A dignified sweetness
I was fully prepared to dismiss Sintra—surely it would be too girly, too saccharine, too juvenile.
And while it does indeed exhibit some of those characteristics, it's also incredibly well executed.
Sintra is often compared to Kilian's Love Don't be Shy, but don't be fooled: Sintra is by far the superior fragrance. While I found LDBS unbalanced and gag-inducing, in Sintra the green accord cuts through the orange marshmallow sweetness, providing much needed edge and freshness.
A playful scent and a pleasant surprise.
