Eh, what grapefruit? Nevermind grapefruit, I don't get any fruit, just faint ginger and lots of woods. Masculine? Yes. But boring too, I'm afraid. MEMOIRE D'HOMME just doesn't cut it in today's ultra-competitive fragrance market. Tip: the more interesting licorice note holds better on fabric, but stick to dark colors.

This is my best Fragrance of all times and nothing can come close to it. A Fragrance that is very well made in every aspect & perfected beyond the perfection itself.

Interisting and kind of "intricated" fragrance. Owned a bottle 2 years ago and ware it with pleasure during Winter - only will not go for one more. Half thumb up...

Sharp and aromatic grapefruit opening. Turns into generic composion of woods and spices. Contemporay fresh chypre scent, utterly boring to me. It doesn`t have anything special into it. (oh well, the bottle is really nice)

I cannot see any resemblance to Tea for Two, but at the same time I agree that this has something tea-like going on. Its dry, slightly smoky accord which gives me this feeling.
I wish that tea would be much stronger here, though : with those citrus notes it could have probably been able to create somekinfd of Earl Grey vibe, and that would have been perhaps something more interesting.

*yawn*

i love grapefruit but as previously stated the ginger ruins it. no power and very dry. it's a basic scent with no complexity. if it were by calvin klein evry drugstore would sell it.

One of my very favorite vetiver frags -- imagine Happy for Men (all that grapefruit) mixed with a generous dose of nutmeg, all layered upon a resinous, smoky, woody vetiver base.

Not for the faint of heart, no. Like Lempicka au Masculin and Dali pour Homme, Mémoire is pretty strong stuff. (This due to the bitterness of the nutmeg, the piquancy of the ginger and the woody strength of the vetiver). Two thumbs up from me, though.
