What do reviewers say about Ambrosia and Memoir Woman?
Gourmand without the usual sugar rush. The honey reads natural here, not syrupy, closer to the real thing from the jar than any synthetic imitation. If you've avoided sweet fragrances as performative.Ambrosia
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
