Memories

The notes read as a single blend rather than a layered pyramid: blood orange, grapefruit and apple give a bright, fruity side, while cade juniper, birch tar and frankincense add a smoky, resinous depth. Cinnamon and black pepper bring spice, and civet with castoreum lend an animalic, leathery weight.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. With its woody, spicy build it suits men and women who want a fragrance with character. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Afghano Oudh and Puig Quorum have a close profile.
