So Réminiscence offered women of the new millennium an airier and fresher version of its great classic by releasing Patchouli L'Eau in 2009.
Offering the beauty of Patchouli to all women with Patchouli L'Eau
Patchouli by Réminiscence made a considerable mark on the 1970s with its deep and intense oriental scents. It remains unquestionably the reference fragrance for all lovers of oriental fragrances who are fond of deep woody notes. Yet the sheer volume of its woody opulence can, for some, be a deterrent. All the more so since in recent years we have grown used to recognizing patchouli through other, lighter accords, often musky.
The idea, then, was to offer a lighter and less dense Patchouli to women who love adorning themselves with oriental sensuality without wearing a very present sillage. Taking on a citrus-tinged modernity, Patchouli L'Eau surprises and revisits the great classic with brilliance and always with high-quality raw materials, to the great delight of those awaiting a new olfactory discovery.
The visual for Patchouli and Patchouli L'Eau has also been reworked and simplified! Today the Patchouli range is simply represented by a hand holding the divine bottle along with a piece of jewelry from Réminiscence's Native American collection. The sobriety of this imagery is still just as artistic, and the house demonstrates once again, with its legendary fragrance, that it does not need ostentatious luxury to shine among the greatest perfumery houses.
Patchouli L'Eau, an oriental flight filled with freshness...
Like all the bottles in Réminiscence's Patchouli range, Patchouli L'Eau appears in slanted glass. However, since the softness of the sandalwood counterbalances the strength of the patchouli, the cap is meant to represent this new tenderness by taking on a powdery pink shade, as seen on its label.
Patchouli L'Eau opens with a surprising and very innovative citrus opening built around orange and mandarin, a first for a fragrance in this oriental range. Then Java patchouli, the true star of the fragrance, opens the ball of balsams and sensual waves. Tolu balsam, vanilla, benzoin, labdanum, sandalwood and musk play on the multiple facets of patchouli to cast their spell on us once again. Finally, cocoa absolute surprises and delights, both through its bitterness, ideally suited to the fragrance's tropical mood, and through its light gourmand quality, which in no way alters the soft sensuality of this Patchouli L'Eau.
Patchouli L'Eau is a light and fresh wave that combines the essential qualities of this legendary fragrance with the softness of a touch of Sandalwood and Musk. Réminiscence on Patchouli L'Eau.
