Memoir Man
It starts on wormwood. It ends, hours later, on Tonka Bean. Amouage Memoir Man is everything that happens in between.

How it moves
The first breath is wormwood, lavender, basil and pink pepper, and it is loud about it. Incense, cardamom and geranium are where it actually lives. The base is leather, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss and Tonka Bean. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
