Warm, resinous amber and a light nutmeg swirled together, creating a memory of dried autumn leaves and the pages of an old book. Wearing your oldest most comfortable jacket. The smell of one last walk around the old apartment, all the closets and cupboards emptied as you prepare to move on with your life. Memories both bitter and sweet flow back and forth.

This stuff is soooooooo good Ive had it since 2014 and it would be on my top 10. It has a very distinctive smell to it very good and unique. I can’t even really describe it it just smells fantastic and lasts 8+ hours easily with better then average projection. If you can find it buy it it’s probably hard now heard it was discontinued so it’s probably expensive good luck this one for me is a solid 9/10.

I buy this perfume this morning. The bottle is nice, I have to guess that the atomizer has to turn 45° before it sprays, which I almost broke trying to pulling up,, it has been 4 hour since I use it, and I know many people will disagree with me, because y see many people like this perfume, but sincerely I don’t get it, first of all, It opens whit a slight sand and woody smell, which is not that bad, after 10 minutes it start to come like a twist to Fahrenheit, Which I don’t like. And after 4 hours it still smells 50% like Fahrenheit with a slight woody smell… When people says it smell classy, sophisticated and like godness I imagine something like a mix between Lalique and Boucheron for men.

اسم على مسمى
لا ينسى ابدا
له حنين غريب بعد فترة طويلة اشتقت له وبحثت عنه حتى وجدته واحتضنته اكثر واكثر وندمت اني لم استخدمه سوى مرة واحدة فقط في واحد ة من اجمل اللحظات كلما استحضرتها وجدتها ناقصة هناك شي مفقود استحضرت المكان والزمان واللحظات ولكن لم استحضر تلك الرائحة والتي عدت لها مرة اخرى وذهلت من شدة جمالها وروعتها
عطر ساحر بكل المقاييس غريب وعجيب يضاهي اشهر العطور ويقارعها ايضا عطر محبب للنفس ولا ينفر منه احد ولعل رائحة عرق السوس اعطته ذلك الطابع المميز
عطر ماستر بيس بالنسبة لي شخصيا وقد حصلت منه على نسخة وذلك من حسن الحظ ومازلت ابحث عن اخرى
نصيحة لكل محبين ان العطور ان وجده امامه لا يتردد قط في شرائه

weird and nice scent was blind bought forgotten on a shelf in one of those shops which roared in the 70’s… smells of melancholia!

This is funny, over at basenotes.net they are just beating down on this scent while here it gets great reviews.
It’s also funny how people can get so many different notes out of one scent especially when some of those mentioned notes are not listed anywhere. Upon first application I get a great boozy and smokey whiff.
After a while I’m also reminded, distantly, of a root beer-like smell. This is not a dark cologne or deep, it seems airy but somehow keeps a serious or formal vibe to it.
I can’t really make out licorice, at least outright, I guess it mixes in enough to keep you wondering. Some mention woods, that’s something else I cannot say stands up out in the foreground.
Unfortunately this great scent does not stay strong and the projection falls off after a couple of hours, I’m glad I have it though.
If you have the kind of skin or chemistry with fragrances that soaks them up you might find yourself bathing in it to make an impression or project.

Not the rule, but when you see a house with a lot of perfumes and only the very few are masculine (at least marketed at) then you get the impression that some real effort focus and time went down to create theses special ones. The one I owned for quite some time and really liked was Memoire d’Homme.
Upon spraying you get the feeling that this is your typical men’s cologne but it is not! You get a citrusy initial bang taking up almost the entire frame, but some nutmeg, ginger and definitely licorice are photobombing in the background.
The licorice… I got really acquainted with this note thanks to my partner’s black soft licorice caramels she was stuffing my mouth with in the winter. In this composition the licorice is done right with a balanced feel to it thanks to grapefruit in the beginning and then the nutmeg. The ginger has a sparkling role keeping the structure somehow fresh.
And then there is the amazing woody semi sweet drydown that keeps going for hours on skin, not to mention its persistence on clothes. For me this is where this scent really shines. Like staring down at a pine(?) forest from a higher point with the traces of a licorice caramel you were torturing in your mouth to melt for 10 minutes. Great stuff people.
I am keeping the “oh my god!! why did you discontinue such a wonderful underatted superfantastic scent?!?!?” for some other time or scent…
Screw it…
oh my god!! why did you discontinue such a wonderful underatted superfantastic scent?!?!?
wail – :
Outstanding, fresh and spicy. A big blast of grapefruit, licorice and ginger and a hint of vetiver. Outstanding dry down of soft amber and wood. Great projection and longevity. An amazing scent.
vik123 – :
Beautiful, refined, manly. Great blend of freshness & spice. Brown as a colour doest seem right for this juice. The initial start somehow reminded me of Versace Blue Jeans (which is not bad) but it grows very quickly from that. A certain mysterious vibe surrounds you while wearing it. The freshness stays on but pairing with the spice it makes this developing a stand alone personality. Fresh while sour, bitter and nicely spicy. As I love all of these aspects I appreciate MDH to the utmost! Another perfection by my favourite nose, Christine Nagel!

I had this and used it for years daily before it ran out of production.
What a waste
Dimonxxff – :
Cannot find it anythere:((
To me it is one of the best. C’monn Nina, just re-launch it!
Спиноза – :
not in product anymore!!!!!! dommage! ricci should relaunch this classy cologne once again!
vitalik2966 – :
People mention smokey frags a lot, they should really check out ones like this. Woody, smokey, leather with quite a sharp blast of grapefruit,
I used to love this stuff but found towards the end of the day it was driving my nose a little insane.
Its cheap and synthetic but a great great masculine smell and so much better than a lot of the tat on the market at the moment.
Andersen111 – :
Renoir : myrrh is not mentioned in the notes but actually this fragrance contains “opoline”:an original accord that the creators traced down to antiquity. This balsam is a blind of opoponax, myrrh,amber and musk.
uapartyRotTypesuesee – :
Hmmm, I remember that this perfume contains Myrrh.. Can someone confirm that? I loved it, only problem it was not very long lasting..
Still what happened to Ricci club, their best men’s perfume?
saharok100 – :
Memoire D’Homme : a wonderful fragrance, unique and refined……ideal for special occasions. I enjoy the combination of liquorice and nutmeg….the drydown is wonderful.

Gipsy parfumista, talking about good deals? I just got this rare perfume for 18 Euros! And in addition, I got Hugo Boss Dark blue for a 15 euros from a same guy – both pucker and original. When you’re lucky, you’re lucky…
Anyway, this is a great summer scent. It starts with juicy citrusy opening, but you can also immediately smell a sharp spicy note of nutmeg. With ginger added, it is a true “sour” explosion. But only in the beginning.Several minutes after applying it reminds me of Trussardi python very much (as well as when I dont apply it but just smell it from the bottle), but these two scents go their separate ways some 20 minutes later, and every similarity then is gone. It quickly settles into warm and gentle scent, with licorice and amber kicking in. Nutmeg will stay for on and on and will note fade away as grapefruit will. Longevity and projection are good, better than most summer scents I’ve tested. The heart of the fragrance is pretty linear, and it is quite sweet; to me almost unisex. The bottle is simply magnificient – classic and elegant, violet shaded from the back and amber shaded from the front (these colours are not matching the scent though, since one would expect these colours in “heavier” wintery scents). I like the on off feature, without conventional cap.
But the fact it is very hard to find due to it being discountinued is not simply enough to say it is a masterpiece. It is very pleasant to wear for sure, but not very unique, since the drydown is quite common and not very original. Everyone who smelled it said the same things: at first delighted with its freshness and spicy character, then later everbody said: “Hey it reminds me of something I smelled earlier, I just can not remember what”. To me, it lacks masculinity in it’s heart. Still will wear this in summer with great pleasure. This will do fine both on summer days and nights, believe me.
And yeah, just for bragging to say it again – I got it for 18 Euros (100ml bottle) :D.
witec – :
When I heard this had roots in antiquity (and posted below) I knew it was something I HAD to have. My search for this discontinued wonder ended when I found it on a discount site, last year, for under fifty US dollars NIB. What a find!! Memory of a Man is something that I find myself reaching for more and more. Nina Ricci has always (for the most part) made really great fragrances. This is no exception. It was created and released after the formation of the IFRA, but before they began seriously started meddling with formulae. It is no Phileas, true; but what it IS is a more modern male scent that retains an old world charm and a sexy sophistication that does NOT smell like oakmoss and musk only.
The opening accord of pomelo (a rather large and juicy red fleshed grapefruit) and licorice leaves is bright and clean with an almost mouthwatering spicy sweetness. These are balanced in such a way as to let the citrus sparkle, but also let the licorice add its yummy dark vibe to the fragrance. The heart is spicy, for sure, as dry smooth nutmeg, with its warmth and bitter sweetness, merges with a warm yet juicy ginger. A true wonder of fresh spiciness and soft masculinity; despite the few notes it contains MdH radiates much more. From the way it develops on my skin, I would have expected some sort of greens or herbs in the heart; though I imagine that is just the balsamic resins and blue cedar peeking through, hinting at the ancient and divinely constructed dry down. Opoponax is a dry and heavenly smelling incense resin, burned before Christ walked the Earth to please the nose of the Gods, and it’s here in all its splendor. Blended seamlessly with golden amber, sharp myrrh and a slightly animalic musk, this accord floats through the air like a magical spell. Though it is enchantingly seductive and utterly intoxicating on its own, the perfumers here blended it with a grassy, lightly smoky vetiver and the wonderfully soft scent of blue cedar. With no flowers, no sweet melon accords and no frills, this is utterly masculine; yet forgoes the usual “brutish” notes of leather/birch, patchouli and sandalwood but still remains very oriental and very suave. This fragrance is based on something ancient and powerful; however, it does not smell dated and shows that even in this modern age we can still wear something timeless and wonderful…without smelling stuffy or “old”. Rooted in the Old Testament times but wearable by a man in the 21st century, this has that old soul feel in a new and modern framework. Memoire d’Homme is hauntingly enticing and sexy and worth seeking out…at any price.
Sillage: very good
Longevity: great
Overall: 4.75/5
I continue to ponder why companies discontinue such beautiful perfumes. For whatever reason, this must not have sold all that well. I count myself among the lucky ones who own a bottle and cherish it like a precious relic from a bygone era. The was (if I am not mistaken) the last male scent Nina Ricci released to date, and for that I am very sad…but also relieved that THIS is the gorgeous swan song of her male line, and it did not devolve into “Aqua” this and “Sport” that. MdH remains (and always will be) a heavenly creation to me and will continue to be the source of much pleasure. If you like clean woody and resinous scents with spiciness that last and exude class, do yourself a favor. Get this while you can…before it ends up buried by the sands of time, or costs a King’s ransom.

Memoire D’homme by NINA RICCI
This cologne im almost empty on, its really good, but my bottles cap isnt sealed right and i lost alot of it when it spilled one day :(. this cologne projects very well and is kind of different, ive never smelt a cologne with licorice and ginger and lemon ll mixed together, its very good its very spicy with the right amount of zest from the lemon this lasts about 12-18 hours on my skin and projects very well.
i dont have lots to say about this because i dont use it very much because i dont have much in it, i use it for special occasions i geuss, because i know that no one will smell like me ;p
ilove the notes in this one its one of my top 15 favourites it used to be in my top 5 but i discovred more fragrances.

Memoire D’Homme is a fragrance that has its own peculiarities, is that hint of ancient and profound that has spanned the centuries up to we.The top notes of grapefruit and licorice are evolve in all their freshness, leaving space in the heart ginger and nutmeg, then fade, but several hours after the final nell’apoteosis with vetiver and amber. But the most striking ingredient remains opoponax, I think a resin that has spanned the centuries to us, in fact, along with myrrh was very used even in the days of King Solomon, which they use to seduce the Queen of Sheba.
What can I say? a mythical fragrance.
+10
fdh470InsuffBooni – :
Top notes of this are a bit of a turn off-too sharp and can be a bit off-putting.Of cos you dont really get to love a fragrance based on top notes alone as they tend to fade fast.that’s why I gave this time to really check it out.Good I did as the dry down is gorgeous.the soft ambery,woody nature makes it very appealing to my nose buds.
beard – :
I bought this fragrance based on a couple of things:
1. It’s not very popular – so not every Tom, Dick or Harry smells like it.
2. It got favorable reviews.
That said, I have to admit, that it is wonderful!
The initial scent is very zesty, and the drydown is very warm. The scent is not in-your-face, but it does draw one’s attention.
My coworkers were asking me what that amazing scent is, and even a client’s daughter, whose attention I was catching, finally smiled and spoke to me.
Thanks to the noses who created this magic in a bottle, and thanks to all you reviewers! Apparently the nose knows!

Should have got it when I get the chance to. Agree for its uniqueness and remarkable smell. This is a must haves!

According to the PR the base of this fragrance is “opoline” an accord the parfumer traced through antiquity back to Biblical times; supposedly Solomon used this balm to seduce the Queen of Sheba, (opoline contains: opoponax resin blended with myrrh, amber and musks)and it is truly rich and elegant. This frag also contains: pomelo, ginger, nutmeg, liquorice leaves, citron wood, bleu cedar and vetiver sap. This one is a must-have if you like well-blended, sexy, sweet resin based scents…another discontinued Classic.
crazy_dj – :
A very earthy fragrance with some sweet tones: I detect ginger, licorice and a woody-earthy note which is reminiscent of both M7( not the reformulated one) and Terre d’Hermes. Good Stuff, long-lasting, good projection( it is somewhat close to the skin- but nice). Different than the trends for men’s fragrances of today: not all of them are really masculine, but this certainly is.
rokki1611 – :
The drydown reminds me of a walnut with earthy and spicy accords. So sensual and well rounded. I can’t resist it!
tntsatana – :
this is an amazing scent..after trying it out for few days i recently fell in love with this fragrance.first spray is really really strong scent but after few minutes..its started to settle down and you can smell the grapefruit in it..the beginning is too harsh cant really smell the grapefruit but at the burst of spray youll smell nutmeg, ginger and licorice at the same time..this is a really strong and powerful scent..and longevity is insane..give me 14hours plus..and projection is really good
again..**very strong and intense**.daring
vovko11 – :
wow this is a strange scent for me..i dont know what to describe this scent..but its real strong when i first spray it..i think its the grapefruit and the licorice blend together to make this exotic scent..it reminds me of azzarro visit..when first spray it ..it smells like really strong alcohol like you sniffing a vodka..but this is less stronger than visit..it kinda bother my nose when sniff it deeply through my nose…i dont know if this is good to wear or bad thing..im going to have some time with this…

Unforgettable, gorgeous and complicated. Really a universal fragrance, could be worn almost anywhere. Unfortunately, the spray cap is of extremely low quality.
smisasha – :
The first thing that stroke my mind was some resemblance with Issey Miakye pour Homme: fruity-balsamic in the top notes then the smoky sweetness of walnut together with spicy-herbal ginger taking up the stage, leaving after 4-5 hrs a nice ambery-rooty smell. A mature and woody fragrance and also very underrated (it’s hard to find either). My humble rank 7.3/10. ☣☣☣
Cum _30 – :
I forgot how nice this fragrance was. The ginger and licorice lingers forever on my skin with the initial burst of grapefruit on application. This truly lasts all day on me and definately no need for second application. Great fragrance!!
