    What do reviewers say about True Love and Memoir Woman?

    True Love is named with intention. What it actually smells like: a blend of herbal and powdery notes, honey that doesn't apologize for existing, and a warmth that settles close to the skin.True Love
    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
