This one is a soapy, vintage amber. Not one for me.

Semi sticky/sweet perfume. It comes artificial, the aroma is nearly like from patisserie. Longevity is good. I dont find it attractive to my nose.

This is my third Reminiscence fragrance and I’ve got to say I’m fast becoming a fan of theirs. It took me a couple of goes before I really got this, because for some reason I was expecting it to be a bit spicier. I was quite startled at how sweet this seemed when it first went on, but it settled quickly. It’s quite lovely; it feels warm and soft and so very comforting. I don’t get much of the clove at all in this, but I do get a lot of powder. Longevity is great – I get a good seven to eight hours out of this.
Piligrim97 – :
At least it smells fresh & clean. Not at all what I expected, sadly.
NESTERITO – :
Musica da camera,madri e mogli esemplari,talco caldo,pepato,confortevole con una vaniglia dolce da bucato…
Erano altri tempi…
Una firma bomba old-style riconoscibile tra mille.

I am quite positive I bought Amber botlle with Patchouli perfume inside.

I’ve had a fresh bottle of this on hand since discovering it over 20 years ago – keep buying a new one when I run out. I wear it alone, but more often, I use it to layer underneath a lighter scent (Chanel Chance, Versense, DG Light Blue, etc). In the end, the lighter scents evaporate, and all my clothes and car smell like this Ambre. It is that brilliant.

It’s called “Ambre” but it does not smell like amber. When first spray there are soft cloves and powder. As it develops, wood comes out, vanilla, and more powder. There is also a warm quality, which could be from the minuscule amounts of amber. On me, I find it is very soft and skin like. Reminds of my grandmother’s guest rooms how they were dusty yet welcoming.
eon694intitytek – :
Smoky amber like Ebolario’s one, but more flowery and almost light-fruity.
It’s a more joyful and youthful version of Ambraliquida, like a girl of 27 instead of a woman of 45; they’re on borderline, to leave the youthful the first one, to enter the mature age the second.
I love both.

This and Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan are my two holy grail amber scents. Very warm and rich, just the perfect balance of amber/patchouli and vanilla. It gets tons of compliments!

Many long years ago, when I was but a charming maid, I bought a very pretty little wooden box, about 1.5′ x 1″, with a pierced wooden top inlaid with brass. In that box was a chunk of amber that I think was intended to be used as a dry perfume, something you would rub behind your ears maybe. I can’t remember if I bought it in a co-op or an apothecary’s or a head shop (does that make it more likely that it was a head shop?). I still have it. Over the years the amber has dried out and become a mass of glinting fibers, but it still smells terrific, like sweet, dessicated woody-powder.
Amber Reminiscence is more like that amber than any other amber perfume I’ve ever encountered. It’s rich and lasting and deep. I don’t smell much of anything other than amber in this, a bit of musk, maybe, a touch of vanilla’s richness, but the amber is so good and so mouth-watering that it hardly matters. A very good perfume for situations where a pefumey perfume would be inappropriate.
Edit: I wore this all day, to a party no less, and for me the sillage is perfect, about arm’s legnth. I’ve never wanted to drag a trail of scent behind me, making eyes water wherever I go. And it’s been eight hours, and I can still smell it when I move. Really lovely.

On my skin it opens up with a kind of soapy-shampoo scent. I don’t get the amber at all. An amber based perfume to me must be very rich and deep like Ambre Sultan. In the drydown it gets a little better, kind of powdery.
asr95 – :
Softest amber I’ve encountered yet. It has that well worn-in quality I also have found in Annick Goutal Musc Nomade, but feels like an old leather sofa or pair of gloves rather than soft fabric, if that makes sense. Very, very comfortable and comforting to wear. There’s something in the smell I recognize but can’t place, something well-known to me-but what?
Full-bottle worthy!
tiestovp – :
Many years ago this was what a very dear friend of mine used to wear. So for me its THE Amber I compare all other Ambers with. And of course, I want it.
hjggfgfd – :
Really nice and elegant
Also reminds me of baby Johnson shampoo

I had read somewhere that many French women wear this fragrance, and I have great respect for French women’s taste and style. I also love amber tremendously so I purchased this blindly. Ambre has a wonderful quality of being both spicy and rich as well as sparkling and somewhat fresh. This gives the fragrance a great radiance. The drydown on me has a slight reference to Guerlain’s Mitsouko or Chamade, I’m not sure which. This is such an easy fragrance to wear and compared to other ambers that I have tried, Reminiscence Ambre is light and bright while retaining just enough of that earthy hippie vibe.
rudi700 – :
it is an “old” perfume, but really not an old fashioned one. i was surprised how god this one smells. it’s strong, but in a kind of calming way. After an hour patchouli comes out, and i can imagine that this perfume was hippies’ favorite :). In that moment i smell (or feel) something that all perfumes from 70-ties have. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s something that puts that great perfume in that era, and makes him one of my favorites.

The opening spiciness scared me a little – that geranium note is strong. But it settles into a balmy amber that simply melts into your skin. It’s a little bit powdery, and the sandalwood is fairly noticeable too. Thankfully it’s not medicinal as amber tends to be, maybe because there’s no real amber in this according to the pyramid anyway.
Sillage is nice but it doesn’t have huge projection, which is fine. A perfectly good amber scent. I like Prada Amber better though, it’s a bit sweeter and a little more interesting.
gte117bedyWelty – :
this one is too much balmy for me! I love deep perfumes, balmy and spicy but this one is way too heavy and not that young in my opinion. It gave me a huge headache every time i tried to wear it and to give it another chance, so i gave it away at the end. Too much balm and spices…too much patchouli and labdanum.
utilizator – :
This is the best amber I’ve tried so far! It even beats L’Occitane’s Amber imo (and that one is strong, ladies and gents). Very warm..Smells like fire- I think that’s how some God/Goddess of fire would smell like in ancient Greece. The staying power is very good too..
Just like other creations from this house it might be great for layering with other frags if you feel like adding a little something to it.
PS’ This smells lovely on a man!
GOD83 – :
Strong smell, really classy but sexy.
Don’t have it, yet, but this one is on the wishlist.

I didn’t expect this perfume to be created in 1970. It’s older than me actually.
It’s a very interesting amber scent.
I’m not sure if amber should be a warm or cold note, but this amber is quite cold smelling in the background, like cold powder. It’s very rich and intense at first spray and then it slowly gets smoother and smoother on skin. Especially the labdanum as ambery note is very evident, then vanilla and a tonka bean edge even if no tonka bean is listed.
This scent holds a special place in my heart for no reason. It simply gives me a kind of soothing feeling and feminine comfort.
It’s an all-feminine scent, like the scent of a doll with more oomph. I don’t know if it can be considered a sexy scent, but it’s surely cuddling and a little bit teasing.
It gives me an image of a rich romantic teenager’s bedroom full of white lace curtains and white comfy linen. Comfortable, sweet and young at heart.
Longlasting and with a good sillage.
