Sample 4 – Discovery Set
The openning on this one is great. The white floral, petitgrain starts to slowly move away under 1 hour.
What you are left with is Woody not dry wood. If you are chopping down a live tree. This is soapy as well not like eight and bob original.
Again, Another one I cannot recommend a purchase. Will be skipping this one. There are too many good ones out there.
JV Artisan pure, TF Neroli, Ferrari Bright Neroli etc…
Careful as these dont last long.

Memoires de Mustique is the freshest, most agreeable offering from Eight & Bob that I’ve yet tried, but it’s also the least provocative, deep, and interesting.
It’s mainly a mix of the orange plant notes at the top (neroli, orange blossom, petitgrain)–and it’s true that I more or less get a bit of each, probably a little less orange blossom than the other two–which dries down to a musky woody resting place within the first couple of hours. Jasmine, woods, amber, and musk provide an agreeable, balanced base.
Performance is a notch below the others from Eight & Bob that I’ve tried so far, which, at $175 for 100ml, when compounded with its lack of flair, makes Memoires de Mustique an especially difficult sell. Still, it’s pleasant, and I’d certainly wear it a lot if I owned a bottle; I just regard a cheaper alternative like John Varvatos Artisan Pure or Dior Homme Cologne as more viable.
Very nice, but probably a bit pricey for what it is.
7 out of 10

I’m agreeing that orange leaf, neroli, and musk are the primary scents. I’m actually getting some orange zest and jasmine stronger than orange blossom, but I love florals that are really earthy green scents and this fits that perfectly.

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.

If you are a love of white florals (which I’m not) this could be a fringe alternative to look at. For me the loudest shouting white flower in there was Orange blossom, closely followed by neroli and maybe some jasmine, because out of the lot I do quite like jasmine and that both sweetened and classed up the proceedings. Petitgrain and bergamot are the perfect top notes and persist well on top of the base but not a combination we’ve never seen before. Eight and Bob’s expanding range of fragrances are all perfectly well and good but not a one to date has made me take notice. This is no exception and although white floral/citrus is almost the perfect universal unisex ‘thing’ you could imagine….I still find it more feminine leaning. Having said that my girlfriend hated this one.

Guess I’m alone in the love I have for this fragrance,found it almost a year ago in a small boutique & it was the one that spoke to me the most,yes I am a Neroli lover & to me this is as good as they come & can compete with any others in the same category.Guess that means more for me!

There gotta be something wrong with their sample sets. I get two samples of this from two reliable sources, and both smell, consistently, rusty, fishy(literally), and with an unmistakably Chinese sauerkraut tone. Perhaps the base is different, but I don’t have the stomach to wait for the dry-down.

All I really smell from Memoires de Mustique is petitgrain. I usually sort of like the scent of freshly crushed orange tree leaves, but not enough that I would want to smell like them.

Personally, I find this to be kinda ho-hum but i can’t deny that it’s a lil something something to get your summer started. This is a fragrance worth checking out only if L’eau des Hesperides didn’t exist. The hardest fragrances to review are the ones where the notes are evenly laced. Depending on your sensory cells, one could deduce this as being a floral scent or perhaps a not so green, green. The bergamot note shows up but never shows out leaving more to be desired in that citrus department. The most frustrating thing about Mustique is not the smell but to some degree the longevity…and this is why they’ve created fragrance primers. I waited around for the woody components but as the fragrance was fleeting, I realized that the aforementioned note was a theory instead of something that i would actualize. If you’re a Bob guy, then ignore what i’m saying and check it out. You might find comfort in wearing this if sprayed on clothing.
