What do reviewers say about Vanilla Firenze and Memoir Woman?
Three vanillas and the expertise of two perfumers combine in this composition. The Italian iris and smoky warmth create something worth savoring, a vanilla for people who appreciate complexity over.Vanilla Firenze
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
