New Perfume: Jammin by Réminiscence

Reminiscence_2003.jpg

Réminiscence released a new, so-called "musical perfume" this spring called Jammin.  It is characterized as a green, woody, and floral fragrance. Its "suave" character is said to evoke the "softness and sensuality of fragrant evenings."

Top notes are grapefruit, pink pepper, cardamom, and blackcurrant. Heart notes are cedar and jasmine. Base notes are musk, patchouli, vanilla, and Tonka.

Réminiscence has also undertaken to launch its first ever publicity campaign which centers on their best-seller, Patchouli. You might be interested to know that Juliette Binoche wore Patchouli by Réminiscence during the shooting of the movie featuring the life of George Sand, Les Enfants du Siècle, to get into character as Sand is famously known to have been devoted to the scent of patchouli. A Réminiscence boutique has also opened on March 18 in London.

Their perfume line comprises also Anjali (limited edition), Patchouli, Musc, Ambre (a trilogy of sensual perfumes based on these base notes), Eau de Rem, 2000 ans D'Amour, Rem, Réminiscence Homme, Patchouli Homme.

Jammin retails for 75 Euros. More information and pics of the flacon can be found on the Réminiscence site.

I have added a review of Jammin here

Wow! I love their site! Too bad it says the products aren't available by mail. I'm eager to try them all. Hrmph.

I suppose it's good for the French economy that people buy a plane ticket to go to Paris to shop for exclusive goods there instead of mail ordering!

It is indeed frustrating -- Paris will remain the capital of perfumes in this sense too. I hope you can find a friend that will oblige.

Dang, I would like to be able to try these.

I wonder what Anjali smells like? Do you know, and have you tested any of these fragrances?

Hugs!

I have smelled Patchouli, Ambre, and Musc. I might have smelled Patchouli Homme on a passerby in the area -- it smelled gooood.

I can't remember if I preferred Ambre or Musc. They are classic orientals, the type of intemporal fragrances that I imagine someone like George Sand could have bought by the ounce back in the 19th century.

please let me know the address of the london shop so I can purchase this perfume many thanks
