Memo Paris Sintra EDP

Description

Sintra channels the misty, palace-dotted hills outside Lisbon, a 2020 Amber Floral from Memo Paris perfumer Philippe Paparella-Paris built around petitgrain, cinnamon, and a caramel-vanilla drydown. It's less a postcard of Portugal and more the specific, slightly eerie romance of Sintra's overgrown estates at dusk. Reviewers frequently describe the finish as "vanilla marshmallow."

Scent Character

Sintra's fragrance record doesn't carry a numeric accord breakdown, so here's the honest qualitative read: it's an Amber Gourmand, bright petitgrain and red fruit up top, a spiced orange-rose heart, and a caramel-vanilla-musk base. Warm and sweet rather than fresh or green.
