Tamarindo, from Memo Paris was released in 2018. The perfumer behind this creation is Sophie Labbé. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Cardamom, Mandarin Orange, and Orange, middle notes of Coconut, Jasmine, Peach, Pineapple, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Benzoin, Patchouli, and Vanilla.
This scent is a little piece of paradise like is Tamarindo beach, it’s brilliant sunsets and the surrounding areas of vibrant jungles in Costa Rica. It’s a tropical punch which gives me an energy in the middle of the grey Finnish winter - yes, this winter has been gray not white. The scent is fruity and sweet but in the same time so elegant and classy. Pineapple in the opening is deliciously juicy and the floral heart with delicate Peach is absolutely ravishing. The base is warm and the creamy texture reminds me of Piña Colada and Coconut even if it’s not there. “Tamarindo is lined with lush wilderness, surrounded by turquoise waters beyond the primal forest and mountains. Giant tamarind trees are home to colourful parrots, their cries ringing through the jungle, the warm forest air made humid with forgotten scents. A round of captivating notes, a dizzying dance beneath the sun. Tamarindo is a well-guarded secret, a joyful landscape, a trail of happiness, a solar scent.” Syncopated dance of drums, oil of jasmine, soft graze of Guanacaste leaves, as green as emeralds. Pineapple catches the light with each facet. It blossoms like a flower beneath the Cardamom sun, caressed by the frothy spray of bergamot. Vanilla takes on a soft, red glow. Though I’m swept away by the benzoin wind, though the breaking waves turn my heart patchouli, I return to Tamarindo where the jungle is a show of art. Between the giant spiders and the happy lizards, inspiration takes on a heady scent. If you find Tamarindo too tropical or too sweet, I recommend you to try "Madurai | Memo Paris" which is more Jasmine scent with a subtle hint of Peach (the review made). It has creamy, woody base. Or if you want a tad similar vibe but something more intimate I recommend to try "Flåm | Memo Paris" .
