What do reviewers say about Fam and Memoir Woman?
The vinyl note will either hook you immediately or make you pause. That's the point, it shouldn't work, pairing warm lactonic cream with something that smells like a record jacket, but it does.Fam
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
