Réminiscence Si Do is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Flori and Zoé Coste. Si Do opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Cedar, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Pear, and Peach. Réminiscence's Si Do carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This discontinued scent divides opinion with its unique, powdery sweetness. Some find it comforting and sophisticated, others deem it an outdated, one-dimensional 'violet candy' that's almost sickeningly sweet. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and unique character make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but it might be too polarising or distinctive for formal events or the office. The warm, comforting notes align well with daywear, especially in cooler weather.

About

Si Do opens with a brief zest of bergamot, lemon, and orange before quickly settling into a distinctive heart. Here, unusual carrot seeds blend with soft iris and the heady sweetness of ylang-ylang, underpinned by a hint of spicy clove and dry cedar. The drydown introduces a warm, musky base with a whisper of vanilla, and surprisingly, a subtle fruity sweetness from pear and peach.
