The review

Worth a try. That is where Memoir Man lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Memoir Man.

Oil Perfumery 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.

At $117 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Memoir Man — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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

What it is chasing: wormwood, lavender and basil up top, incense, cardamom and geranium in the middle, leather, vetiver and patchouli underneath — the shape of Amouage Memoir Man.

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.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Amouage Memoir Man we can price, Memoir Man is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 HK Perfumes Big Change $89/100ml
  2. 02 Oil Perfumery Memoir Man $117/100ml
  3. 03 Oil Perfumery Amouage $117/100ml
