Rem

Just coming back to appreciate this beautiful and simple creation that pioneered a whole new genre together with Aqua Motu and Acqva di Sale (though a tad different and less preferred personally). Rem is my go-to summer salty skin, seawater, sea breeze scent all year round for many years delivering the same quality at a fraction of the cost compared to similar perfumes, and I appreciate that a lot. It layers perfectly with neroli/citrus colognes if Rem alone is quite boring or meaningless for you. It might smell off-putting to people who are used to "perfumey" perfumes if that makes any sense. Rem is one of those anti-perfumes, taking a feeling, a concept, and presented in perfume form. I don't think it was made to smell good, i think it is meant to smell like "something". I read a lot of harsh reviews below, which I only can explain by consumers who are used to aquatic perfumes, but this is a "marine" perfume. I'm most curious about the demographics of the consumers of such fragrances. I believe anyone who lives/lived in a seaside Mediterranean city would like this perfume easier as the feelings evoked by it would be much more vivid compared to a person whose taste shaped up more by the countryside, mountains or just urban/city. And lets mention that the seaside is not all "nice smelling" stuff. You have the dimethyl sulfate iodine air, the dirty seaweed penetrating at times, vegetation of coastline, and the salty skin after a swim. It's not always coconuts and perfume smelling lotions. The stereotypical genre of "aquatics" that we know from 90s and 00s are not realistic representation of the marine IMO. But the genre of "marine" where Rem is a pioneer of, is. So it is totally understandable when someone loves aquatics but truly hates marine fragrances. Now if we look at the notes, it makes sense. Overall this is a tonka (Coumarin), Calone (slightly raw eggy, seaweed, watermelon note), salicylates (leftover sunscreen smell that might pass as a bit chemical or hairspray) and vanilla perfume before anything with salty herbs on top, fenugreek being the most obvious one. The lilac note probably coming from the anisic ingredients such as Anise Aldehyde, jasmine from the airy Hedione, rose from the metallic Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol and Geraniol with powdery musks. I can't pick any patchouli that might have been blended to create a different effect. I'd like to urge anyone who are let down expecting something else to try this creation more on their skin, especially in warmer temperatures, and have the connection when they visit seaside locations. Marine breeze is one of the tricky accords to turn into a perfume and I think Rem is one of the best (if not the best) perfumes that can capture it. 10/10 fragrance in my book for what it's intended for and how much value you get out of it with a very reasonable pricing.

Mi sono avvicinata a Rem con timida cautela, ci ho impiegato 20 anni ad acquistarlo perché ne ero quasi intimorita. Quando uscì, alla fine degli anni ‘90, era una chimera: non si trovava nelle profumerie commerciali, era nuovo e diverso, era unico. Lasciava una scia di mistero a chi lo indossava. Non so quante volte, ma sono tante, l’ho testato sul polso per poterlo poi comprare: nulla, virava Sull’ acido, una sorta di odore di cimice nauseante. Tutte le volte ero delusa, perché poi sugli altri era estremamente affascinante. Ho provato diversi Marini negli anni, ma nessuno per me aveva la stessa aura di Rem. Mi ci è voluto il lockdown per convincermi: bramavo il mare e l’aria aperta e ho acquistato online Il 50ml, nel caso, mi dicevo, lo avrei tenuto come cimelio. Eppure, eppure.... Non so se negli anni sia stato riformulato, ma credo di sì, perché quell’apertura rancida che ogni volta sentivo è sparita, si è addomesticata, pur restando fedele al Rem storico. AMORE. Un amore come poche volte mi accade nei profumi. Rem ha una capacità evocativa ed emozionale incredibile, pur restando un profumo estremamente chic, a parere mio. Una collega lo indossa anche in inverno, sotto i maglioni pesanti ed è un piacere annusare la scia che lascia mentre passa. Ha un’anima dualistica. È freschissimo, ma anche caldo e femminile. Per me è il Marino , l’unico che possa considerarsi tale. Sento moltissimo il fieno greco che tiene le fila della fragranza, fra cui a tratti emergono Sentori floreali . Per me è un capolavoro. Rem non è sempre uguale. Dipende dall’umidità, dalla temperatura , dal ph, non so. Talvolta esce la sua natura selvaggia , come un mare in tempesta. Occorre lasciarlo sfogare, per poi godersi dei suoi inconfondibili sentori.

Ohhh God, this Rem is such a beautiful fragrance!!! It’s a gem. I have no idea how I have not heard of it since it has been launched in 1996, but I have a 2 ml sample of the Rem EDT and it’s aquatic perfection. I love it so much, it makes my soul happy when I smell it. Besides being a light aquatic, marine, salty, vanilla type of scent, it has a wonderful lilac note in the opening that feels very natural and realistic. I love lilac scent the most! Very feminine and ethereal. It’s a bit more complex than just an aquatic floral, with added rose, jasmine, patchouli, clean musk and a note that I am not familiar with: fenugreek. It’s a summer dream kind of scent for me, warm wind, sea breeze... bottled in a gorgeous, turquoise, round bottle. Feels so airy, soft, sweet and warm in the same time. The only drawback of Rem EDT is the performance. As expected from an EDT, it performs rather modes. If worn exclusively on a beach, during extremely hot days, it’s probably better that it is not overly intense and suffocating since it is quite sweet. Being an old release, can be found online for an excellent price, which makes me forget its rather weak performance. From what I currently have in my collection, it’s a more floral, feminine version of Salina. Also somewhat similar to AdP, Mirto di Panarea. On my to buy list for next summer! I plan to layer these next times I”ll be on the beach.

I bought this blind, and a wonderful one it is! I am surprised at how sweet and almost spicy, but the right word is actually savory ! The first few seconds the smell is sharp, almost like blue medicinal alcohol, but maybe there is a color association at work here as well. Then the real scent unfolds, and the sunny salty and sweet air takes over ,in a sweet almost gourmand kind of way. The fenugreek note is proeminent and vanillic . I am very familiar with this smell, as I took the fenugreek supplements before. The closest I could describe it is maples syrup and vanilla. The fragrance doesn't develop much, but in the dry down there is a hint of something bitter, like burned skin in the sun. Must be a bit of patchouli? It is very lovely, and most of all carefree and happy , like an all inclusive vacation at a good five star resort in the Carribean , Sillage is only moderate , but longevity is pretty good, but it is such a pleasure to reapply anyway that I really don't mind at all. Happy and young!

For young girls ... Ah Ah ah. Let me laugh... Or I am weird, am I ? I'm a man, 27 years old. For the little story, all my perfumes up to now were mainly woody/oriental ones, for cold days. Except Image (which lasts NOTHING on me) and Narciso Rodriguez for Him (very versatile), I hadn't any true summer perfumes, so I blind bought this one. So... Girly ? Childish ? Nevermind, I'm in love with that one ! This is really an amazing beachy (but not bitchy ... Ah ah. Hum, sorry ._.) one. Sand and sea on the sun, that's exactly it. My favorite perfumes are ones which recreate a natural landscape, and this is exactly it. I don't get floral notes, but spicy ones instead on the background, in a gourmand way. It's like you eating a very special spicy cake on the beach in summer. True smell of holydays. I don't regret my blind-buy at all, as a very first summer/woman fragrance, this is really a beautiful one. You're the sun on my wardrobe, Rem ! ^^

Rem is the ocean feel, it's salty, ozonic, reminiscent of algae and vegetation, but with the addition of watercolor florals, the eyebrow-raising note of fenugreek, and a dash of vanilla. There is a light wash of benzyl salicylate giving a sunscreen feel, and a dollop of lactonic musks giving an almost fig-like quality into its heart. Originally marketed to the ladies, there is nothing particularly feminine nor masculine about this, it's a universal vibe, and if someone has a yen for the aquatics, this could be their cocktail of choice, to sip from the nostrils whether poolside or beachside. It's an alluring composition in that it pushes the envelope just enough to be thoroughly interesting in its textures and ambience.

Certainly unique. Beachy, breezy dimension. Fenugreek starts off a tad medicinal but thankfully this soon softens into the rest of the scent. It reminds me a little of Fior di Salina though this has a fuller and wider scope, edging more towards flowery but only so slightly. This is definitely salty sea water drying on the skin, then comes dried drift-wood and running through sand dunes. It keeps changing on me. This is quite a beautiful journey that I keep coming back to as it develops on my skin. There is a mystery in its powerful subtley; it's quite shamanic. I think I'm falling in love with this little beaut. I'm reviewing this on winter solstice but can't wait for the summer to really try this out.

I understand why some people get turned off by the opening of Rem, it's very sea like, for better or for worse. It's not the most luxurious smelling scent out but it is very unique and in the world of clones and dupes I value originality. I find it very refreshing and calming and for me this is the best bed scent for the humid sticky summer nights. And the best thing is, when I wake up I still get whifs of soft floral and vanilla notes, making my mornings even better. 8/10 - refreshing sea breeze with surprising depth

The victorious sea on the skin, the sea on the body, the sea in the soul, the sea in all its wonderful, dominant essence. Aquatic, marine essence, skilfully blended with a graceful floral blend that amplifies its fresh naturalness. The bottom becomes welcoming and enveloping. Absolutely nothing to do with Acqua di Sale: launched in the same year 1996, the associations are easy and immediate, but the difference is considerable. Unisex fragrance that leaves its mark.

wow! I love REM!!! Great gourmand scent for summer! The openning is a blast of fresh marine notes, and the fresh feeling lasts, hanging over the foody heart notes. It's not acturally floral, no, there is much more creamy gourmand than floral. But unlike the famous Angel, REM's foody/dessert notes are very light, even transparent. What amazes me is, how they managed to match these totally oppersite characters into a harmony.

Aquatique poudré bleu lacté, c'est le parfum de la surfeuse qui , après avoir rincé le sel, de sa plage océane, veut sentir féminin pour commencer sa journée de travail. Parfum complimenté par un collègue de travail, au retour d'une visite éprouvante. Lorsqu'on retourne le soir voir comment sont les vagues,, il parfume encore vos cheveux flous dans la brise du soir. Sent doux, propre, délicat, le bleu lui va bien.

Brings me back to Capri and Portofino, the parfume has a strong evocative effect and brings my mind to the most beautiful places. The parfume has an identity that cannot be mistaken with any other. I remember back in 2008 everyone was wearing it, and even in the city I felt I was on the seaside.

Наистина не знаех какво да очаквам и съм изключително доволна:) носи ми усещане за простор, море, вода и въздух едновременно, действа ми страхотно на настроението. Различен и красив, едт има отлична трайност и присъствие.

I like it a lot... bought a few days ago, after using the cheaper Fiore dell'onda by Erbolario, that is so similar. It smells of sea, beach, summer... fresh and warm in the meantime.. I love it.

Acorrding to Nowsmellthis, www.yosmiami.com sell full bottel Reminiscence. If you want some decant to try, theperfumedcourt.com is a nice site.

A wonderful scent...if you don't want to pass unnoticed! :-) It's my favourite perfume!

Great scent, it reminds me of summer, sea and beach. I like it a lot.

Selling my brand new bottle, bought as back up. UK shipping only

It was not love at first sight, to be honest, but it quickly grew into an obsession and started me onto a quest to find the perfect aquatic fragrance. In the end that quest lead me right back to where I started: The original Rem EDT. Rem is not light, bright and clear like the shallow clear blue water of a Caribbean beach. If that is what you are looking for I suggest Rem l'Acqua or Rem Escale a St Barth, two amazing (!!!) flankers of Rem. The original Rem is much more aromatic and spicy and reminds me more of the real smell of the ocean. A touch of sea weed and crustations, kind of. Not fishy by any means, just a bit more of the realistic, aromatic ocean feel. The fenugreek is unusual and might take some getting used to but I found it to be very addictive. All in all, although not a recommended blind buy, Rem is a wonderful and classic sea scent that even works on those cooler sea side days during spring and fall. A classic that is one of the original aquatic scents out there and still feels fresh and relevant today. Love it!

It took two summers for me to like it because I have many fragrances and don't wear each one all that often. Rem has a bizarre mix of notes. And it's one of those fragrances that my brain continues to process long after each time I wear it. When I come back months later, a year later, to such fragrances, they jump in cohesiveness and pleasure. They make sense and are evocative. Rem is magical every summer when I visit it once or twice. It's a fragrance that reminds me of the off-beat grimy-glitter atmosphere in post WWII underground cinema, such as Kenneth Anger in particular. Eaux d’artifice with the midget descending through the fountains at Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Italy. Or Rabbit's Moon.

I owe a bottle for 4 years now and I used up about 20 sprays every summer. Not from a reason I don't like it but I was craving every summer something else. Lately I decided to wear it few days in row to decide is it me or not. I was matching it with marine, salty scent, maybe in CK Reveal way...but I was wrong! It's not aquatic (far from this), it's not fresh but more aromatic! I've got FIG LEAVES galore on my skin. For lovers this kind of scent I recommend to try it. A bit is leaning to a masculine side but it' s totally unisex scent. It lasts about 6 h. on my skin. If someone wants to test it, decants are available :-) as I' ve got a big bottle.

Sea salt. Not nearly as complex as one would think.. I get no sweetness from either the vanilla or the tonka bean.. I do get some patchouli.. this is sea salt, and the beach in early summer. Now.. I lvoe the beach in ealry summer. Hence, I love this scent. However, it doesn't smell, or wear, like a luxury fragrance - also considering its lasting power being about 2 hours on me. However I must mention, if you are on the market for a sea scented frangrance, I still can't find an alternative to this that's more convincing and that smells more realistic. So 10/10 for how well the central theme of this frangrance was developed I guess!!

Very interesting! I have to say the first spray of this actually repulsed me...it seemed very sharp and intensely bitter. Once it had settled on my skin a bit, I found myself sniffing my wrist over and over again. This does have some notes that are a bit sharp, but it seems to work. This scent evokes the ocean, but in a less typical way than aquatic scents usually do. It has a marine scent, which I would describe as a bitter, earthy ocean scent. The notes that dominate on my skin are florals, a bitter walnut-like note, and some creamy, earthy musk. Rem is an unusual scent...in a very good way!

Guest Keks. You can buy this one in Holland in shops, but there are also dutch perfume websites that sell this perfume. But I don't know where you are from. But if you can get a bottle of this, I would definitly buy it, it is such a lovely, fun, summer, beach fragrance. When I had this one, everybody would ask me what I was wearing. But I never told them and hold this lovely secret to myself. I don't see any coconut in the notes, but I still believe there is a little bit of coconut hidden in this treasure

EDT is écoeurant on paper and fabric and captivant on skin, though hardly a love. The fenugreek. Maple or a rotten sea? The nose must get used to this weird note. I'll report back. Report 2: it's growing on me however it remains really unusual and there is one bizarre note that hasn't seduced me, yet. Report 3: ok just in time for summer, I like it completely. The fragrance is unique. It is flowery so may not please all guys into unisex. I like the EDP as well.

I got this sample with another purchase but didn’t bother much because i’m not in to aquatic perfumes. But today I tried it. The opening smells very salty, in a good way. Reminded me of my vacations by the mediterranean sea, pure joy. It’s very fresh to the dry down where you sense a soft and airy, musky vanilla. I was really surprised of how much I liked this one. 7.5/10

I like its salty, seaweed and oceanic water top notes, it dries down totally girly, light floral , vanilla & musk. This definitely has a beachy vibe & definitely feminine. She may not be the siren of the sea, but she has a pleasing ,quirky, quality you will want to revisit!

There is something charmingly repulsive about Rem. The sea is not a smell accurately represented in perfume and if there is a scent that captures its true sulphric iodine rot accurately I have yet to find it. But Rem is the first one to truly hint at this aspect of the sea and it grows on me each passing day I wear it. It opens with a beautifully fresh marine breeze that quickly evolves into an overly sweet, melted vanilla soft-serve on a hot day. This is where it's disgusting side comes from. It's honeyed and sickly with the overdose of fenugreek and tonka, like said ice cream has melted over low-tide pier rocks blasted by the summer sun. This is polarizing to the highest degree. It's just a little salty and I think reviewer, Bandit, beneath me summarized the scent of this perfume perfectly, despite their review being 'negative' it is highly accurate to what I'm smelling. It reminds me of cleaning out the seashells gathered during beach combing - clearing out the decaying organic matter that stunk when smelt up close with bleach and hot water. The sea and it's dying lifeforms, are not kind smells, they are full of rot and death, which is a sweet stench itself. Rem captures the memory of a recent cheery walk alongside a seaside town complete with ice cream and fried sweets at piers, and marries it with the living filth that lurks beneath the blue waters of the ocean beneath our feet. While many will find this marriage repulsive, I personally revel in that smell and it's why I respect this perfume a great deal. It's the closest I've come to a true sea smell in a perfume bottle, stink and all.

Would be pefect but utterly hopeless longevity, I'm surprised this doesn't come up more in reviews, such a shame as it's a genius scent especially considering it's from the 90s I believe... very aqua motu, sea, sand dunes, driftwood vibe and delightful and don't make the mistake I did of hoping the EDP would solve the longevity issues, it's a crime they're allowed to call it REM EDP as it's barely the same scent as the EDT - they've chucked a whole bunch of flowers in there it's almost Granny-ish... Shame, keep hunting, Aqua Motu similar lasting issue and again the EDP of aqua motu is off... How hard can it be, more Parfum, less aqua and alcohol surely? Anyway, that's me done.

A huge disappointment. I really like all individual notes, but combined it’s a sticky mess. Didn’t meet my expectations at all. Not fresh or marine like, a chemical mix of nothing. And way too feminine for my taste, both smell and bottle. I think it’s supposed to be female, but Reminisence tried to be popular and changed it too unisex to stay in demand. Of course, as always with colognes I don’t like, both longitivity and sillage are excellent. But still a big no for me.

i get mostly water notes, vanilla, patchouli, tonka and fenugreek. it smells familiar yet very different from any aquatics i've tried. despite these deeper notes, this is sheer and totally unisex. it smells beachy but not in the typical way. it smells like fabric blowing in the breeze but not like dryer sheets. refreshing but in an understated way...an aromatic salty/sea vanilla. very interesting, not something i would wear often, but would be nice on a hot day.

Drinking Coca Cola by the poolside. That's the energy I get from this one! A little bit spicy, just a little bit mature - not in a negative way at all. Pretty calm, nice dry down. Luv! :)

This is definitely unique; someone on YouTube said it had mermaid vibe and I agree with that. However, I have a very strange feeling of sniffing guinea pig straw - or any other rodent - together with some animal smell coming from the cage itself. Not necessarily unpleasant, just a bit odd. From what I remember about fenugreek, it comes from it. If this is a mermaid, then a seaweed-covered silke, not a femme fatale siren. I strongly recommend testing on your own skin before buying.

It has a strange very nutty note. Maybe this is fenugreek. Or maybe this is how sea is supposed to smell because it is like iod. Beside this note, I smell a bittersweet herbal smell.I never reach for this parfume because of the nutty / iodine note.

I wont never undestand the popularity of this fragrance (and all its flankers): I find it quite disgusting, however it can be considered a gourmand, yeah, if you're eating nori seaweed + sushi + soy sauce!

For my sea smell kick I have Sel Marin by Heeley. This one did not remind me in any way of the seaside. It did however give me a headache.

anyone else thinks this smells like old heavy iron? as in, ironing your shirts iron

i quite literally gag everytime i even think of the smell, it is so vile that id rather smell like a flower that has decayed over the course of 1000 years then was dipped in acid then was let down in nair than ever even remotely smell like this perfume, all of you saying its amazing are liars because how can you enjoy this

one word : YUUUUK !!! This scent has traumatized me so bad, how can we even call it a fragrance; it's just disgust in a bottle. I would gift it to my ennemy without hesitation. It's not pushed on the market no more but i needed to say and express my hate for this juice

I liked the idea of an essence that smells like the sea, and makes me feel like I'm on the beach... Unfortunately this perfume becomes something putrid and rotting on my skin...

I genuinely cannot believe anyone would have anything negative to say about Rem. While the aquatic/beach archetype may not be everyone's cup of tea, Rem has high quality synthetics and well blended. It's aquatic without piercing through the room with its freshness. It's beachy without being a screechy sweet generic melange of tropical fruits and coconut. It's from 1996 and doesn't smell a bit dated. Rem opens with muted sunscreen accords and something bitter. There is a tamed vanillic sweet lurking behind the muted sunscreen opening. I don't get any florals or patchouli. The bitter note fades and the scent gets airy and with an edge of spice as it dries down to a unisex vanilla, creamy, and musk scent. This is a lovely scent and I will be spraying the house down as summer ends and using it as a getaway in the same way I used Salvador Dali's Laguna. EDIT: CK Reveal for Women seems to have been completely inspired by Rem! They both have the sunblock skin scent. Where Rem is by far more "entering the beach waters", Reveal is "I am done swimming in this beach and my skin looks beautiful and is radiating the heat of the sun it spent all day soaking."

I just bought this as a blind buy from TK-MAXX after reading the rave reviews here. I was so excited because I figured I would love this it because I love aquatic scents. And wow.. I just hate this. First I got from this was just a blast of pure alcohol, and then just spicey weirdness. Nothing I'd even put CLOSE to being aquatic or marine. I'm very confused by this because the reviews say another story completely. I almost wonder if there's some kind of mix-up somehow. This was so not what I was expecting. I literally just a get a horrible, dull vague spice from this. Nothing else. Nada. It smells kind of like a shop that stocks lots of spices. This might be one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelled. Such a huge disappointment. I will at least give it a chance, and report back. I really hope it might somehow magically grow on me so I don't have the hassle of trying to resell this.

I LOVE it... my trendy parisian friend wears it and it is indeed absolutely unforgettable. I live in the US but on the following trip home I looked for it, found it and the first smell out of the bottle nearly made me nauseous. The thing smelled AWFUL. Disappointed but stubborn, I bought it anyway and started to wear it too. Indeed you cant overdo this thing or you will smell like the beach after a tsunami, but if you use it in moderation, this fragrance is the most unusual, sensuous, intoxicating, memorable, refined and addicting you can possibly find. Now back in the US, women stop me at the grocery store and ask me what my fragrance is (like I'm going to tell me...). Multiple times I get the usual compliment on my perfume from perfect strangers - males and females - in the office. My bottle is almost empty, and I am frantically looking for a reseller in the US... Help!

Sono un'amante di rem dal lontano 2001. Le persone mi fermavano per strada per chiedermi dove lo avessi acquistato ed io, gelosissima, rispondevo che non lo sapevo perché me lo avevano regalato. Ai tempi si vendeva in un confezione ricaricabile e sembrava di avere il profumo del mare in una boccetta... Impossibile non sentirne la scia...ora purtroppo sa solo di alcool,liquirizia, melone e anguria. Lo acquisto ancora perché ne sono affezionata, ma ahimè devo confessare che è letteralmente diverso. Ho provato a fare una ricerca intensa per ritrovare qualcosa di così simile e persistente, ho girato centinaia di profumerie e letto svariati forum, ma non c'è nulla da fare. Ho provato anche a chiedere di ricreare la stessa fragranza, ma un naso profumiere ha risposto che il prezzo per un 100 ml varia dai 3 ai 5.000 €...

I admit it is really an original scent, though Comptoir Sud Pacific Aqua Motu smells just the same and was created 3 years before Rem. Yes, it does smell of sea, sex and sun; and yes, it is fresh and warm at the same time. Original and fun it is, refined it is not. Not that that is a bad thing ;-) Rem is one of those "cult" fragrances. Like you have your Aromatics Elixir addicts and your Angel addicts, you have your Rem addicts. Those that have been truly bitten can't wear anything else. Though I have a colleague that loves both Angel and Rem (and from reading reviews, I learned she is not the only one). Like most addicts she can't smell herself and therefor oversprays. I literally know she has entered the building even before I can actually see her. So, please addicts, don't over do it. Thank you <3

I don't know what it is with me and Rem: I find it utterly disgusting. Far from being a perfume. Even more, smelling like "a hot summer day at the harbour, smelling the heated sea, the rotten seaweed, the crystallized stinking salt, the dead fish, the garbage of the boats around swimming in the machine-oiled ocean". Gourmand? Whatcha eating guys? I simply cannot believe that somebody gives their hard earned money to smell like this. When I was 15 I spent one summer at the sea in the Netherlands at a camping place and a very nice guy there refused to use a bath and only "showered" in the sea. He smelled Rem - so not good. It's weird, because I tried Crazy, Sea and Etoile Rem and find them really attractive; one more, one less, but nevertheless attractive perfumes.

A marine unisex fragrance, that doesn't smell generic: it does have calone and salty notes, but also a very nice vanilla base. The overall effect is the smell of tanned skin on holiday. It is not your overall marine fragrance, beware: the marine effect is just a suggestion throughout of some savoury notes. Womanity must have been inspired by this one. I hated it at first, cause it is hard to wear ( it may stink on a wrong day), but it evokes summer holiday in it's best sense ever. Also, you are highly encourage to wear it in winter/fall: it is solid, it lasts and it transposes you to an imaginary beach with coral reefs...

It's such a strange scent, but not bad. Just like nothing else I've smelt. It's indeed marine, salty, aromatic like herbal spice in a kitchen. I don't sense any sweetness from this one. It smells like you're making a salad (yes, it smells of salad spices) in a house by the sea, with the windows wide open and the breeze flowing through. It's a very natural fresh smell, very high-quality. It smells relaxing summer at the house by the sea. I can't really smell any flowers, tonka or vanilla. It gives off a very calm, relaxing and soothing vibe - not a care in the world.

To be or not to be: this is the problem. To be fresh or not to be too much? Be gentle or do not be too intense? This fragrance is a real dilemma! Fresh but not cloying. Delicate but not intense. If Rem were a person he would be assoultingly bipolar. This fragrance can only be loved and hated at the same time. Love it because it is of a unique freshness, as if we were underwater. To hate her because that freshness is only a momentary desire that fades immediately. Beautiful things do not last forever and this scent is proof of this.

This is love at first smell! I went into a shop because I wanted to buy a bracelet i noticed in the window. They also sold perfumes in that shop, from Reminiscence. I dont know why, but I just reached out to Rem's bottle. It is the ocean, the summer, freedom, happines, being impressed, being emotional, all of this in one scent. For me, its a treasure, a wonderful discovery! Not a heavy warm scent that keeps on you for hours and hours, but tiny little drops of energy. I would say, try it out!!!
