This perfume is gorgeous. …It’s very reminiscent of Love Don’t Be Shy by Killian. The sweetened orange blossom is scrumptious. It’s a stunning, warm, luxurious perfume.

Longevity and projection are possibly slightly better than average.

And yes, I prefer it to Love Don’t Be Shy because it’s earthier, and possibly more elegant, rich and deep. It’s very good! For me Sintra is an argument in favor of niche if there ever was one.

Nose: Alienor Massenet

My gosh. Memo makes good perfume! I can’t think of perfume that’s more luxurious to wear than Memo.

It’s like HD perfume. You know? It’s so vivid. …Ozonic. Cool. …It’s…a very sophisticated wearing experience. The watery notes in this one are so real albeit not literal. It can be worn by men or women, although I wonder if it’s a bit feminine.

Longevity and sillage are about average.
