What does Memoir Woman (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters pick winter and fall, and lean towards evening and night-out wear; daily and office use get far fewer votes. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Though classed as feminine, some voters read it as masculine or classic.
It opens with mandarin orange, cardamom, absinth and pink pepper for a spicy brightness. The heart brings clove, black pepper, rose, jasmine and white blossoms together with dark woods and frankincense. The base of labdanum, leather, oakmoss and castoreum dries down sweet, animalic and smoky.
