Dark mosaic
This is like a photo mosaic. You look at it closely - you see wormwood, frankincense, cloves, orange, wood, cardamom, florals. You step away - you see all these combine to form a mosaic of a smoky plum. Dark, viscous, velvety smoky plum that reminds you of vampires and gothic cathedrals.
It's interesting, but actually Dior's Poison opened this perfume to me. Before testing Poison, I thought this smelled simply of plum, and I always was bewildered to look at the pyramid. Why are there so many notes listed, when all I hear is smoke and plum, thought I to myself.
Then I tested Poison, which does smell like a plum, and it has a literal and simple plum note. At first, I thought they are very similar. But when I compared them side by side, the smoky plum disappeared from Memoir, and instead all the beautiful spices, florals and herbs emerged. It was like magic!
