Réminiscence

Oriental Dream

It was in the heart of London, at the end of the 1960s, that Nino Amaddeo and Zoé Coste had the idea of creating a costume jewelry brand together. Then, these travel enthusiasts did not hesitate to journey across the entire planet in search of precious stones, so as to design jewelry pieces that were always highly colorful, in a purely bohemian-chic style. Even today, this love for distant lands endures. It can be felt, moreover, in all of Réminiscence's perfumes. In 2022, the house invites us to set down our bags in the Middle East, with the release of a new unisex fragrance: Oriental Dream.

The woody and spicy breath of Oriental Dream by Réminiscence

Oriental Dream by Réminiscence is a sensual composition whose effluvia instantly plunge us into a distant land. With it, the atmosphere lights up with an opulent and exotic breath, coming from ylang-ylang. This flower shaped like a small white star is immediately softened by cashmere wood. Then, Oriental Dream by Réminiscence wraps itself in a breath of incense and benzoin resin. Typically oriental spices are also part of the composition, as evidenced by the presence of clove. More amber in its base notes, Oriental Dream by Réminiscence also contains one of the most luxurious raw materials in the entire perfumer's palette: oud wood. Finally, its formula ends with a persistent note of sandalwood.

Oriental Dream by Réminiscence and its apothecary bottle

While the formula of Oriental Dream by Réminiscence is particularly rich, its bottle, on the other hand, plays the card of restraint. No one could date its 100 ml glass bottle to any particular era. Timeless and streamlined, it seems to have come straight out of a small apothecary shop. Its baroque spirit, typical of the Arabian Nights, appears in its golden touches, notably on its label and on its spray cap. Its packaging, in turn, takes its ochre color from desert sand. The magic works, and we find ourselves instantly transported to the heart of the Orient...

Oriental Dream, a captivating and mysterious perfume

Oriental Dream by Réminiscence is an original creation that invites travel across the world, going beyond borders and losing oneself in a captivating journey. Like an olfactory tale, it opens the way to dreaming and wonder. Everything in it draws inspiration from the Middle East. Indeed, in that part of the globe, wood is very present. It stands as a living witness to past centuries and has been extensively worked by human hands. Sometimes carved, its bark was also offered to the gods as offerings, while pairing with multiple spices. This other ingredient is also very present in this perfume. Captivating and vivid, the spices make Oriental Dream by Réminiscence a warm and sensual perfume. It becomes impossible to resist its aura...

Olfastory’s review

It was in Juan-les-Pins, in the south of France, that the first Réminiscence boutique opened its doors in 1970, specializing more precisely in the creation of high-end costume jewelry. Nevertheless, Nino Amaddeo and Zoé Coste, founders of the house, did not content themselves with the Mediterranean basin to multiply their creativity. Travel enthusiasts, they went to meet all sorts of cultures. Since then, exoticism has found its way into all of Réminiscence's creations, both in its jewelry and in its perfumes. Oriental Dream does not escape this tradition. Here is our review.
