer and opens with six of them, pink, red, white, vintage. Dense, powdery, full-throttle. If you've been burned by rose fragrances that smell.Luscious Roses
