Rem Reminiscence for women and men

I LOVE it... my trendy parisian friend wears it and it is indeed absolutely unforgettable. I live in the US but on the following trip home I looked for it, found it and the first smell out of the bottle nearly made me nauseous. The thing smelled AWFUL.
Disappointed but stubborn, I bought it anyway and started to wear it too.

Indeed you cant overdo this thing or you will smell like the beach after a tsunami, but if you use it in moderation, this fragrance is the most unusual, sensuous, intoxicating, memorable, refined and addicting you can possibly find.

Now back in the US, women stop me at the grocery store and ask me what my fragrance is (like I'm going to tell me...). Multiple times I get the usual compliment on my perfume from perfect strangers - males and females - in the office.

My bottle is almost empty, and I am frantically looking for a reseller in the US...

Help!

I admit it is really an original scent, though Comptoir Sud Pacific Aqua Motu smells just the same and was created 3 years before Rem.

Yes, it does smell of sea, sex and sun; and yes, it is fresh and warm at the same time. Original and fun it is, refined it is not. Not that that is a bad thing ;-)

Rem is one of those "cult" fragrances. Like you have your Aromatics Elixir addicts and your Angel addicts, you have your Rem addicts. Those that have been truly bitten can't wear anything else. Though I have a colleague that loves both Angel and Rem (and from reading reviews, I learned she is not the only one). Like most addicts she can't smell herself and therefor oversprays. I literally know she has entered the building even before I can actually see her.

So, please addicts, don't over do it. Thank you <3

Very interesting! I have to say the first spray of this actually repulsed me...it seemed very sharp and intensely bitter. Once it had settled on my skin a bit, I found myself sniffing my wrist over and over again.

This does have some notes that are a bit sharp, but it seems to work. This scent evokes the ocean, but in a less typical way than aquatic scents usually do. It has a marine scent, which I would describe as a bitter, earthy ocean scent. The notes that come out on me are florals, a bitter walnut-like note, and some creamy, earthy musk.

Rem is quite an unusual scent...in a very good way!

This is love at first smell!

I went into a shop because I wanted to buy a bracelet i noticed in the window.
They also sold perfumes in that shop, from Reminiscence.
I dont know why, but I just reached out to Rem's bottle.

It is the ocean, the summer, freedom, happines, being impressed, being emotional, all of this in one scent.

For me, its a treasure, a wonderful discovery!

Not a heavy warm scent that keeps on you for hours and hours, but tiny little drops of energy.

I would say, try it out!!!

A wonderful scent...if you don't want to pass unnoticed! :-)
It's my favourite perfume!

A friend of mine wears this perfume and she smells like a sea-goddess. It suits her personality and her skin so wonderfully. I just love that smell on her. My sister was looking for a ''sea-water-scent'', i guess there is nothing better then Rem what would remind you of the beach and sea. And look at the color of this pretty bottle - Neptune himself would adore it too, i'm sure.

Great scent, it reminds me of summer, sea and beach. I like it a lot.

This is a very different scent. I don't know if I could call it a summer scent though. I smell some vanilla in it, very powerful stuff!!!

Guest Keks. You can buy this one in Holland in shops, but there are also dutch perfume websites that sell this perfume. But I don't know where you are from. But if you can get a bottle of this, I would definitly buy it, it is such a lovely, fun, summer, beach fragrance. When I had this one, everybody would ask me what I was wearing. But I never told them and hold this lovely secret to myself. I don't see any coconut in the notes, but I still believe there is a little bit of coconut hidden in this treasure

Oh My!!!! And some sniffing I did!! This frag is THE frag I've been yearning for!!

It is a little like 'L'eau de Montagne' from (I think) Lancaster which was on the market for only half a year or so. And 'nothing compares to you' was what I sang to the memory of that scent ever since...
But now I've found it's 'reïncarnation' and I am overjoyed!!!
Smelled the 'do re - mi fa - so la - ti do - tune' also..(-:, liked the one with the coconut in it (at least - it smells like coconut but it's not mentioned, might be pine that is responsible for that 'Pinacolada' kind of thing), but REM will definitely be my life-long companion if it is up to me!

To describe this scent let me tell you that I live not too far from the beach (in the Netherlands) to smell the sea, mixed with sun-tanningcream and with all that's going on there, when the wind spreads it's remains over the city in the evening. Such a wonderful kind of scent that does make you reminisce indeed!!

I am a 'reminiscing kind of girl' and this purchase makes me wonder if I'll ever be on earth again...(-:

Thanks to this site and it's visitors by the way, for I would have never found out about Rem(iniscence)if I had not discovered Fragrantica!

So thank you guys!!!!

Wow..when reading the reviews, I surfed the Internet to find out if this scent and/or other scents of Reminiscence is/are available in the Netherlands...
Guess what: There's a shop in my home town where they sell Reminiscence!
Tomorrow is my day off...this will be a day of sniffing...
So I might update (p)review later...(-:

Guest Wallie and sophywt you guys are so great in describing this perfume!!! That is excatly how it smells like:):)
Unfortunately they do not sell it in my country and amazon wont ship it:(
Enjoy the smell for me:)

The summer night near the sea closed in small blue bottle. I love this one

Acqua Motu by Comptoir sud pacifique has the same fragrance

Acorrding to Nowsmellthis, www.yosmiami.com sell full bottel Reminiscence. If you want some decant to try, theperfumedcourt.com is a nice site.

Hi. I'd like to know if anyone knows where I can purchase this perfume from? I have checked all different websites online & can't find it. I live in America.

Thank you.

wow! I love REM!!!
Great gourmand scent for summer!

The openning is a blast of fresh marine notes, and the fresh feeling lasts, hanging over the foody heart notes.
It's not acturally floral, no, there is much more creamy gourmand than floral. But unlike the famous Angel, REM's foody/dessert notes are very light, even transparent.

What amazes me is, how they managed to match these totally oppersite characters into a harmony.

This is 'the beach sent'

I had this one and it smells a bit like suntanning cream, but in a very classy way.

It is very nice.
