Nope.

Vanillin, citrus, perhaps lavender, citrus, amber, citrus, Iso E, citrus, a tad of something synthetically resinous, citrus, and a sort of heavily synthetic, and kind of clumsy floral accord. Topped with lemon. Citric-powdery-ambery, shortly. Distant echoes of some late 1980s-early 1990s masculine fragrances, the bad ones; the cheap, obscure, “forgotten for a reason” ones. On top of that, Momento has a pungent alcohol feel which is really annoying on skin (on mine, at least), and since it’s clumsily enhanced, amplified and reinforced by the mosquito-repellent citrus note and a Tauer-esque ambroxan base, it won’t go away for hours – a proper scrubber. No evolution, a vanillic-dusty citric blend stoutly staying there. After some hours I get some slight similarities with Tom Ford Noir EDT, with citrus. More than a proper fragrance this smells like a sort of pop collage of the worst of thirty years of masculine perfumery. Not completely unpleasant, but really a little pleasant; and if it’s creative, I am unable to get the creativity here. Especially for this price.

Awesome!!!

Its a nostalgic, complex fragrance that evokes a journey through time. The blend of smoky incense , warm woods, and a hint of citrus feels like wandering through an old library, sipping tea by the fire. Its both comforting and mysterious, perfect for reflective moments. A touch of citrus brightens the blend, offering a fresh contrast to the richness of the other notes.

Lemony resins

I love Momento's opening crescendo of lemon sherbet diffused out into a sparkling cloud of aldehydes, because it establishes a color scheme that is both primrose yellow and foggy, washed out grey. Before long, it settles into a familiar Jicky or Shalimar-like shape, although its heavy-breathing labdanum base is far clumsier than any Guerlain I've smelled (in its blocky simplicity, Momento is actually far more the sister of something like Parfum Russe than Shalimar). There are little touches of spearmint, which confuse me, but my guess is that some varieties of lavender are just a bit flinty-minty, and that's the aspect that comes out the most here. Not bad, but a very rough sketch of an idea that was more skillfully fleshed out in UNUM's Opus 1144, which came a couple of years later.

when we sparkled like citrus champagne
powdery in the aldehyde exuberance
sang absinthe words
with lavender tongues, sweet as sugarcane
balmy your skin...

Absinthe dreams.
The creaking of an inner door. Lavender dust shimmers on letters, dried flowers, wood.
Longing in small backward movements.

Citrus notes blend with wonderful lavender. Resinous notes in the base give the fragrance a pleasant depth. Very nice!

Nights in the museum. Old wood, sour, warm, dark. Dried flowers. Yellowed sweetness. Stories from centuries preserved in reverence.

Riddle. What is it: It sparkles mineral, hisses citrus, scratches herbal, caresses powdery, blooms between wood and dreams of the past.

Citrus notes with lavender are the star here. Fresh, crisp, aldehydic with retro charm. In the dry down, balsamic with cozy patch + warm wood.

Here, lavender is supported by a citrusy, tangy bergamot, highlighted by sour verbena, and framed with flowers and wood: exciting!
