    Real talk

    Some fragrances hint at rose. This one buries the disclaimer and opens with six of them, pink, red, white, vintage. Dense, powdery, full-throttle. If you've been burned by rose fragrances that smell.Luscious Roses
    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
