What do reviewers say about ONSEN and Memoir Man?
ONSEN is a fougère, a shower-gel fougère, some say, and they're not wrong. The herbs are creamy, not sharp. The aquatic isn't ozonic. It's the kind of composition that asks you to settle in.ONSEN
Memoir Man opens like a dare. That absinthe, sharp, bitter, not for everyone. But the people who get it? They wear nothing else. The wormwood isn't a quirk. It's the whole point.Memoir Man
