Amouage Memoir Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Dorothée Piot and Daniel Maurel. Memoir Woman opens with Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Woody, Rose, Jasmine, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Oakmoss, and Castoreum. Amouage's Memoir Woman carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Memoir Woman is utterly captivating and divisive. It's a dark, complex masterpiece for those who dare, but be warned - it challenges and provokes. This isn't a crowd-pleaser; it's a statement.

About

Memoir Woman immediately plunges you into a gothic fairytale with a potent blend of wormwood and cardamom, sharpened by pink pepper. The heart unfurls with a rich, smoky incense and clove, softened by deep rose and jasmine, while woody notes provide a mysterious forest-like depth. The base is an animalic dream of castoreum and labdanum, grounded by leather and oakmoss, creating an intoxicating, dark and sensual dry-down with hints of a liqueur-like sweetness.
