Thanks for your great review. Reading this makes me want to have Memoir more
I apologize in advance for this kind of rambling post. I've not slept much lately and have woken up early today (4:30am!) after only a few hours of sleep. Unable to get back to sleep, I thought I'd write about my impressions of Memoir Man which I tested while Basenotes was down. I'll be adding more to the thread as I wear it again and clarify my impressions and understanding of this scent.
Amouage Memoir Man
Category: Leather / Woody Fougere
Top Notes: Absinth, Wormwood, Basil, Mint
Heart Notes: Rose, Frankincense, Lavender Absolute
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Guaiac wood, Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Oakmoss, Leather, Tobacco
This scent is really quite interesting. I definitely need to give it another few wearings before I fully understand it, but I will give some initial impressions.
This starts out with a very realistic absinthe accord. It's rounder and deeper (and has less pine/fir) than the accord in Fou d'Absinthe, and is not the brutal live wormwood plant accord in the opening of Yatagan. Here you get a hint of wormwood oil (which is aromatic, green, almost minty like spearmint but darker and smoother and more full bodied), a very round anise note that persists through most of the fragrance, and a mint note that smells more like mint leaf than mint toothpaste or mint gum. The mint is a minor player though, so do not fear. I couldn't detect the basil as a standalone note but have a feeling that it is acting in such a way to flesh out the accord which could otherwise be too aromatic and thin. Well, this is anything but thin.
The opening of this scent is dark, mysterious, and hard to pin down as the notes dance and swirl like the opalescence in a fresh absinthe louche. It is unmistakably green but is not rendered with hues of green normally seen in perfumery. We get an almost washed out green with hints of olive and black tones.. something like this
The anise element of the absinthe accord is present from early on in the fragrance well into the drydown and imparts a round darkness to the scent that hums quietly in the background - never silent but never obtrusive. Quickly the anise accord is joined by a dark woody accord.. cedar rounded out with lavender absolute. Lavender absolute smells quite a bit different than lavender oil - it is sweet and round and coumarinic and yet dark and has some fruity/berry elements. In Memoir man it never jumps to the fore but acts to deepen the absinthe accord and perhaps more importantly round off the woody notes.
The drydown features a prominent cedar/guaiac accord that is subtly smoky. The oakmoss is detectable via the leathery and slightly salty notes it provides.
This scent is unquestionably dark and woody. Unquestionably darker and more brooding than Epic, and also more woody where Epic was more spice oriented. This is just as resolutely masculine as Epic Man, but far less oriental in nature. Memoir Man has an undeniable European feel, not so much as in the European tradition of perfumery, but instead a post-industrialized Europe that is just moving into the Romantic Era. The opening is downright melancholic. The dry down is beautiful but there is always a sense of bleakness present throughout - a black thread woven throughout the fragrance. And yet the scent is so very strong, not only in projection and sillage (both of which are as notable as in Epic Man!), but there is a sort of.. assuredness present that stands resolute against the melancholy and prevents the scent from ever becoming depressing.
The green elements of the opening last for the first hour or maybe two and this is where the scent is most enjoyable, to me. The drydown does become progressively "more similar" to Gucci PH (the original), with a fairly strong pencil shaving cedar accord tempered here by the lavender absolute, rose and vanilla (and I think I smell a bit of jasmine?) but as mentioned, this scent always retains a darkness that the Gucci never has. In Memoir, the accord is also fuller and weightier. Gucci PH is more like an idealized autumn day, while Memoir Man is that same day plunged into darkness as a storm rolls in.
Fans of Gucci PH, Fou d'Absinthe, Yatagan, Epic Man, and anyone who enjoys dark scents or very woody scents should definitely check out Memoir Man. I'm not 100% sold on the dry down yet - I wish it had more jasmine or something to smooth it out a bit more and make it even darker (the darkness abates considerably from the opening after the first few hours of wear). If it had those tweaks (which are just personal preferences, mind you) this would easily be one of my favorite scents of all time. I'm going to try layering it with Memoir Woman as that has a much more noticeable (almost grape-like) jasmine accord (it calls to mind a niche take of Dior's Poison, from my cursory sniffing). The Memoir duo seem to have been designed, not only conceptually but olfactorily, too, to be layered, and I think the unification of these two 'disparate souls who see themselves reflected in each other' could be a very beautiful reunion, indeed.
One more interesting thing: my girlfriend loved this on me. She didn't know what it was and I had told her nothing about the ad copy but she said that it smelled dark, mysterious, and even "scandalous" on me, and said something to the effect of "It smells like.. well, if you could capture the smell of doing something you shouldn't be doing. Like the essence of one of those bad-boy men who women want despite themselves, and yet it simultaneously has this refined elegance and doesn't seem forced or contrived in any way."
An interesting take given what is mentioned in the ad-copy. That just confirmed that the scent really DID smell that way and it wasn't simply (a fear I always have) that the ad copy and expectations were altering my actual perception of the scent.

Thanks for your great review. Reading this makes me want to have Memoir more
Count me in as very interested. I normally shy away from absinthe dominated accords, as I feel they have been done to death.
Very descriptive and captivating writing, SoS. You didn't mention who the nose is, any idea?
According to mimifroufrou.com it's Karine Vinchon.
Sorry for excluding the notes list and the nose. The nose is Karine Vinchon Spehner who recently did Opus III for Amouage, too, along with L'Artisan's new vetiver and their L'eau de Jatamansi.
Here's the note info:
Top Notes: Absinth, Wormwood, Basil, Mint
Heart Notes: Rose, Frankincense, Lavender Absolute
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Guaiac wood, Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Oakmoss, Leather, Tobacco
I've now edited the original post to include this info. Thanks for the heads up Kevin!
I'll be wearing it again later tonight and probably a time or two in this coming week. I hope to be able to find more of the notes (I didn't really detect rose at all, but jasmine instead, for instance) and better understand the woody/vetiver/moss accord in the drydown and just how it evolves. There were a few nuances I forgot to mention originally too - like a hint of a peanut butter note amidst the wood, which appeared only briefly at about the 6 hour mark in the drydown and seemed to surface only after a significant increase in body temperature as I was running to and fro. That sounds weird but it was actually really quite pleasant as it didn't last long and was only a background note of the wood accord.

Your insomnia is our blessing. Thanks for this write-up. I wasn't particularly interested in this before, but now I'll definitely check it out.
dig your analysis, method, and writing style. not sure this is for me, but-- you make me curious enough to try it.
too bad the realm of contemporary music oftentimes doesn't get the kind of treatment which you give to fragrance.
Great to hear your take on Memoir, Sculpture.
Your description of what to me was a 'green haze' in the opening is dead on with my impression, and I'm happy to announce that today I picked up that elusive 'Tribute note' again, which I'm sure is a common facet Amouage have used in both - I don't know if it's a vetiver or tobacco note but it's there . . . just not every time on cue.
I don't think of this one as woody at all - maybe that's just the way I read woods in general - but I'm wondering if you were at all struck by the frankincense side of things. On virtually every wearing I have seen this as evolving into a slightly 'ashy' incense, albeit with a bunch of herbal damp tobacco leaf close by or suspended above smouldering frankincense embers, so to speak. It definitely has a brooding quality.
Is this something you pick up on at all? It seems to be largely about a muted, dark incense to me in the mid to latter stages, altho that herbal / absinthe / tobacco mix sticks around.
Would you SoS and Mr. R. compare Memoir and Tribute, please?
I'm intrigued by the very fleeting resemblance to Tribute that surfaces occasionally in the first hour or so of Memoir Man. I have only noticed it on three or four wearings (out of 20+), which makes it all the more challenging for me to pin down - I am not imagining this
Tribute Attar ~ notes of rose, jasmine, saffron, frankincense, cedar, tobacco, leather, patchouli and vetiver.
Memoir Man ~ a leather woody fougere with notes of absinthe, wormwood, basil, mint, rose, frankincense, lavender, sandalwood, vetiver, guaiac wood, amber, vanilla, musk, oakmoss, leather and tobacco.
On paper the common notes are frankincense, vetiver, leather (?) and tobacco so I'm assuming this is where the elusive common note or accord lies and apart from that the two go their own different ways. It's just one facet that pops up in amongst the absinthe 'green-ness' and smoky frankincense from time to time.
I wore Guerlain Derby today and found quite a strong similarity to this particular accord that is very apparent in Tribute, and that I'm glimpsing in Memoir.
Guerlain Derby:
Top Notes - Bergamot, Lemon, Artemisia, Peppermint .
Middle Notes - Pimento, Rose, Pepper, Mace, Jasmin .
Base Notes - Leather, Vetiver, Sandal, Patchouli, Moss
Anyone picked up any slight resemblance between Tribute & Derby? I'm guessing the bright top and the leather / vetiver again.
My own more general first impressions of MM and some other info are in the original thread from last month here if you missed it:
I've gotta say that despite several mentions I find the Memoir / Gucci PH comparison something of a stretch – I perceive them as quite different in personality altho I guess the woody incensey thing makes for some common ground.

+1..... very interested in this one, as i absolutely adore Tribute
Mr. R., thanks for yours. In terms of perceived "naturalness," how does Memoir fare?
Note: I've tried a number of Amouage EdP and liked, as in really liked, none. On the other hand, I adore Homage.

SoS, I didn't try Tribute either... I have to order at least a sample these days...
By the way, I admire the extremely articulate and evocative way you write about fragrances... even when my reactions are quite different.
I must be a more Dullah kind of guy... pardon the pun.
I did a bit of a comparison between Gucci PH and Memoir today. It had been so long since I wore Gucci PH that I had forgotten about the prominent bay leaf up top (which, as a bay lover, I really enjoy!). I think that green element at the top of Gucci, along with the underlying woodiness, is what would lead people - especially after only a cursory sniff on paper - to think the two scents are very similar. Even so, I maintain that the green elements in Memoir are more present, less dry (the bay in Gucci is rather dry), and darker, due to the anise that lurks in the background.
The oakmoss, incense, woods, and a fairly prominent vetiver note make the base of Memoir once again darker, and far more substantial. The Gucci, on the other hand, on my skin at least, becomes much more amber oriented with a rather clear orris note, too. There are some similarities in texture throughout, and there are some threads of commonality between the incense/wood accords, but as Mr. Reasonable says, their respective moods are very different. Memoir is the yang to Gucci PH's yin.
This little comparison was totally worth it (I'd suggest it to anyone who is interested in both scents). Not only did I get to really see the way two scents with some common ground can, in regards to mood, diverge quite considerably, I also finally came to see just how good Gucci PH is - a scent I had long overlooked because during an early test all I could smell was pencil shavings. I don't know what has changed but, while I still pick up something like pencil shavings, I pick up so much more in Gucci PH now.

While Memoir Man does have some commonalities with Gucci PH, I think it's closest analogue may be the oft-feared Salvador Dali PH. (the one in the greenish/black bottle with the lips cap).
They share a number of notes:
Memoir Man
Top Notes: Absinth (well, the anise component of it, anyhow), Wormwood, Basil, Mint
Heart Notes: Rose, Frankincense, Lavender Absolute
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Vetiver, Guaiac wood, Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Oakmoss, Leather, Tobacco
Dali PH
Top notes: lavender, clary sage, basil, anise and bergamot
middle notes: jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and geranium
base notes: leather, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, oakmoss, vanilla and cedar.
Also, geranium and rose share some similarities, and to my nose, the rose + lavender absolute in Memoir Man smells a bit like jasmine, so there is more crossover there.
Memoir Man is definitely more refined, and less ostensibly outlandish than Salvador Dali PH. They both have a dark character, with even a bit of bleakness present, although both have a number of beautiful qualities that more than balance the scent and keep it from becoming a depressing wear. Memoir definitely has less of the tar note that is so prevalent in Dali PH, although a tar-like note is present but subdued. Memoir Man also shares a bit of a dark smokiness with Dali PH.
As mentioned in the first post, there are a lot of hues of dark green present in Memoir Man, along with the traces of black (tar and burnt woods). I definitely think that the color and bottle of Dali PH would be very suitable for Memoir Man, and so I'd say there is even crossover in the packaging and the way it presents the scent..
I really like Dali PH but find it very difficult to wear, and the tar and smokey qualities of the leather note in it can become overwhelming. There is also a synthetic quality to it that can become irksome as the scent dries down, especially as it has such monster longevity. I find Memoir Man to be a more refined, if less daring, and definitely a higher quality take on a similar theme.

Thanks, SoS, for posting these detailed reviews and comparisons.
Memoir sounds quite interesting. I like the comparison with Salvador Dali Pour Homme, which I admire. I'm going to look for Memoir this weekend.
Just tried Memoir Man and actually bought Memoir Woman; interestingly, Memoir Woman is very unisex, and is in my opinion even better than Memoir Man (which is quite good). Where Memoir Man is dark and woody, Memoir Woman adds a top layer of boozy sweetness that elevates it to another level; and to my nose the familiar Amouage incense note is more prominent in Memoir Woman than in Memoir Man. In the drydown, the two are exceptionally alike, so much so that it would be easy to confuse them after a few hours (I had a spray of each on each hand); they both have that exquisite Amouage woodsy/incensy/mossy base. I would highly recommend Memoir Woman for either men or women -- it's highly addictive and is one of the best of the Amouage line, which is saying a lot.
I found pictures of both boxes now. See my signature if you're interested in this scent.

Amouage Memoir Man, and other amouage offerings:
When I smelled Mamoir Man from the bottle, I liked it very much. Top notes are very good and interesting. the drydown is totally dissapointing...ordinary woody drydown, and it smell the way i dont like...
Memoir Woman is nice. Though originality is not great. It's an expensive variation on Gaultier2
anyway, it's Amouage... they both are quality scents....

Dreamer, didn't you get any smoke/ash in the drydown? While the drydown is fairly stark, I do think it's pretty interesting and unique.. at least on my skin. I get quite a bit of a burned incense, and ash smell, along with a hint of tar and something black and smooth (castoreum I believe, as part of the leather accord).

My eyes were wide open when I smelled this wonderful top notes incensy accord.....but it changed very soon on the skin.
I agree it's a complex scent, and you can smell the slow process of development of the scent on blotter, though on the skin top notes fade very quickly and it becomes dull-woody they could make more refined and original woody drydown... it's my initial impressions... I will resmell it again ...

It's weird because I love the scent exactly as it is, and yet sometimes I yearn for the inclusion of something in the drydown. My thoughts are a bit more lavender absolute and some jasmine, along with more castoreum to smooth it out further and make it more inky black.
The thing is, that would make it a different scent, and I don't know that I'd prefer that scent to Memoir Man the way it is. Honestly, I want both! (alternatively, I wish the women's Memoir was butched up a bit, as that would make a great scent too, it would be somewhat like man but more floral and more extroverted and sexy, instead of introverted and brooding. I do think they did a good job of making these two scents complementary in so many ways though - they work well together even though each scent has almost the exact opposite characteristics as the other, outside of the fact that they are both dark).

I have to agree with this. I finally had a chance to try this and I can say I was so disappointed. The opening is amazing. It is exactly as explained by SoS. Mint, absinthe and wonderfully green. But the dry-down is so basic and generic that it didn't warrant me purchasing it. Darn I was really expecting a lot from this too! With epic for men, it was love all the way through. From the initial spray to the dry-down, to me that was an instant classic. Epic and Silver are still my top Amouage scents! Either way this is a nice basic scent coming from a wonderful exotic company.
PS. My sample was sample from Luckyscent and was not sprayed so I wonder if spraying it makes a difference. i will have to see.
What a great review.
Girls seem to go crazy over Amouage, Lyric Man has the same effect.
Given your tastes I suspect being able to spend some time with it and also a better method of application might be worth a shot, cairomerta. I bought this pretty early on and even after a few weeks of wearing it every other day it's still intriguing, I'm picking up new facets. I really wasn't so sure at first - verging on 'meh' despite liking the opening etc. Of course if you don't like it you don't like it but I can't imagine getting the full story from a dab sample even if you empty the whole thing on yourself?
I agree with you on this. Dabbing a scent does not do it any justice. I definitely have to go and try it on with the spray applicator to really get the diffused effect of this one. Either way, I think amouage is a magnificent house and I really do hope that this works with my skin with a spray application.
Khalid, Spraying isn't going to change anything. Memoir Man is mediore at best. It's just an extention of The Library Collection in my opinion. Major disappointment for me. Amouage just does such a superb job when it comes to attars, but their EDP's just suck for the most part. Hey Mr.Chong, maybe you should see an ear,nose and throat doctor.
AHHAHAHAHAHAHH Thats funny...ear,nose and throat doctor!!! When I heard about the notes in memoir i was expecting something dark and heavy and smokey! I dont get that at all. The drydown is so disappointing. So generic with no oomph! Maybe like beck said, something like one of their attars.
It took me a few wears before I was sold on the drydown. As noted in my initial post I was skeptical of it. I actually find it very smoky and ashen. I really can't fathom how it can be said that it's not very smoky and incense-y. I'm just curious what the drydown smells like to you Cairo.
As with any of the more complex scents, they deserve a few wears before judgment is cast, if only because it often takes the nose a few wears to fully understand what is going on and see a fragrance for what it is instead of merely trying to think of it in terms of other fragrances - something I know I find myself doing (often subconsciously) on the first wearing in an attempt to better understand the fragrance.
I know it took me a few wears to love Dhofar! I hope you'll find the love with this scent. It's complexities and unique facets are a bit more 'hidden' than in some fragrances, and I really do understand how a lot of people think it is 'very similar to x or y' and yet after numerous wearings (7 or 8 now in a matter of two weeks, yikes! ) I find it more unique than ever before and truly one of the finest smoky, dark incense offerings I've ever sampled. Yes, I do see some parallels to other fragrances (mostly Dali PH and Serge Noire, with a bit of Gucci PH too), but it's far more natural and nuanced than Dali PH, and also more incensey whereas Dali is more leathery, and its more varied than Serge Noire with its transition from a green top to a grey and ashen base, whereas Serge Noire is more dark throughout and also more spice oriented (with its dark cinnamon and cumin notes). Perhaps best of all, I find the drydown to be very "thick" and full of body, unlike so many scents where the woody drydown becomes airy and ethereal. In this way, I find it similar to Epic Man - not so much in smell, but in the way it maintains its density even into the late dry down.

Very well said.
Also, I'm thinking that the reason why Memoir didn't live upto thebeck and cairomerta's expectation is because they were expecting Memoir to have a Middle Eastern vibe (the traditional attars that Amouage is famous for). I think we should realize that the Amouage Attars is for a different genre (mainly for the Middle East population), and Memoir is marketed more towards the western population.
I wore the Memoir last night, and everytime I got a whiff of it, it reminded me something different everytime. Epic is pretty much linear, however, Memoir has distinct top, middle, and base accords. I also noticed that the drydown has a bitterness to it, and was finally able to pinpoint that it was Sandalwood. I have some pure 'White' Sandalwood Essential Oil (the second distillation of Sandalwood), and a phase in the drydown smelled almost like that.

I was actually hoping it would be a cross between Derby and Yatagan. For the record I never expect an Attar to be like an EDP. I don't think Tribute or Homage are Middle Eastern scents. What I do expect from Amouage is to hire better noses and use better ingredients. The quality is no where near Kilian or Xerjoff, yet Amouage likes to think of themselves as the best money can buy. I'm losing respect for this house with each new release. With Kilian and Xerjoff, I always appreciate the quality of ingredients even if I don't care for the frag. There is nothing to appreciate with Memoir Man.
Amouage is nowhere near the quality of Xerjoff or Kilian? Hmm, I think a lot of people here would disagree with that statement, dare I say the majority (as they did on the Xerjoff thread). I'm not knocking Xerjoff or By Kilian (well, ok, the two By Kilians I've tried - Cruel Intentions and Straight to Heaven - were the exact opposite of natural/high quality, loaded with white musks, fake oud, and a harsh patchouli isolate and synthetic rosewood note, but they were both by the same nose so I can't hold them as representative of the whole house). I like a lot of Xerjoffs. They're a completely different style than Amouage - and just like Amouage, some of their scents use more natural ingredients, some are more synthetic, some more daring, some less so, etc.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. It seems ridiculous to suggest that there's nothing to appreciate in a frag like Memoir Man though. Go put it up against 10 Corso Como Uomo, Gucci PH, the CdG Incense series, etc, and its quality quickly becomes apparent.

I definitely agree with your sentiment about trying it a few times. I tried it again yesterday again with the blotter but it still didnt do it any justice I dont think. I still haven't had a chance to go to perfums raffy to try the spray of it. Dont get me wrong, I absolutely think Amouage ranks up with Xerjoff as the best perfume houses. I love amouage! Really one of the few quality houses in the market and thats why my expectations are so high for them. The drydown for me is not as ashy and smoky as I expected it to be and again I think it may be from blotting it on. The opening though is another story. It is simply wonderful. Very rich and complex. I may change my tune once I give it a real full wearing as opposed to dabbing it on the back of my hand which I think me the other problem. I haven't really tried it yet on any pulse point where it heats up and diffuses. I will get back on this as I am hoping it works.
I just got this, and somehow, to my nose, it seems less potent than I thought. Went with 4 sprays, and my colleagues at work weren't complaining at all. In fact I asked if I overapplied and they had to lean in to catch a whiff. Anyhow, I think my nose is a little bit off the mark today. I kept getting the pencil shaving accord, though I'm quite sure there is more to Memoir than that. At the base (about 7 hours later), I get a distinctive guiacwood note that I smell in XXV. The base in Memoir is heavier and deeper than XXV (in fact it reminded me of a less ashy serge noire).
First impressions:
I finally tried the men's and women's version today and..............I am not overly impressed with either. In the men's you get mint and absinthe, big time, and lots of other notes making this one a busy bee. It does not feel dark like Epic Man, I would describe it more as juicy. The opening accord doesn't feel particularly new to me, it actually feels kind of generic/common place, considering it's coming from a such storied house. But to be honest, I just tested it on a paper strip.
The women's version had me much more interested from the get go, so I sprayed a nice squirt on my forearm and my jacket sleeve. Wow, it's a BIG TIME JASMINE, as SoS mentioned, it's that purple, grape variety of jasmine, very similar to the one used in Poison. It is very loud and I almost had to wash it off, but when the jasmine finally took a back seat the scent started to get interesting. The frankincense takes over, framed by the castoreum, rose and pink pepper - I don't really see this one as a leather, as it seems to be described.
Is there anyone who has tried both Memoir Man and Aigner Black - if so, can you compare and contrast them?

I will have to stick with Epic Man. This one satisfies me thoroughly.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Interesting question, regarding that I own Aigner Black, have a sample of Memoir, and tried them this week a left hand / right hand way two days.
The top notes of Memoire are much more interesting. If it didn't change that much it does, there would be no question which one the winner is. Black is very dark, really black at that phase, almost makes me cough when applying, while Memoir is green, albeit a bit dark green and friendly, captivating. But this phase doesn't last long, not more than half an hour. And then Memoir turns into a rather faint, hollow sweetness. Actually I don't find anything interesting in it. On the other hand, Black would loose its too strong top notes and turns into a real, but not harsh leather, with a very little sweetness on top of it.
So taking everything into consideration, in my view Aigner is the clear winner.

I'm very surprised not to find any comparison to le labo vetiver of which this is a more complicated version. once again a perfume house piggybacks on another's creation! well c'est la vie du nez. but I have never smelled arpege... which I see here may be the original original? hard to imagine this as the famous womens perfume of which it's said, "promise her anything but give her arpege"
The drydown of Memoir Man reminds me of Douce Amère and Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin.
I didn`t go so much interested with Amouage Memoir Man. It doesn`t convince me at all. I do think it has coeherence on the green, aromatic, incense aroma. But this is not the memorable phoenix-inspired aroma that i was expecting. The ideas here look to me like recycled ones built around the incense and wormwood accord. It sort of reminds me off tobacco-wood fragrances, like Jil Sander Scent 79 man and the fragrance created for the germany store first in fragrance. They all relies on the tobacco-dry woods at their bases, and because they use the same notes with the same proportions, it ends smelling close when they get at their drydowns. I get more the tobacco, amber, musk and guaiacwood here with a few quotes for the sandalwood aroma to give a discreet milkness, very hard to get. The opening is really wormwood inspired. Not a sweet one, but a greener, bitter one, with a mint edges and a soft, incense on background. But the lavender here kills the accord, and gives a poor balance to the overall effect. What really disturbs me in this one is that there`s something here that has to me a fragrance close to that car scent tablets of generic green aromas. Few fragrances bother me when i`m testing them at skin and i don`t like them; amouage memoir gave me this sensation. If this is a phoenix, is still on ashes.
Rick, I understand all of your objections - well, most of them. I've not tried as many fragrances in this vein as you and others - maybe if I had I wouldn't find it as original as I do, but I still, personally find it well balanced for what I'm looking for in this kind of scent.
The only thing I can recommend is giving this one another wear or two if you haven't already. My initial impressions were only lukewarm regarding the dry down but it grew on me after the 3rd wearing.
Of course, if you just don't like it, you don't like it. I totally understand that! (I feel that way about Invasion Barbare's dry down.. I just can't seem to get the joy others do out of it. Oh well!)

I don`t fully hate it, but there are some things that leaves me uncomfortable here. I just wished that they have found a way to increase the incense without going on a too gothic direction.
What i like here: the wormwood, mint, incense
What i dislike: the lavender and the sort of generic tobacco aura
What i cannot detect: the leather, oakmoss, vanilla, rosa - they seem lost on my skin.
It`s not a bad fragrance, but the price tag and the initial press release made me expect much more.It`s what kills this one for me. I wouldn`t mind to see someone wearing it, but i cannot see myself reaching for it...
Sadly, there's NO oakmoss listed on the packaging for either this or Memoir Woman. Now, they may be using one of those new synthetics that doesn't need to be listed in the ingredients, but I feel like if oakmoss is listed as a note they should be using at least SOME real oakmoss. It kind of pissed me off when I got my package and saw that.
For me, the lavender is kind of the saving grace to the composition as it mellows out the tobacco and dry incense and woods just enough so that they aren't scratchy and annoying. I do get something else dark and smooth, it almost smells like a hint of castoreum, and that too, saves what could otherwise be an unpleasant base.
I can imagine that not liking the lavender though is pretty much a deal breaker. Anyhow, hope it works for you.
Oh yeah, one thing I noticed is that.. well, we got our first snowfall the other day and the top notes of Memoir Man really work very well to make the scent "blend in" to the cold atmosphere. The mint and greens really work synergistically with the cold air to enhance the wintery vibe of the opening. It seems silly but, to me at least, when a scent works synergistically with the environment it can really enhance my appreciation of it. With Memoir Man, I can spray it on shortly before leaving and the opening notes will mesh with the cold air as I head out in the cold to work or school, and then upon arriving, the scent starts warming up just as I will be. Fantastic!

Occured me now that Amouage Memoir Man has some similarties with another fragrance too.
Memoir Man and Byredo Baudelaire has the same inspiration, and a sort of tobacco woody aroma in common. But Baudelaire seems more generic than Memoir Man i think.
how did i miss this review! the only amouages i have sampled are XXV & Lyric Man... about time.
Kyoto and Aigner Black smells poles apart..i coudl tell that.. if you have got a chance to sample Christian Lacroix Tumulte, then thats what Kyoto smells like overall. Aigner Black on the other hand has a soda like dose of Anise.. it's lovely.
Whenever i see the word Wormwood, the only scent that comes to my mind is Ungaro I. However I isnt exactly greenish...
please visit my Blog: http://xxentx.blogspot.com/

I was curious about the similarities between Ungaro I and Memoir Man because of the Wormwood as well. However, after I tried both of them side-by-side, the Wormwood in Ungaro I is subdued with the other notes it contain - you have to think about Wormwood when smelling Ungaro I to realize it is one of the notes. Memoir Man, on the other hand, has a very true Wormwood essence, especially in the top notes when you initially spray it on. If you have ever smelled Wormwood Essential Oil, you can undoubtly distinguish it in Memoir Man. Ungaro I then takes a completely different aspect, however, Memoir Man goes through a green phase which I absolutely love.
It seems that memoir man has an excellent sillage and longevity. I sprayed my sample on me at 7:00 am, and when i got at home, 8:00pm, my sister told me that my smell stayed during all the day on the kitchen. She told me: "that Hermés you wore today got impregnated on that point of the kichen" (she pointed to where i was standing when i sprayed memoir man). She thought it was Eau des Merveilles, her favorite.
Memoir Man has the same problem as Opus II has to me, which is execution problems. I love the way they open on skin, but what comes next in both is not memorable. They created a dark concept, based on a black swam, which is not achieved. It smells good, but it lacks something. Maybe they should have explored more the smoky, resinous aroma of the incense in contrast with the wormwood and mint, and really used the leather and moss at the base to make the tobacco woody aura less generic. It would have been terrific, but they way it is present it`s just great. I can see that it`s pleasant, but i don`t see myself spending 300 dollars on this one. I hope that it satisfies someone more than it satisfied me...
I actually do get a fair bit of smokiness in the dry down of Memoir, and it is that contrast - the contrast between the "living" opening notes and the "dead" and ashy dry down - that made me admire this scent so much.
Glad you gave it a second chance Rick, even if it didn't lead to love.
I'm kind of baffled at how someone could think this was Eau des Merveilles, though!

I was quite shocked too, because i didn`t saw anything in common between then. I don`t know if she was talking about Eau des Merveilles or Elixir, since she wear and love both. The only thing that could get close to the fizzy woody aura of eau des merveilles is the guaiac wood, but the notes is wrapped in an ambery woody tobbaco aroma at the base, so it doesn`t make it similar of the woody aroma in eau des merveilles (or even at elixir des merveilles)
I received a sample of this a short while ago and must join the thumbs-down camp. The bittergreen top is the most interesting part, but doesn't hold out more than 30 minutes on paper, while never really coming to the forefront at all on my skin. What follows is ashy blandness, which, Memoir indeed, recalls a number of dark dry masculines built around smokey clove-lavender-burnt herb-woods accords. Ho hum, and for the price tag, ho ho ho. From memory I'd say Ronaldo Esper Memories - oops - or Léonard pour homme tread similar territory. I can also get something similar from Dirty English (one of the few more interesting and daring designer scents of recent vintage) for a lot less money. Or something, in my opinion, much better and more saturnine, like Morabito Or Black. And I can get a better-made green-incense-woods composition from Bogner Black Forest (deceased). So, while Memoir is not a fall from grace, it's sobering that what used to be a good designer scent in terms of construction and quality now sells as a $200 upward niche (Aventus, most By Kilians, oh, take yer pick) while most current designer stuff (due exceptions noted) now appears to my nose to be $1 / hectoliter swill. Today you would stick something like Ténéré in a gaudy crystal flacon and sell it as a Marrakesh lux spa for $1000 a bottle.
My Wardrobe
II est de forts parfums pour qui toute matière/Est poreuse. On dirait qu'ils pénètrent le verre.
I have tried this twice now, once on the plane to NY last week, and the other time tonight.
I must echo everyone's comments above, that the top notes are just wonderful. Bottle those up, sell them, and I will pay top dollar for that instantly. They can call it Memoir Summer or Memoir Cologne.
But as Memoir Man dries on my skin, it moves oh-so-quickly into ashy woods/fougere territory. A category that I love, but that ultimately I am very happy with say...Yatagan, at it's incredibly affordable price point.
Oh, and I sprayed my sample on, not dabbed.
On the back of a recent Amouage binge, I managed official samples of the Men's and Women's. And while the men's worked well enough to warrant a full bottle purchase (I am expecting it this week!), I wasn't as impressed with the women's as I was with the men's. I keep smelling strong resemblance with Dia men (Dia less sweet), when I sprayed that side by side with the Memoir Men. Not my fave Amouage, but FBW, at the moment.
The bottle is admittedly too kick-ass for me to overlook. *sigh* Plus an SA was telling me how Amouage prices will go up next year (I suspect to make up for the poor currency), I should get my hands on what I want by Xmas. I sure know how to justify purchases.

Dia Man and Memoir similar? Hmm, I don't see it much at all.
Anyhow, Memoir is a grower. It's not a scent that immediately wows, but I find that it is actually far more complex than it first appears and that its charms reveal themselves after a good number of wearings.

A central catheter is a long, thin tube that is inserted into a large vein. A central catheter is used to deliver medication, nutrition, IV fluids, and chemotherapy.
There are different types of central catheters, including:

Central catheters are inserted when patients need:
A central catheter is commonly inserted by special types of doctors called interventional radiologists or vascular surgeons. Once the line is in, it can be used for weeks to months.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
You will be given a local anesthetic at the insertion area. Depending on where your central catheter is placed, you may receive a sedative through an IV.
This procedure may be done while you are in the hospital as part of your treatment or in an outpatient setting. If you are already in the hospital for another reason, this procedure is unlikely to extend your stay.
Having a catheter inserted increases your risk of a bloodstream infection. The hospital staff will begin the procedure by following steps to reduce this risk.
The procedure may differ depending on the type of catheter and the insertion site. In general, the staff will:
If you have a port inserted, a small pocket for the port will be created under your skin. The incision will be closed over the pocket, usually with dissolving sutures.
You will be checked for bleeding, drainage, and bruising at the insertion site.
30-45 minutes
During the procedure, you will not feel any pain because of the anesthetic. There may be mild discomfort at the insertion site after the procedure.
This procedure is most commonly done in a hospital setting because it is needed for your treatment. The length of stay will depend on the reason you need the central catheter. If you are an outpatient receiving treatment through your central catheter, you may be sent home the same day as the procedure.
After the procedure, the staff may provide the following care to help you recover:
There are also steps that you can take to reduce your risk of infection:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:

"If Catcher in the Rye has lost its raw clout for recent generations of Internet-suckled American youth, here is a coming-of-age novel to replace it." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The first days of summer: Jim Praley is home from college, ready to unlock Tulsa's secrets. He drives the highways. He forces himself to get out of his car and walk into a bar. He's invited to a party. And there he meets Adrienne Booker; Adrienne rules Tulsa, in her way. A high-school dropout with a penthouse apartment, she takes a curious interest in Jim. Through her eyes, he will rediscover his hometown: its wasted sprawl, the beauty of its late nights, and, at the city's center, the unsleeping light of its skyscrapers.
In the tradition of Michael Chabon's The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, A Map of Tulsa is elegiac, graceful, and as much a story about young love as it is a love letter to a classic American city.

The people of Liechtenstein call their main town "Staedtle" or "LIttle Town" and their country "Laendle" or "Little Country". Considering the geographic size of the country, these diminutives are apt, but not at all so if one thinks of the history and importance of Vaduz as a financial center.
For hundreds of years culinary specialties have been enjoyed in the Old Town, at the Loewen Inn, for example, which has been in existence since 1380. The Art Museum (Kunstmuseum) of Liechtenstein houses one of Europe's oldest private collections in a modern, prize-winning museum building. The Regional Museum showcases the history of the principality and a visit to the Stamp Museum is a must for every philatelist. Castle Vaduz is the emblem of Liechtenstein and the residence of the royal family.

Are You Mobile Enough?
The mobile web is poised to be big. Really big. Morgan Stanley estimated it's going to be at least twice the size of the desktop/laptop Internet within five years. Gartner went further, predicting that mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common web-access devices worldwide by 2013.
Innovative brands such as Apple and Zipcar are already achieving enormous success with mobile. In fact, a customer using Zipcar's new iPhone app can have a highly successful relationship with the company without ever visiting its traditional website. The same can be said for Yelp, Netflix, and a growing list of other brands.
So why are so many organizations still waiting and watching from the sidelines, or coasting on their early forays into the medium? Perhaps they're frozen in place by the enormity of the opportunity, or by the challenge of new and unfamiliar business models and technologies. Maybe they're waiting for the market to mature. Maybe they don't know this:
- 90% of the world now lives in a place with access to a mobile network.[*]
- Amazon.com sold more than $1 billion in products via mobile devices in 2010.[*] EBay generated $2 billion in mobile sales, including the sale of a $75,000 Corvette.[*]
- 37% of U.S. smartphone users have made a product purchase on their handsets in the last six months.[*]
- 13% of all U.S. consumers and 23% of the 18-34 age group make purchases via mobile four times a year.[*]
It's time to get moving with mobile.
App or Website: Is That the Question?
When assessing their mobile business prospects, many organizations jump straight into the tactics:
"Should we build a mobile website or an app?"
"Augmented reality would be cool."
"Are QR codes the way to go?"
"What's a QR code?"
The key to a winning mobile presence is to identify your best business opportunities first, then choose the right tactics to support them based on what you can afford and what you can support.
Uncovering Your Mobile Opportunity
Defining your mobile strategy can feel like aiming at a moving target. Devices are constantly evolving, carriers are upgrading their infrastructure and offerings, people are adapting to new features and trends, and the media is forever hyping the next big thing.
But if you keep it simple and you keep it useful, your investment in mobile can pay for itself many times over in greater profitability, happier customers and new, previously unimaginable opportunities.
- Start with your business goals. When considering your mobile business strategy, always start with the business goals of your organization. How can a mobile presence help you achieve those goals? Will it improve your current reach? Will it open up new opportunities?
- Understand your audiences in the mobile context. Once you're satisfied that you have a business opportunity with mobile, the next step is understand how your target audiences interact with their mobile devices and the context around them. Where do your audiences engage with mobile? What are they doing with it? At what time and place might they think of or need what you offer?
- Identify your target devices. With over 5,000 different devices on the market, you can't design for all of them, so it's important to identify which devices your audiences use the most and optimize your offering around them. Based on your findings, you might decide to start out slowly with a basic mobile website and text alerts, or you might go for broke with a rich experience across all of the major mobile platforms.
- Match your content to audience needs. The next step is to determine which of your content should be mobile. Simply having the content and the ability to make it mobile it is not enough on its own. Choose only the content that is most useful to your mobile audiences and takes into account how they behave differently from desktop users. Keep it simple. Limit choices. This results in a focused experience that cuts down the risk of your audiences becoming lost and frustrated.
- Study and leverage best practices. Chances are, your competitors and industry peers are already active in the mobile space. Analyzing their mobile experiences will help you to understand what the best practices are in your industry, what your customers have grown accustomed to, and how you can be unique.
Source: Modus Associates LLC
Are You Ready to Get Moving?
With almost 5 billion mobile handsets in use worldwide and capabilities improving daily, mobile may well be the greatest business opportunity of all time. You've got new skills to invest in, new technologies and platforms to understand, and new ways of thinking about your business and your customers. If you're still waiting, falling behind, or in denial, it's time to get moving with mobile.
Add new comment
Large mobile networks market, mobile phone will replace the PC as the most common network access equipment. In fact, customers using Zipcar's new iPhone application can have a very successful relationship, then, why so many organizations are still waiting, watching from the sidelines, or in their early to mid-raid slide? Maybe they freeze great opportunity, or new and unfamiliar business models and technology challenges.
Even Google has started the Tablets targeting advertising recently and this has proved that mobile or tablet web will soon take over PCs.
Anyhow, I still feel like working with physical keyboard is much more comfortable and faster instead of touch screens.
Grant, I've found many books that address mobile from a technology standpoint, but few that address mobile strategy. One that I did find is Strategic Mobile Design: Creating Engaging Experiences by Joseph Cartman and Richard Ting. There may be others, but that's the best I've seen so far.
Strategy appears to be a major deterrent when entering into the mobile space. Most companies don't even know where to start because mobile is still fairly new. Could anyone recommend books that discuss mobile strategy?
Fritz, your last thought is right on. Doing it right is rare.
We run into a disconnect between Brand managers and Mobile managers. Mobile managers are pushing forward but without a solid brand strategy in place, failing to understand that every experience is a brand experience. Most Brand Managers are yet to understand the medium and the urgency. More than ever before, these two need to come together.
I agree that businesses need to stop considering and get started developing their mobile products. The aspect that is concerning is how to determine what your customers need, what services or products to focus on and how best to present it.
The mobile usability and marketing research field is still getting started and finding people who can offer good advice to companies about these key questions is important to keep from making some of the same mistakes many companies made in the early 90s.
There was a rash of: "We need a web presence" without truly thinking about how best to leverage what the web had to offer.
Get started on your mobile strategy only when you have determined you actually have a product or service that lends itself to the mobile platform and then do it right.

Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors
Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors are 1-piece, drilled and slotted, direct replacement discs for your factory brake system and stock calipers. They offer improved cooling as well as other advantages the competition doesn't offer. Innovations include e-coating, double-disc grinding, full machining, mill balancing and center-split castings, as well as the availability of directional vanes, cryogenic treatment and the use of Power Alloy. Today, Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted covers more than 2500 applications, all machined in Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted California manufacturing center. Every Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotor is a direct replacement for a factory brake rotor, allowing the retention of factory calipers in the system.
Directional Vane Design
Most Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors match the original factory cooling vane design. In the most popular sports car and light truck applications, Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted has improved the design by using directional (left- and right-handed) vanes to improve cooling. This represents a distinct upgrade from the original equipment rotors, which usually feature a straight vane or pillar vane design. The directional vane is a more efficient air pump. The resulting increase in airflow translates into greater resistance to brake fade and faster recovery from temperature spikes generated by aggressive braking maneuvers.
Cryo Treatment
Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors are also available with an optional cryogenic treatment called Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted Cryo. Although cryogenic treatment is invisible to the naked eye, many of Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted's fleet customers are sold on its ability to extend the wear life of the brake disc. Deep cryogenic treatment is a one-time process that permanently improves the performance and service life of metal components, from brake rotors and engine parts to machine tools and gear sets. Using a proprietary, computer-controlled process, the metal is cooled to -300°F before gradually being heated to +300°F, and then slowly returned to room temperature as the final step.
E-Coated Finish
Every Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotor is finished with a black e-coating on both sides of the hat, inside the cooling vanes and on the outside edge. E-coating is a superior electro-statically applied finish designed to withstand 400 hours of salt water exposure without rusting. This is especially important on both mounting faces of the hat where it touches the hub flange and back face of the wheel. Any accumulation of rust in these areas can lead to installed lateral runout issues.
Double Disc Ground
Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors feature a double disc ground, taper free finish. Double disc grinding ensures parallelism, eliminates run out and provides near perfect disc thickness variation (DTV). Double disc grinding leaves a non-directional finish on the friction surface area for more effective pad and rotor break-in. This special finish also provides quieter and smoother stops.
Machined Finishes
Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted rotors feature 100 percent fully machined finishes including rotor hats. This extra process provides better rotor balance and creates a cleaner, more finished looking component.
Mill Balancing
Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted brake rotors are mill balanced to a tolerance of less than 2 oz-inch. This additional machining operation reduces feedback associated with rotor vibration and provides a smooth, confident application of braking force.
Split Castings
Center-split core castings provide proper heat transfer and thermal efficiency, resulting in superior braking power and safety.
Power Alloy
Power Alloy metallurgy is another unique feature in many of Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted's rotors. Quality and performance live inside the rotor too. Choosing the correct foundry partner and working to improve the metallurgy are all part of Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted's continuous improvement process that helps to reach established targets for hardness and tensile strength. Many of Stoptech Cross-Drilled & Slotted's top-selling part numbers are cast using this Power Alloy iron specification, an enhancement in the carbon and molybdenum content of the iron. Carbon and molybdenum promote crack resistance and improve noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

Energy and Global Climate Change in New England
Wind Energy
Winds are caused by the interaction of the uneven heating of the atmosphere with the uneven surface of the earth, and the earth's rotation. Winds can generate both electricity and mechanical power. In the case of electricity, the wind pushes the blades of a wind turbine, and the kinetic energy generated from that activity is converted to mechanical power. That mechanical power is then used to drive a generator that produces electricity that can be used in homes and businesses, or sold back to an electricity provider for use on the grid.
Since 2001, energy costs in New England have increased substantially, due almost entirely to the higher cost of fuel (e.g., natural gas). Since the wind is free, wind power is not subject to swings in the price of fuel. In many instances, it has become cost competitive with fossil fuel sources. Thus, there are numerous proposals for wind power facilities all over New England.
Benefits: As concerns about climate change and air quality continue to mount in New England, wind energy can provide residents and businesses with the electricity they need without the harmful emissions associated with conventional electricity generation sources. Wind is also the fastest growing energy source in the world, which helps create jobs and spur economic growth.
Concerns: Wind power is not without controversy. The modern towers are tall, and can range anywhere from 200 to 400 feet to the tip of the rotor. Wind power is also intermittent and blows best in places that make the turbines more prominent such as on top of ridgelines and in the ocean. As a result, many wind facilities face significant local opposition based on aesthetics.
In addition, wind turbines can impact wildlife such as birds and bats. Some wind facilities such as the one in Searsburg, Vermont, have instituted pre and post construction monitoring programs to assess the impact on local wildlife, including birds and bears. However, due to the site specific nature of this information, it is not easily extrapolated to other sites. Thus, proposed new wind facilities are also subject to similar analysis.
Wind generation can be done at different scales, including wind farms, community scale installations, customer-sited projects, and household installations. For more information on this and for a map of the wind projects in New England that are operating, permitted or under construction, visit DOE's New England Wind Forum.
