Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Memoir Man EDP
Memoir Man is a deeply divisive blend of gothic green and smoky leather, with its once-legendary performance now a mere memory. Expect a unique, artistic scent that's either a mysterious masterpiece or a watery disappointment, depending on the batch and your luck.
