Reassure

I have all 6 bottles under Collections Apothecary. This Reassure is new from last year 2024. Great lovely 50ml round bottles that resembles Aesop but don't think clones it. I first tested Reassure at M&S and didn't quite like it as much as I like Restful. But giving it a proper wear today, it's actually better with more sprays. This has notes of Tonka bean, orange flowers, patchouli and cedar leaf as listed on the presentation and it's stated as a Scent to De-Stress. Well under the Collections Apothecary range, I'll say all the 6 bottles were crafted for therapy like needs and wear, as a form of relaxation and destressing. This seems close to Tonka 25 based on the notes but I haven't tried that to know and confirm if it is. At the opening I get the Tonka and Prominent orange, essential oil and diffuser kinda relaxing scent which has mild projection and silage and stays stronger smell on the skin. You'll also get a light vanilla lingering in the background with the tonka and orange. After a while, the soft woodiness and welll blended in patchouli surfaces but the opening remains and it becomes abit less sweet. Very nice scent to relax and destress to. Longetivity is about 3-6 hrs for this range based on my experience. Sometimes after 2 Hours it fades to become a light skin scent. It's quite a simple scent and you'll get more of the woody patchouli later stage on the drydown. Pretty good for a Marks & Spencer scent.

A very warm comforting scent, very much like a spa cozy aura around you. I think it’s well blended and also resembles a nice clean skin soap scent. I can see the comparisons to Le Labo, though they’re scents are much stronger projection but also 10x the price. I would say from the M&S apothecary collection this is the most perfumey crowd-pleaser.
