I was immediately impressed when I first smelled it. The initial citrusy yet amber mix is very clever. This unisex fragrance is good for the spring and summer, although its powdery tones may lean a bit more feminine. Works great on me though. The drydown is definitely powdery and tropical, with its coconut and pineapple tones.
I am not sure that I am pleased with the longevity though. I wish it lasted longer. I got 6 hours from it, after which it became skin scent.
All in all, I would recommend it.

Carpe Noctem

I tested this directly from the brand, without looking at the notes first.

I was surprised to read patchouli and pineapple are the top notes smelled by others as I never would have guessed that. To me, it’s pretty, but like someone else said; too expensive for what it is. I would describe it as just fruity and vanilla. In no way does it remind me of Coco or the Diors that are listed above.

Kind of hard to believe this is actually a Memo scent actually!

ina.rem

Not my favorite from this brand, as I find it lacks originality compared to other scents from Memo. It reminds me of many other fragrances. The pineapple note, which is prominent, doesn't strike me as a safe or straightforward choice. Personally, I associate pineapple in perfumes with an ammonia-like scent due to the presence of ammonia and other nitrogenous substances, which can give off a urine aspect. But this perception isn't general, and many might find the pineapple note to be fresh and sweet. Just a heads-up: this might not be the best choice for blind buys.

Hifza

Tropical and luxurious scent! It's a fruity magic, sweet but a very pleasurable one. I love the initial scent which I can feel it after the spray, that is soothing, all I get is spring vibes and I am not that fond of pineapple but this this fragrance is different, pineapple adds a very smooth and a divine touch to this scent. But, the dry down fades the pleasing scent, just the sweetness is left which makes me feel worse. Is there any other similar scent which smells same even after the dry down? I cannot let go of this one :(

ShinningLightOfThunder

Gorgeous tropical perfume!

hrhalexandru6

First spray is boozy, then the pineapple sets in for a short time, then... it's all about the jasmine and tuberose. Tried it two times but I'm not sure I find Tamarindo growing on me. I wouldn't describe this fragrance as a joy ride in terms of an olfactory journey but it certainly is pleasant and easy to wear - not a safe blind buy though;- the combo pineapple + jasmine + tuberose + coconut + patchouli can be a bit off-putting. Fragrance for spring and summer - daytime.

HajuvesiPossu

i really like this one. i dont find it to be femine at all

LunaFortuna

I'm madly in love with this one. I got it from a place that decants fragrances, and in the past, I've had issues with said place's bottles evaporating or being extremely watered down. Therefore, I'm hopeful that the performance might be even better once I get my full sized bottle, but even as is, I'm not mad at it. Yes, it does remind me a bit of Coco Mademoiselle, which is a fragrance that I also love, but it's also so different. The spiciness of the cardamom, the tropical fruits, and the overall composition of notes is just so different. I can see why it gets compared to it, but it's definitely its own fragrance as well. On me, cardamom is very peppery, and I love that about it. Would I consider this to be a tropical perfume? Well, despite having the likes of pineapple and coconut in it, it's not as fresh as a lot of other traditionally tropical fragrances. I wouldn't say that this is a freshie, per se, but it's not rich or cloying either. It walks the fine line between being a good all-rounder because it's neither fresh nor heavy. I picture exotic, sandy dunes and faraway places whenever I smell this. In the first two hours of wearing this, I was disappointed because it didn't project that well on me. However, it crept up on me. Over time, it heated up on my body chemistry and became stronger and stronger. I am wearing this in winter, though, so it might not be the most ideal conditions for it. I can't wait to test it in the summer and spring. I can definitely still smell it after 8 hours of wear but it's in a far more intimate scent bubble than it was at in its peak a few hours ago. Nevertheless, I am enamored with this scent and am ordering a full bottle as soon as possible.

P.S. - Try layering this with a vanilla fragrance to make it richer, deeper, and more intense. Tamarindo + Kayali Vanilla 28 = divine!

The opening takes you several places in quick succession. Immediately after spraying it's very boozy. The alcohol they used here doesn't smell like rubbing alcohol - like in most cheap frags. It smells like whiskey. Like there's actual whiskey in this thing. Anyway, once the alcohol evaporates, I'm suddenly hit with the smell of chinese dried fruits...like dried peaches. A couple of minutes later cardamom takes over. Overwhelmingly.

Cardamom is also used in chinese medicine so it also smells like that.

Weird that for a frag named Tamarindo there doesn't appear to be any tamarind notes.

15 mins after spraying the cardamom appear to be ramping down. I wonder how this will develop next - fruity or flowery?

45 mins in vanilla and benzoin. Weird. I never got any of the citruses, the peach, the white flowers or the coconut.

1hr 15 mins it's all vanilla now. A slightly bugspray smelling vanilla. I think I already reached the base notes and this has nothing left to give as far as development.

Just waiting for this to dissipate so I can give an assessment of longevity.

5 hrs in the vanilla base is still there but significantly faded. At this rate expected longevity is around 6-7 hrs.

7.5 hrs in. It's practically gone. So total longevity is 7-8 hrs depending on skin chem.

Beccalysle

I recently ordered decants of JHAG Mmmm..., Memo Tamarindo and D&S Durga Pistachio. I didn't mean to order three fragrances that all have a vanilla and patchouli base but here I am...

These three all have similar DNA, but Tamarindo is the freshest and most summery of the bunch, owing much of its lightness to a profusion of white flowers that reminds me of Tokyo Milks 20,000 Flowers Under the Sea. Though not listed in the notes, Tamarindo, to my nose also has a slightly aquatic quality that, too, is reminiscent of the Tokyo Milk scent. I am not getting the coconut as some other reviewers have mentioned - or if it is there it synthesizes with the white flowers to create a sunny beach accord that's uplifting. Similarly, nothing overtly screams pineapple to me either, but it's sparkling there with the sunny beach accord.

The wear time on this outlasts those of the other two that mentioned (as I am testing them simultaneously). Interesting that out of the three, this one lasts for the longest by far, given that it's relatively light on its feet. After the first hour, the patchouli really comes to the forefront, but it isn't heavy, so much as earthy and grounding. Paired with the white flowers, the patchouli simply gives it a rich "green" effect, though there remains a clear nod to Angel.

I've really enjoyed this fragrance, and am now excited to try more from Memo Paris. This scent is not at all what I was expecting, but is somehow more, and works well not only on warm, sunny days but is comforting on a cool, fall day as well.

I love Memo's Tamarindo a lot. It is incredibly fresh, zesty, summer fragrance with an opening of pineapple and drydown of white florals. It's very sweet and juicy. The fruit accord is what makes it so unique and beautiful. We are all tired of those "beachy" and salty coconut-style fragrances for the summer with notes of exotic fruits, but this one is a stunner. It's definitely very unique due to the fact that it's so potent, not salty or marine, not too much on a coconut, and just perfectly balanced. I imagine it's inspired partially by Aventus, but I have never smelled Aventus, so let me know! The coconut here is soft and mostly is hidden (unlike the coconut in Heretic Perfums Dirty Coconut), it's more like the coconut in Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc. When you compare it to other fruity fragrances, it's really standing alone. It's not as bitter as Tom Ford's Bitter Beach, nor is it musky like the Tiziana Terenzi's Draco. It has nothing to do with spices unlike Plum Japonais, and it's not as light and "transparent" as Diptyque's Ilio. Finally it is only semi-sweet, nothing like Jo Malone's perfumes (Nectarine and Honey comes to mind). The closest "vibe" I get is JHG "Pear inc", but that one is heavy on pear with similar drydown though.

Maya lilac

Tamarindo opens with fresh, juicy pineapple, mixed with overripe peaches and some sweet citruses. The floral notes that stands out the most in my experience in this gorgeous juice are lush jasmine and creamy tuberose.

I don’t get here any coconut, ylang-ylang, cardamom or vanilla.
From the base notes what shines the most on me is patchouli and benzoin. Patchouli very nice blended with pineapple and zesty citruses, such a good combo!!

To summarise, I would say that Tamarindo is a well rounded fizzy, sweet pineapple combination with warm benzoin and strong, clean patchouli. A tropical, fruity, floral, patchouli bomb!

Also, I have Coco Mademoiselle and I can say that Tamarindo is somewhat similar especially in the base to CM but Tamarindo it’s a more exotic/tropical variation of Coco Maidemoiselle. Similar but different to justify having both in my collection.
I am happy to own both because Tamarindo will be my spring/summer fruity patchouli and Coco will be fall/winter pick.

Performance on this one is moderate to long lasting but it doesn’t project too much so it’s perfect for summer wear without being too much in the high heat.

Zethre

Sweet, tropical pineapple goodness - these smells like a cross between Angel Iced Star and Angel eau Croisiere, but with less patchouli (not that there's much patchouli in those 2 flankers).
Very nice sweet syrupy goodness. I swear I smell fig in there?! Along with soft tropical flowers and pineapple. I don't know that I need it as well as Iced Star and eau Croisiere though.

teenwolf

Fruitchuli but in the best way! Im usually quite sensitive to patchouli and upon first spray that's what it was, mixed with a ripest realistic pineapple. The scent didn't transform as much since the scent is quite balanced its not a difficult or daring scent. Makes you smell like an expensive lobby of a beach resort at a tropical location (in the best way). Layered this with Creed's Aventus and the sweetness of Tamarindo danced with the smokiness of birch in an intriguing way.

i blind bought this as a almost 30 year old asian man and i have no regrets :)

ShmellyC

Patchouli, Cardamom, Vanilla, Jasmine, Tuberose and Coconut, this blend dominated on my skin and revealed itself in that order. The fruits kept the drama at bay, but stayed in the background. Well blended, elegant, dramatic, slightly milky, powdery. An evening/night scent (on me).
Definitely will be wearing this to an elegant dinner with family or work colleagues.
I would've loved to have smelled the Ylang Ylang come through but I didn't get the slightest whiff of it.

Interesting, a few hours later and the vanilla, peach, tuberose and benzoin become more prominent. Still well blended but it definitely transforms and sweetens a little. Nothing headache inducing; still elegant.

hayjuney

Fruity floral. Hawaii vibes. Wish the fruity part could last longer. Tuberose feels a bit much, especially for hot or humid weather.

MademoiselleMaya

Amazing. It is luxurious. Effortless. High quality is obvious by how well it wears. It wears in 25+Celsius as if a most refreshing cologne, yet it is hot and tropical scent-wise.
It is the most elegant pineapple I've ever met in parfume.
It is the most magnificent bergamot a top of it. The most sensual benzoin and patchouli, never felt them so refreshing but here. It is orange, it is jasmin and tuberose as canvas. It is how hot paradise breeze full of fruits and vegetation smells. I love it.

venush

This is an exact dupe of Visa by Robert Piguet. There might be any slight differences but nothing substantial.

morejmh

This is a beautiful beast. It’s so much more than the sum of its parts too. I thought I would never enjoy a fragrance with patchouli but this obliterated that theory. It’s bright yet warm. Definitely a sweet, fruity, floral fragrance. I could see myself wearing this year-round.

Rosemary14

So, once again I like the one that no one talks about. While Sintra gets all the attention like a hottie on instagram this one has less followers but is infinitely more attractive to me. Plus it doesn’t (look) smell like a million other hotties (clones) like Sintra. It’s fresh and fruity, but creamy, and of course smooth with that sophisticated Memo DNA. It’s a sweet pineapple, peachy, citrus with some tropical florals over a creamy coconut/vanilla base. There’s something warm and rich in there. Probably the benzoin. I get the Chanel comparison because it does have that elegant sparkly feeling of possible aldehyde’s in the dry down, but it’s more interesting and modern. Plus, there’s no extreme patchouli like Coco Mad and heavy on the pineapple so I don’t get the comparison to that fragrance at all.

Anabanana08

This is so so so sweet that I don't think I can personally wear it, but it's beautiful and delicious. The pineapple is gorgeous here.

lmnsvgz

No, this is not similar to Coco Mademoiselle edt. This is a pineapple bomb. The beginning is so juicy and fresh yet sweet in a natural way. It is easy to like - another Memo that could be a good blind buy. I find it easy to wear and a bit unisex. The coconut and white florals are in the base, but aren't prominent. The pineapple can be smelled even in the drydown. GORGEOUS.

PolarBear2

I bought this in London in March because the skies were brightening up for spring, but still cold in the afternoons and it was drizzling. It felt like a cold scent but comforting and a bit vibrant. It is supposed to be fruity but not so on my skin. Its gorgeous and not offensive. Although they are different, it gives me the same vibes as Gris Dior for some reason. I recommend for spring and summer. I love it !

SNKIOP

Spring scent: 7/10 Get a lot of peach, it's sweet and it leans very feminin imo. Silage: 4/10 Longevity 5/10

aliyegore

It is a perfume that fits well in the niche category, where the pineapple feels very nice, the perfume is very thinly built around the sweet notes. It is original and open to general appreciation. Easy to carry and sweet yet definitely tiring or fed up

likesleet

i wish this smelled like tamarind or i got something tropical or desert-y. instead this was just fresh and clean, not sugary or spicy.

Ilikewhatilike

I liked this and on my skin it gave a wonderful tropical vibe and performed well. The tuberose pops out a lot and doesnt suit what Im looking for, but if someone likes tuberose and is looking for a great tropical scent for hanging out a resort, then I'd say give it a sample.

annema

Not sure about this one. I liked the fresh pineapple opening so much I was ready to buy a travel size bottle. Fortunately for my bank account it was out of stock this day at the store. The thing is the tropical and summery smell disappears quickly on me. What's left if some sort of abstract white flowers mixed with coconut and I smelled that before. Not the best coconut smell I experienced as well. Not really a tropical scent either. It reminds me CSP Coconut but mixed with a bunch of other things and that feels out of context. Not a bad perfume though but Memo Paris prices are so high it does not worth IMO.

thezoeedit

Super gorgeous fruity, summer in a bottle! Tropical fruit opening, will be purchasing a full bottle.
Reminds me of a summer fruit candy as a kid.

markromeo5

To summer up,
This is MAGIC in a bottle!

LovelyLifestyle

If you looked at the notes and were exciting to try a juicy and fruity fragrance, then keep on moving.
You will be highly disappointed.

The opening is pure magic. You get the juicy pineapple, the peach, coconut, ylang ylang. Stunning.
Then it starts to dry down and it becomes a non-descript perfumy aldehidic mess (think Chanel fragrances).
As you know, you don't wear the opening, you wear the dry down. Such a shame.
No thanks to smelling like a grandmother in Florida playing bingo.

Icaruswashere

I got it as a gift so when I read that its main thing was pineapple i was shocked, i never knew there were pineapple scents in perfumes. But as i used it i grew to love it, it's like vanilla and pineapple had a love child, sweet and fruity but not overbearing. Definitely a summer scent. Giving me outgoing and talkative fun friend vibe. It's been a few years and i have 1/4 left. Kind of a hit or miss, my sister absolutely detests it, my friends think it smells bold and fun. Would recommend if you love vanilla!

lorenzo_yann_morelli

Warm sand

A blast of bergamot that lasts a minute and a warm accord of sand similar to the one present in Profvmvm's Sabbia Bianca (minus the flowers) with the warmth of tobacco similar to the one in Naxos by Xerjoff. Couldn't put it easier than this. Great scent! Redundant if you have small decants of these two like myself though..

ameda

Tart fruity top notes roll back very quickly, revealing a pleasant, rather old-fashioned jasmine and tuberose heavy oriental floral - flowery sweet, not candy sweet. Peach and coconut dry down goes a bit woody, but still very much femme leaning. Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna gives similar effect and performance, with modern updates, for far fewer coins. I'm glad to have tried it, but I won't wear it.

Kaylovely

Smells exactly like coco intense... save your money and just buy that one. It's actually better and stronger! I tried to love Tamarindo, but it's something off like Delina cold and harsh.

Mademoisellejaimie

I got a decant of this and the moment I opened the package I smelled Coco Mademoiselle! I was a bit disappointed since I don't like CM. But wait! This smells like Coco mademoiselle went and made friends with a bunch of tropical fruits and left out the screechy eye-watering patchouli. Here, the patch is much more palatable and accompanied by a creamy (coconut) pineapple. A very classy summer scent! I'm here for it! I'm gonna use up my decant then I might purchase a full bottle!

ScentBliss555

I was not expecting the initial patchouli-pineapple bomb opening but it softens right away and gets really good!!
This is such a great summer scent in which every single note envelopes the patchouli. The pineapple, ylang ylang and the florals really shine here and the patchouli adds depth to the sweet and floral notes. I get the Coco Mademoiselle reference. A softer version with added sweetness. In the drydown the gourmand notes tone down and the vanilla appears. This stage is so pleasant & understated.

Kaylovely

Kind've upset to know I was planning to buy this.. when I have Nuits de Noho & Soleil Blanc in my collection. I may buy a organic pineapple lotion if I want more of the orange juice pineapple vibe this gives.

A Warm Slumber…
… in the last light of a long sunset

The way the fragrance unfolds on me communicates a prophecy on how I may age with time:

The first spray is wonderful and unisex, with a bright citrus that is grounded by a spicy warm vanilla. As the fragrance begins to wilt to intimate silage, it sheds its brighter notes until the last note standing is vanilla. While vanilla has positive associations for me (think: baked goods, a warm home and friendly hospitality), it’s almost too nurturing for me here, as it keeps me in a long and reluctant slumber.

If this glimpse into the future is valid, then this is not how I would prefer to age: I hope to stay refreshingly vivacious and spontaneous. Still, I am very impressed by the fragrance’s quiet and self-assured presence. Actually, it reminds me of the kind of soap that I might find at a high end beauty salon. The scent’s reassuring and sweet effect reminds me of Prep Rally by Dry Bar.

To reinvigorate myself, and break through the subduing and monotonous power of the vanilla, I tried spritzing a layer of my fruity floral scent on top, which helped me wear this product more happily. On its own, I imagine that it’s a wonderful transition scent between seasons, day or night. Silage is moderate to intimate, turning skin intimate within the hour for me.

Kaylovely

Angel share but fresher and more fruity. Yum, last a good while, gives aventus a run for the money. If you want to save on memo or Creed try "Nose paris"!
Update: on clothing this is very orange juice after brushing your teeth... beautiful on skin but. So glad I didn't get a FB. The voted notes show pineapple yet there are 2 diffrent orange notes with 6 overall citrus/sour /bitter notes.
2nd update: I have 1725 on my shirt from like 7am I sprayed this on top to refresh as I thought 1725 was gone. 2am the next day and 1725 is almost stronger than this at first spray. The creaminess from 1725 with the orange/ pineapple toothpaste. I may be going back and forth with Tamarindo as everytime I smell it it's either hit or miss. The winter is probably throwing me off as my first impression was in summer. I think this is beautiful, just scary when the cardamom, orange note shines more one day than the next.
Smells like tropical gum, like Pina Coloda trident.
Ok last update: I have Nuits de noho & Soleil blanc so I will just layer them... wow!

cranky137

Smells like another version of La vie est belle for a niche price 😊

Dramaloladiva

This is beautiful! The opening is mouth watering and delicious!
The dry down is heavy and almost headache inducing but I still love it (yeah, call me crazy, I know).
I really like this fragrance because it is well blended and luxurious. I can smell the fruits, the florals and the base notes too. I just think that personally, it is more of a cold weather scent because of the heaviness of it. I suppose this could be layered with a lighter scent to temper the patchouli in it? Something light and simplistic like Dirty Coconut by Heretic or Florgasm (Heretic as well)? I don’t know. I’ll have to figure this out.
In any case, it is a very nice fragrance and I am intrigued by the other scents from Memo Paris. I want to sample Sintra and Siwa as well.
More to come when the cold weather hits!!

darimai

A grown up, slightly spicy gourmand with all the ingredients of tropical paradise.
It really smells like pineapple! But more on the sweet side, a bit spicy and well rounded with vanilla.
Reminds you of those luxury resorts full of big hats, big sunglasses, and big yachts.

Gazel

I find no resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle. This fragrance smells summer, the fruit of summer. It's tropical, it's fruity without being sweet. It's a beautiful creation by Memo Paris.

JHart

Tropical, sweet floral, powdery fragrance. It's beautiful! Even though I find it refined and elegant, I don't get the Coco Mademoiselle vibes that others are talking about. Travel size worthy in my opinion. Very, very pretty!

cool_sparkling_water

Basically Coco Mademoiselle goes on a tropical vacation. With fruity, creamy pineapple, coconut and tropical white florals. Long lasting and strong on me. After 5 or so hours it is Coco Mademoiselle edt on steroids. If I liked CM I’d be in heaven.

Pomme de Terrier

At first, I did not care for this scent at all. Too screechy with my chemistry - probably the tuberose and jasmine.

A couple of months passed, and my nose adjusted I suppose. It is still predominantly white floral, but the bright fruit, almost over-ripe (redolent of Pulp, though lighter), notes balance it out. The coconut is more a suggestion of creaminess than beach, and I don’t pick up on the patch yet.

Since I typically avoid gardenia/tuberose/jasmine white florals, this one was added to the collection after finding a good offer. Id you have well-performing fragrances of a similar composition, it may not be.

If you are in a hot, humid climate, be careful about summer days. This one could be overwhelming then and better serve for fall or spring.

bovogie

To me, this smells like a very green, almost crunchy tuberose. I hardly get any coconut & vanilla. The pineapple seems to only enhance the patchouli & benzoin, making it like fresh cut grass. The peach, ylang-ylang & Jasmine mellow the blunt tuberose. While the orange & bergamot seem to help brighten the cardamom to a nice hint of spice. Smells like tuberose green tea.

Malifiscent

I was expecting a pina colada vibe when I first heard of this one. It is not quite like pina colada, but tropical regardless. The top consists of a fizzy sweet pineapple and fruits with a hint of tang to balance the sweetness, followed by smooth, very lightly creamy undertones.

The creaminess is not gourmand or suntan lotion-y as you might imagine from the notes. It is more of an almost shampoo-like cream. This is actually something I like about it, because these coconut/creamy beachy scents could easily turn into a suntan lotion vibe, or become quite tacky. Tamarindo however, keeps the coconut and tuberose blend just balanced and faint enough to be a youthful yet well composed, sophisticated version of a tropical fragrance. If you're looking for a strong, heady coconut or tuberose, this is not it. The "creamy" notes- tuberose, coconut, vanilla and ylang ylang are all blended here quite softly to create that creamy shampoo-like consistency.

dcjimr

Kind of beachy, but in the most luxurious way possible. White florals, pineapple, coconut and patchouli are what I notice the most. I'm a bit addicted to it.

Renae Ta

Pineapple muddled with patchouli, vanilla and a slightly green coconut (benzoin?) in the background. Is a scent I've smelled before but cannot place which perfume - l see others have said coco mademoiselle. Could be just that.

ingeneuxo

-Opens with pineapple notes.
-Dries down to a weird scent, which is said to result from a mix of numerous floral notes.
-I would recommend getting your nose on Tamarindo- not because its wearable, or full-bottle worthy... but rather, to get a good reference for "weird white floral blend".
-Not fbw. (-)

ILikePeeps

I did indeed think of pineapple and something green. It's not bad, just kind of smells like...pineapple, plus shampoo or body wash or something.

Binchicken

For me this is sweet, warm, syrupy pineapple with all the acidity removed. Supporting the pineapple is a moist, lush nature smell I suppose provided by the patchouli note combined with the florals. Tropical paradise - not beachy- in a bottle. Quite linear on me. Decent sillage to begin with, got a compliment wearing this on a warm day. But the longevity on me is either no good, or I've become quickly anosmic? I thought Memo had a good reputation when it comes to longevity. Still hoping I can somehow solve this issue to justify buying a full bottle.

denisa_iv

Considering the name, I was expecting some citric/sour scent, but I guess they just wanted to make us think of a tropical vacation with their branding and bottle, not necessarily thinking of tamarind. It does remind me also of Coco Mademoiselle but with a note that is slightly fruitier from the pineapple and somewhat warm from the coconut, but also just a mustier on my skin, again, probably from the coconut. It's not as fresh as CM and not in a good way. Indeed slightly sweeter than the Chanel and for this reason it also reminds me of Angel. There's a honey note in Angel that I like, which strangely, is replicated here by the pineapple, probably. I also dislike that in the beginning I get a green note, maybe the cardamom mixed with everything else, but I perceive it almost as grass.

I heard that in the Middle East, Coco Mademoiselle is worn by men also. Maybe with the bottle and they were aiming even more to feel this feel unisex.

Miss koku

Kakule oldukça baskın oryantal bı ananas kokusu bence.iki cinstede gider ama kakule notasını ben erkekelere daha çok yakıştırıyorum

Miyami

that was a blind buy that i regret since it smells exactly like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle which i already own.

Edemay

Super fizzy pineapple to start off with, dries down smelling like it could be Chanel.
A very nice scent overall and isn't too sweet.
Notes I smell most: Patchouli and benzoin with a hint of citrus and fruit.

mellyv1973

Went to Paris for the first time in June. Tried this at a shop on the Champs Elysees. Couldn’t get it out of my head. It lasted so long & smelled so yummy. Bought it the next day at the Galaries de Lafayette. Tropical yet warm scent that transports me to an island in the Pacific. I have a sweet adult beverage in my hand as I lay in a lounge chair that sits in white sand. Sexy men & women with tanned skin walk by & I smell their tanning oil. I’m immersed in sun & relaxation. This is an absolutely indulgent gourmand without being cloying. Great for summer - day or night.

Tamarindo starts out with a really juicy orange note that is delicious and refreshing and if it stuck around then I would probably be buying a full bottle right now instead of writing a review. But the drydown is doing something weird--I went to sniff the spot where I sprayed and physically recoiled because something about it is so harsh in a way that I haven't experienced with a fragrance before. Like it's harsh in a way that I feel in my nose, but I don't know how else to explain it. I thought from the notes that I would love this because I don't see a single problematic note in the whole pyramid but for some reason this really doesn't work for me. Maybe it's the patchouli? Note: It does smell very similar to Nuits de Noho but I don't get this weird scratchiness from NdN.

wxmath

Received a sample and not bottle worthy for me. The scent was floral, minimal pineapple, and seemed much more feminine than I like. Performance average.

Q80

Sweet juicy tuberose.

Peache juice, squeezed orange, ylang, and pinacolada cocktail poured on tuberose and tinted jasmines. Ylang and lime are there too.

I wonder why the votes are voted incorrectly! The major notes are tuberose peaches then pineapples! Jasmines yes, orange yes, but patchouli, and cardamom are there! Maybe it is acting differently on plotter as I should apply it on my skin! But the votes are quite incorrect.

It's a nice blend for those who admire tropical fruits. Good.

This one is absolutely decadent! I get a rich, fleshy, pineapple creamsicle. It's like Hawaii in a bottle. I think it's unisex with a slight lean toward feminine. I love it! It's pretty linear, but that works for me. The only reason I'm not going for the full bottle is the price. $295 is a little steep, but if money's not an object, go for it!

When you read "oriental spicy' you can imagine something dark and mysterious. On the contrary Tamarindo is much more fresh-sweet-flowery-fruity type of scent. It's very pleasant, develops nicely but doesn't last long. I almost lost it's impression on my skin after 5 hours... It could be the perfect vacation fragrance, seriously, but it's definitely not the one for the serious evening affair, as one may have thought thinking of benzoin and patchouli. I like it though, very uplifting perfume, try it!

Luv this fragrance for myself ! I can envision me rocking this on the Las Vegas strip... having fun while hanging out w/ friends. I have to disagree w/ those who are saying it leans very feminine. I feel it’s unisex tho I will admit that this is a bit more versatile for a woman than a man. I think it’s the sweetness and the pineapple that’s pulling me in and not letting me go. The jasmine is not so pronounced on my skin. Its actually a little bit GREEN. I get a creamy sweet pineapple still hanging from its vine. The only things I don’t dont like about this is the performance. 4-6 hrs just doesn’t cut it. I can still detect it in a waft after that 4-6, but that’s just because it’s sitting on a piece of my clothing. It’s not one of those fragrances that partners with your skin and together they do something amazing. This babe works alone lol.

This is a well balanced pineapple-floral which leaves me with the feeling of being at a beautiful tropical resort in the late spring with flowers in full bloom. I love the citrus pineapple-jasmine opening. Over the next few hours it retains good projection with modest application. Vanilla, cardamom, and benzoin provide a creamy lushness to the fragrance. I do not pick up patchouli, but it may have been added to provide subtle depth and endurance.

Tamarindo is a mix between Chanel Coco Noir and Mugler's Angel. Absolutely lacking in originality. Very strong and intense like all Memo. Got it as a present and will be selling it.

When they called it Tamarindo it was not due of its tamarind content, but because of the town called Tamarindo on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

LOL, Tamarindo is not an ingredient :D
