Memo Paris Sintra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Philippe Paparella-Paris. Sintra opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Orange, Rose, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Caramel. Memo Paris's Sintra carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Sintra is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance. Prepare for a divisive opening - some find it medicinal, others green and sharp - that eventually mellows into a super-sweet, milky caramel dream, far too rich for some.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting, extremely sweet gourmand nature make Sintra ideal for dates or evenings out where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's too much for an office setting, and not nearly fresh enough for sport. While it's a bit too bold for everyday casual wear, some reviewers do enjoy it for special casual occasions.

About

Opens with a brisk, green splash of petitgrain and bergamot, punctuated by a hint of red fruits, giving it an unexpectedly sharp start. This quickly transitions into a heart of sweet orange and a whisper of rose and cinnamon. The grand finale is a thick, creamy caramel and vanilla gourmand, underpinned by soft musk, creating a rich, almost edible sweetness that lingers beautifully.
