Real talk
This is osmanthus done the Ormonde Jayne way: no flourishes, just the flower and what it needs to breathe. It moves from bright pomelo to a quiet, vetiver-musk skin scent.Osmanthus
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
