Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tamarindo EDP
This one's a divisive trip to the tropics. Some find it a luxurious, grown-up pineapple fantasy, whilst others are left scratching their heads wondering, 'where's the pineapple?' and complaining about a lacklustre drydown. Definitely sample before you commit.
Statement
Our Verdict - Tropical Seed EDP
A budget version of Memo Paris Tamarindo. Tropical Seed reproduces the candied-pineapple-and-white-floral signature, but the sugary fruit reads louder and more synthetic up top while the smooth vanilla-benzoin drydown loses some of the original's plush depth.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tamarindo

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its prominent fruity and sweet accords, coupled with a performance that often leans bright and projecting, makes it less suited for a formal office. It truly shines in casual and date settings, especially in warmer weather, where its tropical vibe can be fully appreciated.

Tropical Seed

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

The candied tropical fruit and creamy florals are made for warm weather, fading in the cold.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its playful, juicy sweetness suits casual summer days and relaxed date nights more than the office.
