White Floral
When Sintra first launched in 2020, I believe I purchased a sizable decant. I didn't bother writing a review at that time; it was sometime in 2022. I'm totally re-evaluating my perfume loves/likes and changing things around a bit. Something compelled me to retry Sintra, so I did.
I cannot recall my original reaction to Memo Paris Sintra but this time 'round, I really love this stuff. In some ways, it reminds me of Liquides Imaginaires Blanche Bete. But Sintra has a much prettier floral blend than Blanche Bete (tuberose, jasmine). And on my skin, Sintra's dry down doesn't develop the lingering sour note I get in the dry down with Blanche Bete.
Sintra is a pretty, white floral (primarily orange blossom) fragrance with a creamy, slightly bitter, vanilla musk backdrop. I realize (especially after living with Blanche Bete) that I REALLY dislike tuberose notes in my fragrances. The neroli, jasmine and orange blossom give Sintra a lovely floral bouquet opening that is tempered with slight bitterness from the petitgrain and resins. I never really experience anything marshmallow, or caramel, etc in the drydown. The base notes are lovely florals, orange blossom, petit grain, vanilla and musk.
And I sprayed a bit on my skin about 5-6 hours back; the scent is just starting to fade.
I really love this fragrance! Full bottle worthy!
