MasculineBy Karine Vinchon SpehnerRated 4.3/5 · 4,093 reviews

wormwood · mint · basil

Memoir Man opens on green absinthe, mint and basil, a fresh aromatic breath. The heart of incense and lavender rests on a quiet rose. Beneath, tobacco, leather and sandalwood, softened by amber and musk, leave a warm presence. Wear it on autumn evenings, when the air turns cool.
