Patchouli Réminiscence, or the myth of Patchouli Réminiscence, is above all a love story between Nino Amaddeo and his muse, Zoé. For 40 years, Réminiscence has imagined jewelry and perfumes inspired by the most beautiful places in the world. This is why Réminiscence perfumes are all distinctive olfactory poems.
Patchouli by Réminiscence is an emblematic fragrance of the 70s, releasing a powerful, woody breath along with a sense of freedom. Bohemian and seductive, it is aimed at a strong and independent woman, while stirring irrepressible wanderlust. Emblematic of the hippie movement, it evokes a bygone era and delights nostalgics as much as lovers of the emancipation of morals in general. With its strong concentration of patchouli, this fragrance has a powerful character and resembles no other composition. However, when it comes to the bottle, it favors sobriety instead.
The former bottle of Patchouli by Réminiscence
Initially, the bottle of Patchouli by Réminiscence was not exactly the same as the one we know today. Favoring sobriety, the Réminiscence house always gave it a very rectangular shape. However, its glass used to not be curved. It was simply a smooth rectangle with sharp edges. Resting on a stable base, it also had broad shoulders, while offering a heavy weight of glass, a mark of its refinement. Another distinctive element: it was also adorned with a rain of stars running across its front face. Likewise, this constellation was also present on its small silver cap. Stars were finely engraved there, as if to lift this perfume toward the sky and make it a true legend.
The new bottle of Patchouli by Réminiscence
Now, Patchouli by Réminiscence is slightly different. The stars have completely disappeared from its body and its cap. Likewise, its cap is no longer cylindrical as it once was. It is now a sober and elegant silver cube, giving this container a more precious and modern look. While its glass base is still made up of an imposing rectangle, it now takes on a slightly curved shape. This choice makes it easier to hold while slightly softening its visual appearance. On its front face, a label bears its name with utter simplicity. Silver in color, it blends perfectly with its cap, giving more coherence to the whole. But how can one speak of this bottle without highlighting the beauty and warmth of its juice? Through the transparency of its walls, the Patchouli bottle reveals an amber fragrance, whose color evokes wood as well as spices and oriental warmth. This gives the visual a more sensual and mysterious look, entirely in harmony with the essence contained within this bottle.
The whole is presented in a sober, orange cardboard box, scattered with stars, as an echo of Réminiscence's previous bottle.
Finally, it should also be noted that Patchouli by Réminiscence is available in a great many different sizes. Unlike most feminine perfumes, it exists in four variations, in spray bottles of 30, 50, 100 or 200 ml.
