Oud Glacial, the new contrasted fragrance from Réminiscence. It was right in the middle of the 1970s that the house Reminiscence made a name for itself in perfumery circles. Indeed, its fragrance Patchouli was one of the great olfactory companions of the hippie movement. Since then, Reminiscence has showcased other raw materials in fragrances built on fairly short formulas, putting one or two ingredients in the spotlight.
The universe of Reminiscence was first embodied through very colorful creations. Indeed, initially, the house made costume jewelry. Then, Reminiscence gradually turned toward perfumery, still drawing inspiration from travels around the world to create unexpected scents. This is how Oud Glacial came to be, a very contrasted fragrance, built on a duality between the warmth of woods and the intense freshness of mint. As for the bottle, however, Reminiscence leans more toward restraint. Let us decode together the various details of its bottle.
A cylindrical bottle, a first for Reminiscence
Let us begin with the shape of this bottle. Indeed, Reminiscence's fragrances usually come in rectangular glass cases, relatively slender and elongated. At the same time, the house is also known for its Rem collection, whose bottle is rather rounded, but whose shape is completely irregular, like a pebble polished by ocean waves. Here, for the very first time, Reminiscence treats itself to a perfect cylinder. Oud Glacial thus marks its difference from its predecessors. This bottle rests on a thick glass base, a guarantee of its overall quality. A wide glass cylinder forms its body, while another, smaller cylinder shapes its cap. As for size, this silhouette comes in two spray bottles of 30 and 50 ml.
Oud Glacial, a neutral, unisex style
Oud Glacial by Reminiscence does not go in for flourishes or unnecessary details. With it, everything is simplicity and restraint. Its shape is neutral, as is its color. Its clear glass is simply covered with a small label bearing its name. This appears in green lettering, echoing its icy, green-tinged character. The fragrance itself is nearly transparent. Visually, everything is neutrality and freshness. Through this choice, Reminiscence gives its fragrance Oud Glacial a timeless style. What is more, thanks to this, Oud Glacial suits men and women alike, across all generations.
When a few refined details make their way into Reminiscence
Simplicity does not necessarily mean that this bottle lacks refined details. As such, it is topped with a chrome, shimmering cap that plays with light. Its base, meanwhile, is made of a heavy, thick glass. Moreover, this is finely sculpted. At its center, this glass base is hollowed out, in the manner of a wine bottle. One could almost picture having it served by a sommelier! So, what are you waiting for to let yourself be enchanted by its intense, contrasted freshness? A cool breeze is about to make its way into your bathroom and take you on a new olfactory journey… Like one you have probably never experienced before!
