The review
On paper, Big Change is a strong bet if you want Memoir Man for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Memoir Man's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Memoir Man — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on wormwood, lavender and basil, turns to incense, cardamom and geranium, and settles into leather, vetiver and patchouli. That is the brief Big Change is working from.
Top
- wormwood
- lavender
- basil
Heart
- incense
- cardamom
- geranium
Base
- leather
- vetiver
- patchouli
Absinthe bitterness and smoky incense over leathery woods — brooding, cerebral and unmistakably Amouage.
