Memoir Man for less: Givenchy Givenchy Gentleman
Givenchy Givenchy Gentleman shares 7 published notes with Amouage Memoir Man (rose, amber, leather, musk, oakmoss, vanilla, vetiver), and both lean smoky woods. It is a department-store price option.
A strong overlap on paper. Shared notes don't guarantee the same smell on skin; try samples of both side by side.
