    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
    There's a version of sandalwood that's polite. This isn't it. Four sandalwoods layered together create something that refuses to sit still, it shifts, deepens, gets weird.Sol Niger Within
