Réminiscence Le Patchouli is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2024. Le Patchouli opens with Cedar and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Réminiscence's Le Patchouli carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a grown-up gourmand patchouli that's not for everyone, despite its crowd-pleasing chocolate and vanilla drydown. It's an artful classic, but some might find it a bit too sweet and not quite raw enough for a true patchouli-head.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Le Patchouli opens with an intense hit of bitter, earthy patchouli and sharp cedar, reminiscent of damp soil after rain. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and vetiver emerge, before transforming into a warm, inviting embrace of sweet, dark chocolate with hints of vanilla and tonka bean. Labdanum and Tolu balsam add a resinous, amber warmth, leaving a musky, slightly powdery trail that lingers beautifully.
