What do reviewers say about Memoir Woman and Venetian Belladonna?
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
Beeswax in perfumery is a statement. Honeyed, waxy, unusual, this is not a safe blind buy. But if you're the wearer who chooses it, you'll find something here that lasts well past midnight.Venetian Belladonna
