Melodie de Orientica Orientica Premium for women

Writing my second review after owning this perfume for 8 months:
This is obviously an excellent dupe of Sintra however I must say this one stays green and fresh spicy for longer. It smells fresh and citrusy for the first two hours almost, however the dry down is heavenly. It’s so delicious and candy like that it almost doesn’t smell like a perfume. If you didn’t know this was a perfume you would assume somebody opened a fresh bag of marshmallows near you and you got that delicious whiff of sugary soft sweetness.
The fragrance stays strong for quite long, I remember spraying myself with this an hout before going to sleep and in the morning after like 8-9 hours of sleep I could still smell it, it’s especially long lasting on clothes.
This however is not a cheap dupe. The original is extremly expensive in my opinion but this ain’t exactly affordable either. It usually sells for around 90-100€ but I got it in sale for less. I think it was well worth the money.

A bit sharp at first, after about 6 minutes this perfume becomes really delicious, irresistible and sexy.

Located in US. If anyone wants to sell their partial or bottle, please shoot me a message! Would prefer a high partial, or at least half full minimum. Just want the price to be fair.

Just received this beauty in the mail today secondhand, so she had already macerated. I didn't like it upon initial spray since I have a love/hate skewing hate with neroli, but the marshmallow accord begged me to wait. After dry downs, this is a creamy neroli musk. I smell no spices whatsoever, so this must be well-blended OR it's just that my skin doesn't reflect all the notes in a perfume; I have noticed that many perfumes are extremely linear on me and I often can't smell accords that you would think are heavy-hitters. Or my nose is simply not refined. Anyway, upon drydown, she's a gorgeous scent, I wished it lasted longer, but my skin eats perfume so I'm used to it.

I expected something harsh in the opening and very green based on reviews, but I smell a soft, fresh, lovely summer floral. At least to me it smells like a floral garden in warm soft afternoon sun. I get sun oil vibes, it reminds me of Monoï by Yves Rocher. I feel it is inoffensive and comforting, “huggable”. Suitable for everything except evening formal, it would get lost in the sea of ouds, roses and whatever strong juices people spray. I imagine a put together lady dressed in pale pink. I like it! It is a no-brainer.

Top fragrance of all time for me right here besides Poison & Fakhar. Out of all the inspired dupes I've tried..I love this one the best..orange and green notes at the top mixed with fluffy fuzzy marshmallows and because of the green petitgrain notes added to this fragrance it makes it stronger, more interesting and enjoyable the way I love fragrances to be. Not for the faint of heart. You gotta love green leafy notes along with sweet gourmand notes. But this is beautifully blended. This is a performer..lasts minimum 4-5 hours. I was smelling it all day even until the next day on clothes. My top favorite right now for presentation, packaging, and quality of scent and performance. In comparison it smells like the most delicious orange, grape fluffy cotton candy one can engulf themself with. If you love green notes this is just so beautiful. Since I love Chanel 19, Poudre, Iris dragee and Prada's Infusion de Iris I knew I was going to love this. When your driving around with the wind hitting you all you get is wafts of this fragrance.

It is Oriana, Killian LDBS & Sintra all in one. Outstanding fragrance! Highly recommend. I'm going to eventually buy a back-up I love it that much. I'm also going to use up all my other LDBS/Oriana dupes and just buy this one for now on until I can afford to get Sintra. Packaging and bottle are top notch and my favorite colors in teal and very artistic looking. Box is equally good for the price. Orientica line is a top notch line worth trying!

Opening is really rough honestly, but the drydown is sublime and creamy. I love.

Out of all,
LDBS, Oriana, Ansaam Gold, Barbie Zara and all the smell-a-like perfumes I've tried, this is the one for me and now that people say Sintra is even greener, I want it too.
A love 😍

Love, Love, Love! This is so nice, this smells like a greener version of LDBS!! I haven’t smelled Sintra yet so I can’t comment on the similarities there.

This truly is beautiful especially in the dry down.
You can smell the marshmallows and orange blossom while it still retains the greenness that you get from the beginning from the neroli and petit grain.

The packaging and presentation of the bottle is also fabulous!! ❤️

A new favorite!
Killian's Love Don't Be Shy is just okay to me, and I had never tried Sintra, but I do love white florals. So I blind bought Melodie, and it paid off!
What a divine scent. It's one I will repurchase again and again.
I get compliments every time I wear it, and the lasting power! I can brush my hair days after I've worn Melodie and still get wafts of it.
10/10 !

Melodie is such a yummy marshmallow fragrance. It isn't sickly sweet or light and fluffy, though. It's grounded and sophisticated -- I think thanks to the cardamon.

You could get away with wearing this any time of year, day or night. It's not a sexy fragrance, but it's pretty. Very unapologetically feminine.

The first few days I wore Melodie, the projection was intense -- I sprayed it twice on paper and it filled the room for the whole day. After a week of wearing it, I can hardly pick it up -- so be cautious of getting anosmic to it fairly quickly.

I haven't experienced Sintra or Love Don't Be Shy, so I can't comment on the similarity, but it's a wonderful fragrance in its own right. The bottle and package are absolutely beautiful. It would make a wonderful gift if you know someone keen on gourmands.

This is pretty much identical to Sintra. So much so that I don’t feel the need to own both.

I bought this two weeks after blind buying Sintra by Memo.
I love Sintra so I wanted something that smells the same but for a lower price.
This smells 98% like Sintra. The opening is pretty much the same, sharp, green and citrusy but the dry down is slightly different.
Melodie lacks a few notes in Sintra; resins, milk, cedar and added praline notes instead of the caramel in Sintra at the base notes.
The dry down in Melodie is very sweet and candy like while Sintra’s dry down is a bit more musky lactonic.
All in all Melodie de Orientica is an EXCELLENT dupe for Sintra and I’m glad I can overspray this with less worry because now I basically have 150 ml of Sintra lol.
If I had a chance to smell Sintra before buying the original I’d definitely just buy Orientica.

I just can’t with this, not even sure the mix of what this makes me sick.
I’m currently selling it.

a spicier, deeper version of LDBS. the cinnamon/spiciness makes everything a little less linear than it could be; it switches up the monotone sweetness from the marshmallow. I personally have an intense aversion to spices in fragrance, but I have really grown to like how it's done here. I can't vouch for its similarities to Memo Sintra, but I DO understand the comparisons to LDBS. longevity/sillage are amazing for what it's worth, if you're looking for something with that same sugary-sweet scent profile at a fraction of the cost, this is it.

*UPDATE*
I went grocery shopping and the lady at the checkout said I smelled amazing and asked me to write the name down of the perfume!.
I was gifted a few perfumes from the Orientica line and this is my favourite by far!. When you first spray you get hit in the face with Orange Bloosom but then it settles beautifully and the combination of Rose and Marshmallow comes through. I quite like it!.

Close enough to Sintra that I don’t feel the need to own a FB of Sintra now, and the sillage and longevity is better, honestly.

My other perfumehead friend (who’s pretty bougie) loved this so much she jokingly tried to steal my bottle. It’s that good.

Currently, I’ve sprayed Sintra on one arm and Melodie on the other.

You can definitely tell the difference in quality.

Melodie comes across like peppermint bubble gum | Rootbeer with powdery dry down

Sintra comes across like a crisp greener version that doesn’t smell cheap.

However Sintra has had almost two years to develop whereas Melodie just got delivered in the cold so I will come back with another review but for now I’m not vibing with Melodie. She gives me heartburn.

Sorry guys!

Both heavy on the orange blossom and sweetness!

I purchased Melodie de Orientica before having tried Sintra or Oriana, and have since received samples of both. I would say it is closer to Oriana than Sintra (Sintra is a little sharper and spicier). And LDBS is similar to Oriana, so it also has a simiar vibe to Melodie. All three have prominent orange flower and marshmallow scents.

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this, and when I did... I got smacked in the face with a strong green LDBS. I knew it was coming but I was still taken aback. I didn't know how I felt about it at first. So, I sprayed some on and went about my day in the house. I got a compliment from my husband; I was surprised because he hates LDBS- I usually get negative comments from him when I wear that. This on the other hand he absolutely loved! He said the whole house is filled with it even before I came downstairs. Needless to say, it's a BEAST of a fragrance and I only did 4-5 sprays.

I have never tried Sintra, but I did notice the note structure is almost exactly the same. Its thicker and denser than LDBS and projects and last forever even on skin- that was surprising to me on the back of my hand it lasted 8-10 hours. thankfully the petitgrain doesn't last too long- all of 10 minutes and its gone. the blooms the beauty. This will choke you out so go easy on the trigger and maybe save it for the cold seasons.

Just a little update: I sold my bottle because it was too strong it choked me out every time, I wore it. I don't know I guess I'm a wuss I couldn't handle it and I love heavy hitters but this one hit too hard and cut off my oxygen supply. It's been 4 months since I decluttered, and I don't regret it. I still have LDBS and Oriana and I love those. I guess it was that thickness and denseness in the air. As beautiful as it was, I prefer more airy perfumes.
