The story behind the bottle.
Sintra by Memo Paris is a composition that balances the fresh and sweet, with a citrus-aromatic opening that gives way to caramel and vanilla. Perfumer Philippe Paparella-Paris captures the essence of warm spices like cinnamon and musky notes, creating a fragrance that feels both bright and comforting. Launched in 2020, Sintra is an Oriental Floral scent that blends the freshness of bergamot and orange with the warmth of rose and caramel, making it a versatile choice for both men and women.
Sintra’s top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so aim for two sprays to ensure the caramel and musky base notes have time to develop. It pairs well with daytime wear due to its bright opening, but it also transitions gracefully into evening.
