Réminiscence Mi Fa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Flori and Zoé Coste. Mi Fa opens with Marshmallow, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, Jasmine, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Réminiscence's Mi Fa carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This gourmand is divisive: some find it a sophisticated, grown-up marshmallow, others a cloying, sickly sweet scrubber. Definitely one to try before you buy to see which camp you fall into.

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.

About

Mi Fa opens with a sugary hit of marshmallow, brightened by zesty orange and bergamot, with a surprising herbal twist from mint and lavender. The heart introduces delicate neroli and jasmine, adding a touch of clean floralcy before settling into a warm, creamy base. Vanilla, tonka bean, and musk blend with subtle cedarwood and amber, creating a sweet and comforting dry down.
