Remember Me

big lilac sweaters to be worn in the garden on a windy evening while watching the english countryside. a child with a puffy dress, their laughter filling a room. late night conversations with your lover, planning a future together, holding hands on the sofa. your grandmother's bedroom, with a big mirror and dust-pink sheets. a massive bouquet of flowers sitting on the counter, wilting a bit, in an old vase. this is the most evocative perfume i've ever smelled: it opens slightly fresh (i don't get citrus per se, but i do get some lemon-tea and wood notes), but it melts into a spiced milk (not latte, not chai tea, just true, lactonic milk) that i can't get out of my nose. i have a small decant that i treasure deeply, and even then, the scent is so unique it sometimes comes to me suddenly in the middle of the day. i truly think it's a one of a kind scent, definitely winter-y (i truly cannot see myself wearing this on the summer and spring). it smells like a comforting cup of spiced milk, clean kitten fur, a baby's head, and your mother's most tender hug where you just can't seem to let go. it's so comforting it brings me to tears, genuinely. the sillage isn't too strong, reserved only for those who are allowed to kiss your cheeks, but it lasts for quite a bit. it might be a bit too mature to some, but i personally don't really mind this being a more grown-up scent (and also, i think it's suitable for a wide range of ages!). this perfume is lovely and a bit sad, the same way memories of your winter holidays when you were little are. or maybe it's because it reminds me of my mother too much, who knows. overall, lovely, truly beautiful scent. not everyone's cup of tea, but absolutely moving and lovesome for some people. i definitely can't stop thinking about it, and i can't wait for the colder months to get my hands on a full bottle.

Update after a year: idk why I said this wasn't gourmand lol. It's still a gourmand, just not as heavy, doesn't have notes like buttercream, meringue, caramel, etc. review from 11.04.24: I love this milky vanilla, of course, nothing else smells like this in my collection. Sweet, true vanilla in the mix, no heavy woods or almonds or heavy food notes causing this to go sickly gourmand. sweet tea notes and ginger notes with vanilla. If you like Princess by Kilian, you’ll like this: but they are not dupes!!!! I have and love both. Princess has more tea, and of course it has marshmallow and this is instead milk & vanilla. That said I try to always test before buying these days so I tested this on paper. It smells different on my skin after buying but I like the surprise this time, luckily 😂 I find Princess a little cloying and this one more interesting, I don’t think they’re similar, because the ginger and vanilla somehow separate the two perfumes a lot for me. I smell a slight similarity with the tea note. Would like to add that same as another reviewer below said, when sprayed in the inner bend/crook of the elbow in warm weather it has a very particular smell, it’s interesting but I don’t dislike it. And according to that reviewer caused by the ginger note.

As a chai lover, I adore a good, authentic chai-inspired scent. Jaipur Chant from Ineke is wonderful, but goes a bit strange in the dry down for me (but I still love and pine for it). When I first sampled Remember Me, I was absolutely enchanted by the sweet, milky, cardamom notes with a touch of ginger that wraps around you like a cozy sweater, lingering for hours and hours. It's captivating!! I don't pick up the floral notes at all, personally, but of the various Chai scents I've tried over the years, this one smells the most authentic to me and will be an absolute fall/ winter staple in my collection. I can't imagine wearing this one in warm weather, but we'll see. And funny layering story - I had a little bit of Remember Me in sample form to finish off, as well as a small remainder of a Bal d'Afrique sample. I put Bal d'Afrique on one arm, Remember Me on the other, simply to finish off the samples - but I'm unexpectedly loving how these two combine! Both of these scents have a childlike quality --- the milkiness in Remember Me swirling around with the floral, citrusy innocent freshness of Bal d'Afrique = match made in heaven!!

Gorgeous aromatic vanilla with some yellow florals and a lactonic vibe. I adore this combination! It is so unique, comforting, and relaxing. 💚 At first spray, you get a blast of bergamot, ginger, and cardamom. I know this sounds like a sharp combination but it is actually very well blended. Once it dries down, the most gorgeous tea, vanilla and milk notes start to shine through. This smells like a green tea latte infused with vanilla and frangipani. Also, this gets sweeter and sweeter once it starts drying down. I actually love the dry down more than the opening. 🥛🍵🫚🌼 This is comparable to Kilian princess, but they are not dupes. I adore them both, but Remember me is less sweet and smells more unique and sophisticated. In saying so, if you love princess, I think this is worth a shot because they are in the same green tea latte family of fragrances. Overall, this is a huge love for me and the projection and longevity is beast mode! I can smell it all day long. If you love aromatic vanillas you will adore this one🍦🍃

Blind buy... and initial disappointment. I'd wanted it to be more milky sweet softness. But it was tingly smooth spiciness... cardamom and tea rich, with a subtle background of clean scalded milk. Once I decided to give it more of a try, it only took a wear or two for deep love to develop. It has become one of my most worn and favorite fragrances. Ingredients smell real and warm. No chemical factory looming in the background. Soothing scent. If my nerves are rattled, if the day (week) is turning into a beast, this is what I wear. If I anticipate awkward social situations - Remember Me is the perfume to see me through. For me, this is not a sexy night out fragrance, or light spring day fragrance. More of a centering moment right on my wrist. A calming influence I can connect to with a shift from intellect to sensual awareness. This is the keenest example in my collection of something I would have discounted upon one sniff, but find so much to adore within it given a day or two of wearing in the 'wild'.

Remember Me has a milky chalk like feel. I find it dry aromatic and powdery without smelling like baby powder. In the opening it's a soft spicey cardamom, bright citrus and there's a brief minty note. It's been described as a chai tea scent and yes I agree. It is probably the holy grail I've been searching for when it comes to powdery cosmetic scents. Kinda smells like CoverGirl pressed powder but not mentholated if that makes sense although not a dead ringer either. Honestly, I didn't think much of it when I first tried it. It reminded me of Dior Homme Intense but the more I wear it the more it's nuances change. I can pick up the milk, tea and frangipani. In the dry down it settles into a gorgeous powdery vanilla with wisps of ginger that lasts for hours. It doesn't project much past elbows length after 1st hour however it sticks to textiles and you will linger on the person you just hugged. Longevity is an easy 8 to 10 hours. It's quite magnificent and I can't quit wearing it.

Oh my, what a gorgeous scent. Now, I prefer cardamom, tea, wood and citrus notes in fragrances, so Remember me is just a perfect combo for me. It opens with a clean, fresh, slightly spicy citrus note, eventually drying down to a soft, creamy tea. It's like a warm cup of bergamot tea with a touch of milk, very comforting and cozy. It's not too sweet, nor spices here are sharp, while citrus is not screechy, with milk not being too overpowering. It's well balanced, calming and beautiful. However, I understand why some people may find it cloying or too powdery, because after 6-7 hours on my skin it turns a bit sour and old lady-like. But in my case this has to do with my skin pH, as many fragrances tend to go that direction after a couple of hours of wearing them, especially the ones with a lactonic accord. It's a perfect scent for an everyday wear, definitely not that strong to announce your presence to the whole office, but to keep you in your own cozy bubble. Love it.

Absolutely beautiful perfume, such a gem! I've been sampling a lot of perfumes lately, and was vastly underwhelmed until I smelled this one. So unique and takes you on a creative journey! I love the opening, spicy and citrusy, lovely blend of cardamom and bergamot and the milk already shines through, making the spiciness just how I like it. It radiates warmth, the ginger and the tea comes in, but it's a ginger tea with foamed vanilla milk, with a slice of cake that you're eating in a cafe next to the window while it's raining outside. I'm picky when it comes to "comfy scents" because it's rare to find ones that both relax you and energize, uplift you at the same time. This is the case here. The citrus and cardamom keep things going, and prevent the vanilla from being overly sweet. The dry down is beautiful, and longevity is great: I can still smell it on my wrist after a shower. Love it! Can't wait to discover more creations from the nose behind it, Cécile Zarokian.

I got my hands on a sample of this perfume and wow, I love it! It reminds me of drinking milky tea sweetened by a sugar cube, with ginger biscuits on the side, sitting in a garden on an early spring morning while the grass is still slightly damp. I’m not usually a fan of citrus fragrances because they can sometimes come across as cleaning products to me, but this one is different. The sweetness isn’t cloying or overpowering it’s just enough to soften the sharper notes without making the fragrance feel sugary or heavy. Imo, it’s the perfect balance and smells genuinely unisex. The opening smells like lemon tea with a hint of ginger, then it gradually mellows into a creamy blend of milky chai. It’s genuinely sooooo comforting I could not stop sniffing my arm, it made me oddly happy so I’m definitely going to have to purchase a full size. Rip to my bank account 😭

As someone who is obsessed with laconic scents, Remember Me is a win! It's heavenly from beginning to end - cozy, warm, creamy, slightly sweet and milky, but it's also complex and classy. Definitely leaning feminine, it's pretty, alluring and welcoming. Like the best, most expenssive chai you'll ever have. It made me love cardamom for sure. Lasts pretty well on the skin and super well on clothes. I wear it mostly in spring or autumn and especially on rainy days, because it feels to me like a warm hug. I can see why people would find the milk, cardamom and ginger combo sourish, as it definitely goes more spicy and citrus-y on paper, so try it on the skin and see how it goes. It does resemble Princess by Killian a little, but it's fresher and not so marshmallow-y sweet. Which I love and can honestly bathe, live and drown in this stuff!

This fragrance opens with a strong citrus note, reminiscent of Ani but as it mellows, a beautiful tea scent emerges. The citrus note remains prominent but smoother and rounder, complemented by a sweet, creamy and cozy vanilla base. I find that all the notes are well-balanced, with none overpowering the others. The cardamom is subtle, blending seamlessly with the tea and milky notes to create a cohesive, smooth scent. It’s a subtle fragrance, not loud or overpowering, which suits its profile perfectly with decent lasting power on me. I had the chance to try it during the monsoon season, and it smells incredibly soothing and cozy in the rain. It’s an absolute love! While I don’t detect much of a Lira reference, it does evoke a fainter Ani in the opening, but it transitions into a distinct milky tea scent in the dry down. 10/10

Milky chai, a touch of cardamom, those soft florals that drift in and out. Then it settles into this warm, almost cuddly gourmand shape. Unusual but comforting, like a familiar place you forgot you liked. Surprisingly easy to wear, even though it shouldn’t be on paper. One of those scents you end up using more than you planned. And the funny part... not funny in a light way, more in the sense that it keeps shifting on me. Some mornings it opens brighter, almost more tea than milk, like catching the first steam from a cup rather than the drink itself. Other times the cardamom pushes forward and I’m sure it has more spine than I remembered. I’ve rewritten this a couple of times, simply because each wear brings a small adjustment, like trying to describe a room whose light changes every hour.

Harmonious! Jovoy have many perfumes I like but this was the only one I could wear all the time. I’ve has this over six years now... Simply amazingly natural milky vanilla on soft woods for body and a complimentary kick of subtle tea. All other notes are so subtle they are insignificant. The most feminine of the vanillas I own but it feels like the most natural yet still passable for men, even professionally - it is unique and inoffensive. It is also extremely well crafted and sits amongst Parfum De Marly, Amouage, Xerjoff etc for benchmark. If you like vanilla you must at least try this. If you like vanilla this is a safe blind buy. My runners up would be Atelier Cologne Vanilla Incensee, Vanilla Shot by Olfactive Studio, Xerjoff Dolce Amalfi and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Soufle Des Indes.

Remember Me is one of those perfumes that’s been having a moment - I’ve seen so many influencers recommend and rave about it. For me, this is one of few that really lives up to its reputation. It smells like a sweet and creamy London fog latte, a smell I’ve been searching for. (I find this similar to Twice to Tea from Poesie and Lepus from Piper & Perro, which are also favorites of mine.) Remember Me is so well blended. The citrus isn’t overwhelming, just adds a touch of levity; the spice doesn’t stand out to me but just makes it a little aromatic and warms it up; frangipani and ginger don’t lean tropical at all - something I was afraid of. Remember Me isn’t the strongest scent but is just so delightful that in my opinion it’s still full bottle worthy.

Remember Me truly lives up to it’s name. What a memorable experience this fragrance is! Initially confused but also intrigued - I went through about three samples of Remember Me before I finally bought a full bottle. Quite out of character as I’m generally an impulsive purchaser but It really took time for me to understand what a cozy & complex masterpiece this is. Unlike anything I have ever come across (I do own or have smelled much of the ‘this reminds me of’ list). Remember me opens up as a vibrant and almost zesty cardamom tea but quickly dries down to the most wonderful, well rounded, lactonic ginger tea. The lactonic note is borderline sour but it’s also addictive. This layers gorgeously - 10/10

What comes to my mind is a dreamy fairytale kitchen where cutie pie rabbits are getting ready for five o'clock tea time, ayyy ayy ay!! They wear aprons, and they are about to drink their milk tea with a slice of lemon cake. This is such a beautiful, heavenly scent! So damn comforting, very good for everyday use. It doesn't have superb sillage or longevity but it's okay. I find it suitable for all ages, literally. I'd wear it anywhere during the day, and all year round. And I'll most certainly wear it when I'm reading a book or drawing, or to a solo date. Just me, myself, and this goodness ahh...

Wow beautiful fragrance ! I can’t believe my nose. It’s so fluffy, calming and soothing . Soft and smooth cardamon, it’s not as spicy that I would hope but it’s lovely . The way the vanilla is done feels like the texture of an airy meringue- a lemon flavored one. Not too sweet just some sweetness. And then the tea running throughout, it’s a bit laconic. With all that said, it reminds me of Princess (I tried a dupe of the original formula) just a bit more spicy and lacontonic. Projection is more subtle but it lasts more than 8 hours on skin. I think it’s perfect for all year round use.

i dislike the opening with the cardamom, bergamot and ginger, it starts as a very masculine scent. After 20 mins those start fading away into a beautiful milk scent. The milk is the dominant note in this, though its sweetened by the vanilla. i dont really pick up the tea, after an hour its basically a sweet milk fragrance. The sweetness isnt cloying at all though, but i think it makes it a bit more feminine leaning. And honestly i think this is my favourite milk scent. The silliage leaves a lot to desire though, so even though i love how it smells i might not buy a full bottle

I’m usually not a fan of sweet perfumes, but this one felt different. I wanted to try it because of the green and tea notes. The fresh opening really appeals to me, though most of the time it gives off a bit of a tea party vibe. It’s a soft, warm and almost cosy scent; it reminds me of sitting indoors, wrapped in a soft jumper on a rainy autumn day. I don’t find it overly sweet or cloying because of the milk and vanilla notes, although it’s best applied sparingly. The soft cardamom-vanilla trail that lingers is addictive. Definitely not a summer fragrance, though.
