Sintra
Sintra by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, red berries and petitgrain, moves into orange blossom, cinnamon and rose and dries down to bourbon vanilla, caramel and marshmallow. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Marshmallow Soft, sugary and pillowy. Pure comfort.
