Vanille Santal

This time, the house of Réminiscence has decided to lead us toward the eastern part of the globe, and more specifically to India. Its fragrance Vanille Santal proves just as gourmand as it is sensual. So, how about treating yourself to a touch of exoticism, slightly indulgent and infinitely smooth?

The Réminiscence fragrance collection

Originally a costume jewelry maker, the house of Réminiscence made a habit of traveling the globe in search of new colorful and exotic stones. Then, it decided to draw on its love of travel to venture into perfumery. Always in search of rare and precious essences, Réminiscence's perfumers set out to conquer the planet and unearth smooth, exotic ingredients. This is how they first gave rise to the Patchouli fragrance, one of the most popular essences of the 1970s, a true icon of the hippie movement. Then, in the same vein, Réminiscence went on to create fragrances named Amber, Musk or Vanilla. Each of these fragrances highlights one of the most famous ingredients in the perfumer's entire palette. It elevates it and explores the full richness of its scent, dressing it further with other ingredients placed in the background. This is what is known as “réminiscençades”. The new Vanille Santal belongs to this family. Although it contains two ingredients, it delivers the full beauty of an Indian scent widely used by perfumers.

Vanille Santal, a smooth and spicy gourmand

As the name of this fragrance suggests, Vanille Santal by Réminiscence contains two main ingredients: vanilla and sandalwood. Let us begin with vanilla. Coming from an orchid, vanilla grows in the tropical, humid regions of the globe. Steeped in sunshine, it is considered one of the most richly flavored raw materials in the entire realm of perfumery. If vanilla is so widely used by fragrance creators, it is simply because it brims with character. By turns smooth, creamy, sensual, powdery or animalic, vanilla explores every facet of the personality of the woman wearing this fragrance. Here, vanilla is paired with sandalwood, a rare and precious wood, reserved exclusively for fine perfumery. A noble ingredient, sandalwood is very often present in the base notes of fragrances. Here, it unfolds all its creaminess, while amplifying the powdery facet of the vanilla. It also lends greater longevity to this fragrance. Finally, for even more gourmand character, Vanille Santal by Réminiscence also contains caramel, along with a few spices. It comes in the bottle common to all the “réminiscençades”, in a size of 100 ml.
