Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Memoir Man Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Noire Eau de Toilette
Eau Noire isn't for the faint-hearted. It's a divisive masterpiece, with people either loving its unique blend or finding it absolutely repulsive. Definitely a try-before-you-buy, but for those who get it, it's an unforgettable ride.

Season and Occasion Fit

Memoir Man Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its dark, smoky, and leathery profile leans into more intimate or formal settings. While not overpowering in newer batches, its unique and potent character makes it less suited for a typical office or sporty environment. It excels in cooler weather, making it ideal for evening dates or sophisticated gatherings.

Noire Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its distinctive and sometimes 'curry-like' herbal opening, combined with moderate projection, makes it a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its sophisticated and mysterious character shines on a date or formal evening event, especially in cooler weather, where its warmth is appreciated.
