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
The leather here is unapologetically dark. It doesn't ask permission. But the plum and rose keep it from reading masculine, they pull it back toward something luxurious, almost decadent.Valentino Donna Noir Absolu
