The first thing that I smell is tiare flower and it stays that way for 12 hours with a little bit of pear. A very heavy sent. The first time that I tried this was 5 years ago and I was impressed because I smelled a lot of pear in it. Now, it can be me, I smell almost nothing else but tiare flower.

Immediately after I blind-bought the bottle it felt overpoweringly white floral. A heady tuberose, sweet, strong and almost headache inducing. Couldn't wear it. So the bottle spent a year in storage. When I tried it again it was a totally different perfume. The tuberose start remains, but pimento comes through almost immediately and takes charge. It gives the composition a sour spiciness. Combined with white flowers the overall effect is quite weird, and really unique. Not unpleasant, but something about it irritates my nose.

Opens very very sweet. A sweet candy-like lemon, pear, a bit of bergamot and tuberose. Then iris, a dusty vanilla with pear, still very sweet, with some sunny indoles in the background. Then the pimento becomes stronger and balances the sweetness. The drydown is soft and becomes a bit more sour with a vanilla-tiaré note, on a dusty woody base. Longevity and sillage are moderate on me. Very intriguing scent, extremely sweet but not a gourmand. Strangely appealing.

Tried this yesteday in the shop. On me the tuberose is instant and overpowering. It's tempered slightly with the pear. I notice no citrus whch frankly this scent needs to gain some relief from the tuberose. Then it lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts. Not one to buy for me.

Another disappointment from Memo. Screaming for attention pear with some tuberose in the background. I also get this "boozy" feeling from it, like from other Memo perfumes, so strange. Super powerful, great staying power - I couldn't wash it off. Love their bottles though
