Eau de Rem

This is one of the best aquatic citrus fragrances I have ever tried. Most of that genre tend to be sharp, loud, and cloying on my skin. Eau De Rem is well-balanced and grounded, with green herbal notes that make the lemon and aquatic notes more stable. The base notes are very subtle, yet adhere the other notes to my skin for several hours and add a bit of warmth. It's like a cool but sunny spring day by the sea, with crisp spray-soaked winds blowing at your clothing and tossing your hair about, your toes sinking into cold wet sand. I am almost out of the tiny sample vial I received over a decade ago. For so long I was reluctant to try Eau de Rem under the misunderstanding that it was a strong patchouli fragrance, something I usually do not enjoy. I got it confused with the original Reminiscence. Now Eau de Rem is long discontinued and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Of all the long-gone fragrances I've had to leave behind, this is one of the more recent ones that I'll miss the most.

This is probably the best citrusy fresh scent I have ever tried. The lemon and bergamot just plays so well with the grass and rosemary and there is an aquatic sheerness to it that is so refreshing. Lovely.

Eau de Rem is only slightly aquatic, it's more like a soft lavender cologne on a clean white musk base. A bit like those big bottles of refreshing lavender splashes that are very popular in Brazil. Becomes quite unisex after 15min in the dry down. Overpriced IMHO. Way too soft for real Rem addicts.
