Mandarine Fraîche

7.1

Réminiscence · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Réminiscence Mandarine Fraîche opens with pink pepper, green mandarin orange zest and lime zest, a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that has been discontinued. Citrus leads at the start, with pink pepper adding a slight edge to the zest. In the heart, vervain and white tea move it towards a clean, floral line, and iris with white musk softens the base. There is a fruity, lightly sweet tone too, but the fresh character never steps back. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters choose it mostly for daily wear and leisure, with business settings among the leading picks. It sits comfortably on men and women alike and stays understated.

Le Patchouli (Eau de Toilette Intense)

8.1

Réminiscence · 2024

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Réminiscence Le Patchouli (Eau de Toilette Intense) is a sweet, woody and resinous unisex scent that softens patchouli with vanilla and balsamic tones. Cedarwood and patchouli come first, and in the heart sandalwood and vetiver build a dry, earthy base. Vanilla, tonka bean, tolu balm and labdanum sweeten the drydown, while white musk wraps that warmth in a powdery softness. A spicy, oriental touch stays in the background. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though both ratings rest on few votes. Voters lean towards evening, leisure and nights out, and the office is clearly the weakest fit. Réminiscence Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) and Réminiscence L'Incroyable Patchouli have a close profile.

Oriental Dream

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Réminiscence Oriental Dream is a discontinued unisex perfume with a sweet, spicy and smoky oriental character.

The base of sandalwood, oud and amber dries down woody and sweet. A synthetic edge runs through the accords too. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the votes are few, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It suits people who want a dense, spiced scent that sits comfortably on either men or women. Collistar L'Ambra and Montale Amber & Spices have a close profile.

Réminiscence · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Green

Réminiscence Sous un Mimosa de Provence is a unisex fragrance that pairs a fresh, green floral character with a powdery, woody sweetness.

The base of musk, vanilla and sandalwood settles into a soft, powdery woodiness. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room.
