Memoires de Mustique

easily overlooked, beautiful conjunction of neroli and petitgrain bolstered by background florals. slight peach skin facet in the dry down coming from the osmanthus and/or jasmine blending w/ the sweetness of the palette. I love it & have since I first smelled it way back in like 2019. this is unisex; if anything, a slight masculine lean that I feel mostly has to do with the historical masculine connotations associated w/ the scent profile. now lets get the elephant out the way: this is a 4711/TF NP/yougetthepoint scent profile done up with a liberal dose of hedione and a fairly conservative dose an amber molecule or two, maybe a lil bit of maltol/ethyl maltol, along w/ the aforementioned floral/peach facet. whatever the case is, its well constructed imo. if you already have a fragrance in this style that you're pleased with this is instantly redundant. if you don't, I think esp at discounter pricing this is a good option - but at optimal value this would be a warm weather signature or in heavy rotation. this smells like somebody who has a collection of linen shirts. this smells like somebody who orders an Arnold Palmer on a golf course. this smells like somebody who has almost everything registered in Delaware despite being a Virginia Beach resident of 15 years. this smells like John Mayer in a Sandals Resorts commercial.

Memoires de Mustique is a very pleasant & light summer scent, very fresh and uplifting, extremely versatile. Suitable for summer and spring, daytime. Totally unisex. The performance is moderate overall. At the opening there is a blast of fresh green bergamot, petitgrain and swithish orange blossom with some woodiness at the background. After that comes to the surface a beautiful neroli note. The osmanthus stays forever at the background supporting the whole blend giving its characteristic marvelous smell on the contrary with the citrusy/lemonish vibe of the scent. Jasmine is here but subtle. Never comes as a leading note. And also there's a wonderful mild white musk which blends perfectly with the rest citrusy-floral notes. Memoires de Mustique is a very pleasant scent for hot weather but quite overpriced for its performance. If money is not a problem, this is very good scent. This is not a new smell. One similar scent that came to my mind is Giuseppe by Naso Di Raza house.

Ce parfum est très intéressant. Je l’ai senti une première fois et je n’ai pas vraiment adhéré. Une deuxième tentative m’a convaincu à lui donner une chance et j’ai bien fait. C'est un parfum assez unique qui ne ressemble à rien d’autre dans ma collection. Il se développe après un certain temps sur la peau ce qui peut fausser une première impression moins convaincante. Ce parfum incarné la chaleur des caraïbes, les odeurs d’une ballade dans une végétation luxuriante fleurie. Je le classe unisexe tendance légèrement masculine, mais c’est un vrai unisexe.

This one is fantastic!!!!! It gives me something semi nostalgic and makes me remember a scent from a comfortable place in the 90’s. Not that it smells like a fragrance from back then, it just gives me that kind of vibe, and transports my mind to something very enjoyable and smooth. It feels like one of those scents that instantly just fits in its own groove and has nothing to prove. It just works. Very nice one from the house, keeps me sniffing myself constantly.

I sampled this through their sample set and I love this! The opening is quite similar to neroli portofino to me, which I also love. But this is smoother, the citrus isn't as sharp. I just don't have neroli portofino because of the fact that it doesn't perform well for how much it costs. This, though is cheaper (100ml is around 100 euros) so might be worth it to buy a full bottle for me. For me this is quite a good attempt at the 'perfect summer day scent: 9.3/10
