About Reminiscence Patchouli

Reminiscence Patchouli Perfume by Reminiscence is a captivating fragrance that pays homage to the timeless allure of patchouli. This fragrance was launched in 1970 by the renowned French perfumer Reminiscence and it detains the spirit of the bohemian and the elegance of the period, thus it has been surviving more still than ever. This perfume is a token of the place and time that it inspired, the beautiful and mysterious Eastern lands, with you of course far away from the ordinary daily life.

Fragrance Family:

Woody and Oriental

Scent Type:

Earthy, deep, sophisticated

Notes:

Reminiscence Patchouli opens with a harmonious blend of warm, earthy patchouli, immediately enveloping the senses with its rich, deep aroma. It will be a wave of the full- and deep-bodied note of the earthy patchouli aroma. The heart on the other hand is accompanied by hints of flowers that soften the impact of these deep notes and thus achieve a nice balance between the two. But eventually, the base of the fragrance is formed by the soft notes of vanilla, musk, and balsam that give a warm embrace of these elements. The strong base notes make the scent feel unbelievably sensual and comforting, which is why it leaves a very appealing trail behind.

Suggested Use

To experience the full depth of Reminiscence Patchouli Perfume, apply it to your pulse points, such as the wrists, inside the elbows, and behind the ears. The warmth of these areas will enhance the rich, woody aromas and help the fragrance evolve beautifully throughout the day. Perfect for evening wear or a casual day out, it is a versatile scent that lends an air of sophistication and allure in any setting.

Hey there, everyone, Nicole here. And today, I'll be reviewing Patchouli by Reminiscence. This scent intends to capture the aesthetics of the 1970s and that period's interest in Eastern-inspired and hippieish living, and I think it succeeds really well in that. Patchouli, of course, dominates the scent, supported by strong notes of laudanum, vanilla, tonka, and tolu balsam, as well as lighter notes of sandalwood, cedar, vetiver, and musk. The bottle is sturdily constructed too, and it comes in a 6.8-ounce bottle if you want to stock up on this long-lasting powerful scent. Well, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this review.

It starts off pungent i have to say. The raw patchouly is too attacking. But once it settles, youll be amazed how good this is. Very warm and embracing, just like sitting in front of fireplace. This perfume exudes class and far different from ordinary mainstream nowadays. If you want to smell

Old used sample

Way overpriced for a tiny sample! And the bottle was damaged and half full. Like an old sample from trash. Usually samples are free. Very disappointed by the customer service.

Love it!!

I love this patchouli perfume. The patchouli is not too strong, just right. Some patchouli smells like bug spray, this does not smell that way. I liked enough to buy a handful of samples and gave to my friends.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

If you enjoy Patchouli, this a no brainer. For the price, this measures with the best. I mean top 3. I have Jovoy Psychodelique, TF patchouli absolu and few others, all of which are way more expensive. But this rivals them all in terns of scent, price and complexity. This is a GEM.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

A Classic "Reference" Patchouli

This particular patchouli has a deep, resinous, chocolate cake-like accord that is intoxicating. For this "Patch Ho," there is none better than Reminiscence for patchouli.
