What do reviewers say about Gecko and Memoir Woman?
This is a bold, unapologetic scent that commands presence. The immortelle and saffron combination is striking without being loud, and the leather drydown is addictively smooth.Gecko
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
