    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
    This is a fragrance for people who want scent as argument, not wallpaper. The concept is extraordinary, city monument, distilled. But here's the thing: it also simply smells good.DEN
