Remi

I’m usually not a fan of citrus fragrances since most of them lean sharp and remind me of bathroom cleaners. So when I heard about a “fall citrus” with an amber dry down, I was instantly intrigued. After getting a 2 ml sample with an order, I became obsessed. I was literally smelling the clothes I had sprayed every day for a week before finally giving in and buying a full bottle. On first spray, it opens with a bright citrus burst layered with a soft herbal nuance. There’s a creamy white amber and musk in the background that grounds everything, giving it a smooth, cozy depth. The balance is what really stands out: fresh, but never screechy. Instead, it feels calm, warm, and almost zen-like. I’ve worn it in every season, and while it surprisingly works year-round (even as a summer alternative to typical citrus scents), it really shines in the fall. It gives me this nostalgic feeling, like an early autumn morning where the sun is still warm, the air is crisp, and the leaves are just starting to turn. It reminds me of walking through a green garden, with hints of freshly peeled orange zest lingering in the air. One interesting note: I never picked up on the cannabis accord until I accidentally oversprayed one day. Even then, it was subtle, just adding a slightly earthy edge to the composition.

I recently got back into perfumes and specifically more clean / non-toxic brands and with that came my discovery of and obsession with by Rosie Jane as a brand. Remi was a blind buy for me as soon as it came out, and luckily it was a win. I was surprised they launched a mandarin oriented scent in the fall, but I see why after using it because there's a warmth to it that feels different from other sharper citrus oriented scents. I actually find their ad campaign content and even the brand founder to embody the fragrance quite well in my eyes - it gives me the aura of someone who is sophisticated but casual and very comfortable in their own skin lounging in their beautiful home or in the warmth of the sun but during a drier or more transitional season. I've also recently been combining it with Dulce by Rosie Jane and the combo is delicious. An all around new staple for me that's great for everyday wear.

I still love it. But, after a few months of wear, I have some notes. First of all I was 100% right, this is an absolute banger in the summer heat. So good. Almost a niche take on a blue with these really bitter elements. I really do think this leans more masculine and I think BRJ would be smart to advertise it to men. I've definitely been recommending it on men's frag subreddits and I've put a few guys onto it. But the performance leaves a lot to be desired. You will need a travel atomizer of this to wear it to work unfortunately. It sits very close to skin (which I actually personally really like, I don't want what I'm wearing to announce me before I walk into a room). I get absolutely no cannabis. I've asked my dad and my sister to give it a sniff and neither of them pick it up either. It's just refreshingly bitter citrus and green tea sorta notes. Very clean.

Remi by Rosie Jane is easily one of my favourite scents I’ve tried from the brand. It kicks off with a super bitter, zesty citrus, very sharp in the best way, not sweet and definitely not boring. From the first spray, it feels properly unisex, sitting right in that perfect gender neutral middle spot. It’s fresh and lively without screaming “kitchen cleaner,” which I truly appreciate. As it dries down, soft herbal and floral notes sneak in and give it a bit more personality and depth than most Rosie Jane perfumes. Nothing loud, just quietly cool. Longevity is pretty decent for a fresh scent, and the sillage is just enough to get noticed without trying too hard. Overall, Remi feels effortless, modern, and very easy to love, a low key standout from the brand and one I keep reaching for way more than expected.

The people saying this is "dirty" or "hippy" are out of their minds. This is one of the cleanest, freshest things I've ever smelled. Smells a TON like Boy Smells' Citrush. The weed smell doesn't really come out that strong on me personally. I bought a full bottle of this, I liked it that much. It's kind of a "blue" to me, except it plays it just a little less safe with those bitter rind elements. Kicks the shit out of Sauvage and other shower gel frags. What's even crazier to me is the fact that people don't think this is a summer fragrance. This is gonna go hard when it's hot out. There's no way in hell this works as well as a cold weather wear.
