About
Sintra by Memo Paris is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Sintra was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Philippe Paparella-Paris. Top notes are Petitgrain, Red Fruits and Bergamot; middle notes are Orange, Cinnamon and Rose; base notes are Caramel, Vanilla and Musk. "With Sintra, Memo explores the meanders of an enchanting landscape, not far from Lisbon, Portugal. A city and its palace emerging from a colourful dream, with soft shapes and a thousand hiding places, surrounded by lush vegetation and various species, lulled by the sound of the nearby sea and the inviting freshness of the fountains. The magic of childhood suddenly reawakened, its pastel colors, its comforting scents.Around the corner from a palace, an unexpected rainforest. The heart of an absolute orange. The lace of an azulejo, the spiral of a hidden staircase, petitgrain after petitgrain after petitgrain...Welcoming visions everywhere. The glow of an absolute vanilla. A fountain whispers, a turret smiles, a garden greets you with its hands. A castle does a peacock wheel. A soft and colourful walk, a pause soon and the surprise of a sweet marshmallow confectionery. The present of childhood. Musks. Getting lost." - a note from the brand.
