Tamarindo
Tamarindo by Memo Paris is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pineapple, sweet orange and bergamot, moves into sambac jasmine, peach and freesia and dries down to benzoin, patchouli, vanilla and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
Dry-down
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
