Anyone Receive Iman's Love Memoir?

If so, please share your thoughts and comment. I see reviews are coming in at HSN and seem favorable. What is your impression?

Iman's story is such a beautiful tribute to their lives and love. Does the fragrance evoke any feelings for you? Much TIA.

@rochelleS Yes I received mine and am very happy with it. Fragrance is very personal and smells differently on people depending on ones skin and body chemistry. Therefore reviews will be all over the place.

It smelled strong with the first spray but once it dried down and settled it was a warm lovely scent with good staying power. One spritz is all you need. It's well balanced and can go from day to night. The body lotion is wonderful too, not heavy and lightly scented.

It was a wonderful purchase for me, and one you would have to try for yourself to see how it interacts with your body chemistry.

Yes, I've received mine. I purchased the TS set. I rarely purchase any fragrance because when I do they last a long, long time. I was drawn in by Iman's charm and her memories of her marriage to David Bowie. How could one go wrong evoking that love story? So I wore it immediately and I do like it. You only need a little, it's strong but lovely. Like Iman herself.

One of the "notes" is patchouli....which is a turn-off for me.

I received the ts set and don't like it. Regardless of the story behind its creation, it just isn't a fragrance I like around or on me. I find it "heavy" and "masculine". My husband's reaction was that it is "ok" and that is how I feel about it too. Not a fragrance I want to wear.

@Desertdi One of the facial/hair oils I had purchased had a note of patchouli. As long as it isn't too strong, it doesn't bother me. It reminds me of the 60's.

I received a sample of it a few months ago and I don't care for it. It is much too strong and heavy for me but everyone's chemistry is different.

@Shanus It doesn't react well with my chemistry....and I give off a cloud of something like bug killer and gasoline (!!)

I ordered Dolly's and Toni's...both no. I didn't think twice about taking a chance on Iman's. Going to stick to sampling first. I learned my lesson.

I did not order Iman's or Dolly's fragrance due to patchouli being in them both....I get a migraine almost instantly and nausea. Plus trying something like fragrance over TV just never works out for me LOL!

I think most of the Nest Fragrance line has it and also Lancome...heck I find it in candles also and avoid them too!

@mspatmac

Thank you so much for your most articulate response.

I agree, fragrance is very personal and our individual body chemistry certainly can effect a great difference from one person to another.

Your positive impression is encouraging. Wishing you continued joy wearing your new Love Memoir!

@mspemberley

I enjoyed Iman's story too. Who wouldn't appreciate a tale of true love...and a heartfelt loss. Yet, I was attracted to the notes of this fragrance and how they're playing out for those who actually have tried it. Nice to hear this has worked well for you. Enjoy!

@Jk9

It's too bad this fragrance didn't work out for you. Unfortunately listening to a presentation evokes thoughts and feelings as to how it'll translate on us. Obviously it is not always successful or how we had hoped it to be. A risk we take vs visiting an actual perfume counter in person. Thank you for responding!

both Iman and Dolly react well with me as long as I really hold the spray far away from me

I received mine today. I like it. My chemistry will usually turn fragrances to a totally different scent that is usually not good lol. Because they had the purse size when I decided to order that is what I ordered. It does not turn "bad" on me. It is a nice warm fragrance. I do not smell the patchouli at all which is good. I have never liked that fragrance. I was hesitant to purchase because it is in the fragrance but I can't tell it's in there at all. I am happy with this purchase.

Like some of the posters say you do not need much. and it does last. I have had it on for 5 hours and it still smells nice.

@rochelleS It's nice to hear the different experiences with a fragrance. And it is hard to know how our body chemistry will respond to the different formulas. I think I will stick to trying out a fragrance in the future before I purchase. Thanks for starting the thread.

No didn't buy and have to say that the whole thing about selling perfume as a tribute to a dead loved one kind of creeps me out---not that the story behind it is awful--just the SELLING part is, to me. If the proceeds were going to a charity or a personal cause that her husband was involved in, then maybe .....kind of rubbed me the wrong way---and then just buying a frangrance online with no way to test it is not my thing either----I like both of them but is this just for the $$ and cashing in on his name----
