Sintra evokes the colourful palaces and sweet shops of the Portuguese town. Bergamot and red berries open on a tangy note, softened by petitgrain.
The heart of orange blossom and rose, barely pricked with cinnamon, slips towards a soft base of vanilla, caramel and marshmallow. A tender, airy gourmand, more cloud than pastry.

Sintra in detail
Memo Paris conceives its fragrances as travel journals. Sintra, signed by Philippe Paparella, evokes a childhood memory of this Portuguese town: a tender gourmand in which marshmallow, orange blossom and caramel recall the sweets of a pastry shop.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot, red berries and bitter orange leaves, a fruity, slightly green start. The heart brings together orange blossom, cinnamon and rose. The base pairs vanilla, caramel and marshmallow, a soft, gourmand foundation.
Sintra is worn in autumn and winter, by day or by night: a cold day, an afternoon treat, an end-of-year party. Its red berries and orange blossom keep it from becoming too heavy, despite its sweetness.
Three gourmand fragrances in our catalogue come close: Lira by Xerjoff shares bergamot, cinnamon, rose, caramel and vanilla; Darling Point, from the same house, brings together cinnamon, orange blossom and rose; Pegasus by Parfums de Marly pairs bergamot, orange blossom and vanilla with almond.
