By the editors · 2 min readMemoire d'Homme opens unusually — licorice, grapefruit, and pomelo together create a dry, slightly bitter citrus that sets it apart from the standard 2000s aquatic-fougère playbook. Ginger and nutmeg in the heart sustain the dryness rather than warming it.
The base is where the perfume's marketing language about an "opoline accord" pays off: myrrh, opoponax, atlas cedar, vetiver, ambergris, amber, and musk build a resinous, woody, faintly balsamic depth that feels older than its release date.
It's a bargain-bin masculine that punches above its price, recognizable to anyone who knew it in the early 2000s and still rewards a current wearer who likes citrus that doesn't go sweet. Cool-weather casual.
