The Scoop

The releases from the house of Amouage over the past three years have had a uniting thread: uncomporomised richness and beauty. Their new series Memoir presents a new chapter in this narrative as conceived by Creative Director, Christopher Chong. Turning the industry norm of a dominant woman's fragrance on its head, Chong instead conceived the two Memoir fragrances from an inherently male point of view. Together, the Memoir fragrances offer a new interpretation of the "space" between man and woman, one that is almost impossible to resist.

Memoir Woman is a scent of shadows. A mystical Chypre that borrows the Absinth top-notes of Memoir Man and unites them with a dance of Pink Pepper and Cardamom. Dark Woods, Frankincense with White Blossoms, shimmering Jasmine and Rose provide the richly-beating heart notes while Labdanum, Leather, Musk and Oakmoss at the base provide a smoky, sultry conclusion to the fragrance. There's rarely been a new release that makes us swoon; this is one.

Memoir Woman Notes

Absynth, cardamom, mandarin orange, pink pepper, wormwood, clove, incense, pepper, jasmine, rose, white flowers, musk, french labdanum, oak moss, styrax, leather

Here's what other people are saying about Memoir Woman...

This is one of my first Amouage fragrances, and it introduced me to perfume complexity that is harmonious, modern, and sensual. It itsn’t a daytime perfume, more of a scent to put on with a Carline Gilson silk strap nightgown or a bare shouldered dress at an event. Magnificent.

You're 23 years old and you're visiting your girlfriend's apartment. It's the middle of sunny day, but her windows are covered with black-out curtains, darkening the room. She's burning some sticky incense on her dresser near a vase of dying roses that you had gotten her a few weeks ago. She's wearing Pomegranate Burt's Bees Lip Balm, and you can taste it as you share a sweet clove cigar together and watch these bright lines of light escape through her curtains and pass through the smoke to dance on her ceiling. She lays her head on your chest while you slowly run your fingers through her vanilla hair. Memoir Woman by Amouage.

Horrible! Smells like a strong, cloying old woman's perfume. Had to scrub this one off. Nothing even slightly unisex about it. Nothing mysterious or mystical here either. I used to work fund raiser events where lots of older people would attend. This reminded me of the 80 year old women who would show up wearing their nice dresses with far too many sprays of their favorite perfume. It has that "sour" old person note that seems very popular among ladies of a certain generation who love to spray lots of perfume. If you don't want to smell like an old woman, I'd stay far away from this stuff.

This is simply beautiful. The scents is mysterious, warmth and intense, it smells very romantic with good lasting power plus the bottle is beautiful. Definitely could be unisex. 100% perfect for a special dinner or winter time :)

Gorgeous, warm, dark, amazing, magical, great for evening and night.

Ok is it just me or does this smell a LOT like a Creed? Specifically Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie. I just can't get past that. It is mostly Jasmine on me with an animalic note. Not one of my favorites from Amouage.

I am sorry to say that this has been reformulated.... It smells watered down and the depth is gone. I m very disappointed, I had hoped Amouage would hold up better than other brands in this respect but clearly either IFRA or greed has gotten the better of them.

FANTASTIC! - This incredible scent makes it worth smelling 100 others to find it. If you're burnt out on mediocre, or even good stuff, give your senses a treat and try this holy grail juice.

This is such a wonderful fragrance! It feels more floral oriental than chypre to me. I get a smokey, musky leather, with sweetness of white flowers, mostly tuberose, just a hint, very refined. I am glad that there is no patchouli here, at least not to my nose, even though this fragrance is qualified as a chypre. The strength of all Amouage perfumes lies in their high quality components, the sublime blending and the resulting smoothness of the smell. I am very happy with my FB, no regrets!

Ahhh! Oakmoss! Finally something that will someday be a replacement for my old beloved pre-reformulation Mitsouko. This is a sultry stunner.

very romantic, poetic and amazing fragrance.... i want it!

By tally - from Omaha on 1/23/2011

lovely, but not dirty and dark like press materials imply. If Le Labo Patchouli 24 is doing it with a stranger in the back of taxi, Memoir is closing your eyes for a moment to pretend your long time lover is someone else. Cozy, very "fall" with the eensiest touch of naughty.

By Mme Bourgeois on 12/18/2010

This has to be the sexiest scent that I have come across in a long time.I get so many compliments with this,so unique!! fb worthy Thank you Amouage!!

Really great stuff - goes on strong, but dries down quieter and is not overpowering. A beautiful symphony of sweet and floral notes, just the faintest hint of incense.

By Anonymous - from San Diego on 12/7/2010

I am not a fan of chypre fragrances, or of leather fragrances, but surprisingly I really like this. It is a very gentle, refined chypre, and may not satisfy true chypre fans, but if you want something elegant, feminine, and very long-lasting, it is worth giving it a try.

By dawnlady - from UK on 12/4/2010

This is a magnificent scent. I do believe it borders a bit on the unisex level, and perhaps in that fact lies its wonderful tempting flavors. It is expensive, yes, but what good things in life are not?
