Amouage Memoir

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on wormwood, mint and basil, moves through incense, lavender and rose, and settles on tobacco, leather and sandalwood.

• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite
• basil: green peppery herb, straight out of a kitchen

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
