What do reviewers say about Memoir Woman and Osmanthus?
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 osmanthus done the Ormonde Jayne way: no flourishes, just the flower and what it needs to breathe. It moves from bright pomelo to a quiet, vetiver-musk skin scent.Osmanthus
