Réminiscence Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Réminiscence's Oud carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A smooth, civilised oud that's far from barnyard funk. It's a classy, sensual take, though some find it a touch too masculine for their taste, sparking 'wild fantasies' for others. It’s either a stellar 'creamy oud' or 'very weak oud' depending on your nose.

Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile enough for office wear if applied lightly, but it truly shines in the evening. The sensual oud and warm spices lend themselves perfectly to date nights and more formal, intimate settings, with many reviewers highlighting its 'sexual' vibe.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Opens with a refined, almost mentholated oud, spiced up by the bright kick of pink pepper and cardamom. As it settles, saffron adds an elegant, leathery warmth, while a plush amber and earthy patchouli create a cosy, enveloping base. It’s a dry, woody scent that hints at rose without it ever dominating, leaving a subtly animalic, creamy trail.
