Les Echappées - Sundance Memo Paris 2007

I remember the first time I smelled Sundance very well. It was in autumn 2011 at my perfumery in Frankfurt. I was invited to a presentation of the company Memo. The perfumes of this brand were presented there and my choice fell on Lalibela and Sundance. I was very fond of both of them, but I bought Sundance because of the pear, tuberose and tiare - my clear favourites.

Every time I wear this scent, the sun rises in my heart. The fragrance is present from the very first moment. It starts fruity and citric - it is the pear that enchants me again and again. Immediately the tuberose is in the power and has its employment. And exactly this beautiful combination of tuberose and pear enchants me every time anew.

Sundance isn't going through much development. The citric and fruity fragrance components weaken a little. The fragrance then falls into the cuddly iris sandalwood bed. But until the end the citric scents resonate with me and this constantly in step with the tuberose makes this "Sundance" for me. For me this makes it a very reliable daily companion.

Unfortunately the production of Sundance was stopped in 2017, which is incomprehensible to me personally. In 2016 Marfa was introduced by Memo. It's not really a substitute for me. Marfa is for me a creamy, warm, slightly spicy and not sweet tuberose, framed in an orange blossom vanilla bed. Although in its own way also wonderfully beautiful, but at Sundance the sun fire dances through the incredibly radiant combination of pear, lemon & bergamot and tuberose.

So far I haven't smelled anything comparable, often looked for a worthy replacement, but haven't found one yet. But luckily there is Parfumo :-). Two very dear perfumas found two bottles in a perfumery by chance and bought them for me. Let's see how long my stock will last.

I very much regret that the production of my wonderful Sundance was discontinued.
