Reminiscence Patchouli Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Reminiscence Patchouli Pour Homme Eau de Toilette 100ml is a richly woody-spicy fragrance for men from the cult French niche house, launched in 2000. Mandarin orange and lime open the bottle on a fresh citrus lift, the iconic Reminiscence patchouli takes centre stage in the heart with cedar and geranium, and a warm base of benzoin, French labdanum, Tolu balsam, tonka bean and musk gives the composition deep resinous character.

About Reminiscence

Reminiscence is a French jewellery and fragrance brand founded in 1970 in Saint-Tropez by Nicole Gillier, internationally known for its Boho-chic charms, ethnic-inspired jewellery and patchouli-led fragrances. The brand became defining for the patchouli-rich, hippie-chic 1970s aesthetic and has continued to centre its fragrance line around real patchouli — with Patchouli Pour Homme as its men's signature.

Who it's for

Best for men who love rich, deep patchouli-led perfumery — natural territory for fans of fragrances such as Lalique Encre Noire, Frédéric Malle Bois d'Orage or Christian Dior Patchouli Imperial. The benzoin-and-labdanum drydown gives it autumn-and-winter character with strong projection; the citrus opening keeps it from being entirely heavy. A natural choice for evenings, formal occasions and cool-weather wear.

How to wear it

Spray sparingly onto pulse points — wrists, neck and the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Toilette built on a resinous patchouli base, expect strong projection in the first one to two hours and a deep, smoky-resinous skin scent that lingers six to eight hours.
