Pros & Cons
- ✅ The composition is more specific, more committed to a particular feeling.
- ✅ It's asking something of the person wearing it — a willingness to sit with discomfort, with incompleteness, with the feeling that you're catching something at the edge of your memory.
- ✅ It rewards patience and reveals itself slowly.
- ✅ The orris is prominent and pushes the rose into interesting territory.
- ✅ The base is restrained and dry, with sandalwood and vetiver that keep it grounded.
- ❌ Future Memories is too quiet. I wanted it to project more.
- ❌ On cold days the sillage contracts to almost skin-level by hour four.
- ❌ It is too quiet; projection is weak and sillage contracts to skin-level by hour four.
- ❌ Not a fragrance that gets complimented by everyone; it is intimate and may not be noticed.
- ❌ The violet leaf opening can be polarizing, reading metallic or cucumber-like to some.
