Description
During 2012 Reminiscence presented another fragrance joining the gourmand collection Les Notes Gourmandes. The fragrance is inspired by almond candies with sugar coating. This delicate composition accentuates floral essences surrounded with gourmand notes.
Top notes of Dragéee incorporate essences of Italian mandarin, Tunisian petitgrain and Guatemala cardamom. Floral notes of the heart highlight romantic and cheerful character. A blend of almond blossom and Egyptian orange blossom create a sweet and seductive floral heart surrounded with gourmand and dark notes of plum. The base encompasses musk, vanilla and cedar.
The fragrance is available in a characteristic and very romantic flacon, just like other editions of the Gourmandes collection. White color and gold details were selected for flacon of the new Dragéee. It is available as 100ml eau de parfum

This is sweet almond candy heaven! Reminiscence picked the perfect name for this scent ~ it truly does smell like the confection it’s named after. It’s that moment when you bite an almond dragee in half and the scent of the freshly broken hard candy shell and creamy almond wafts up your nose. It’s a gourmand treat but fresh and light; there’s nothing heavy nor cloying about this fragrance. Longevity is slightly deceiving because just when I think it’s completely faded away, I get treated to a whiff of this yummy smell. Sllage is moderate, about arm’s length. I’m crushing on this one pretty heavily right now…I wish I could just bathe in this deliciousness all day…yum!

If this was available in your grocery store, this must be the best almond milk in town.
It contains the freshest flower extracts, grown organically. Fragrant, delicious and healthy.
I could drink this every morning for breakfast.
~~~ Oh, almond milk… gulp, gulp, gulp…

It smells like oriental cakes, probably thanks to orange blosson and almond. Thee bottle makes me feel like I’m using a cold bottle of almond milk : it’s white and fresh. It lasts all day long and at the end of the day the vanilla is predominant. It reminds me of my grandma… she would have loved this perfume !

I really love this but can’t shake the memory of an ex that it brings up- he wore Gaultier male and Dolce & Gabbana (original) , and smoked blunts of the grape and strawberry cigarillos… smells like all of this combined. In the best way, if it weren’t for the memory!

Had never heard of this brand when I recently saw it in store. Sprayed it on me out of curiosity and half an hour later couldn’t take my nose off my wrist! Sweet, delicious, very almondy and I can also detect the citrus. It reminds me of a summer version of my all time favourite hypnotic poison by Dior. However, It lasts longer on the clothes than on the skin, which is not a problem for me. I just found my scent for summer 2017!

Good description below that this is a fluffy almond meringe. A very fun fragrance. Sweet but not overwhelming, reminds you of a really light almondy jammy dessert.

As a lover of all things almond this should be absolutely perfect for me, but unfortunately my skin just eats it up and leaves a synthetic medicinal smell behind.

I have never seen such a small dislike bar on Fragrantica before. This is the fluffiest, most lovely almond meringue you can imagine. It is irresistible. It reminds me of the marshmallow note of Just Cavalli Gold without the hazelnut. I LOVE this stuff.

Amore a
prima annusata! Lo amo questo profumo, e il mio preferito in assoluto, l unico problema è che non persiste giusto un’ora e basta. Non è possibile. Cmq come profumazione secondo me è meravigliosa.

If you like sweets, it`s a dream which came true!
Apparently not a childish dream, no pictures of a little princess or a young hero layered in their faces and bodies with chocolate:)
Not at all: it`s more serious with Dragee.A bit sophisticated sweetness. Almonds mixed with vanilla and a hint of musk are delicious, playful, almost inviting to taste them.Crunchy,fresh almonds like a candy or cake powdered with sugar.
Dragee is a bit foggy, dense and immediately after application envelopes you in a pleasant, sweet and seductive cloud.I find opening a bit milky in a good way.White flowers and fruits appear in the heart.First ones are about some elegance-the concept is similar like in Cornubia where vanilla and almonds are replaced with heliotrope.Fruits bring some freshness.Mandarin is a bit obvious but a plum is smooth, ripe,sweet,juicy,violet and yellow inside (I`m probably an incurable plum lover-all my favourite perfumes contain it;).Mixing plum with vanilla is an idea similar to Venezia by LB.A hint of spices and woodsy notes in the base prevent Dragee from cloying effect.
What seems most important the ingredients are natural, no impression of overpowering or anything synthetic.
So …Delicious,powdery,intriguing, calming and lifting up scent.I can imagine it in a chilly midwinter morning.Or evening. It`s smart and not childish.Living proof that a good gourmand without chocolate/cacao/praline might be created.

Smells like synthetic marshmallows on me! Not what I was expecting at all, but very nice!
EDIT: This is actually what I thought Mi Fa would smell like. Suprise suprise!

I have a sample of this, purchased because I like gourmand fragrances and powdery perfumes, but while I did get compliments on it from others, I could not tolerate it. I have no idea why but to my nose there is something Ben-Gay medicinal about it. Like a too strong minty powder. This is powerful in an obnoxious way and even with the compliments I received I could never wear this.

when i spray it on my skin was like going in a garden full of orange and almond trees….very gourmand i can detect very strongly almond and orange and it seems to my like an enchanting dance between two lover because the two notes are perfectly balanced together and do not dominate one on the other.i think is the best of reminiscence notes gourmand and it lasts on my skin after the shower, so it has got a strong lasting power.
i do not like so much sweet perfumes but this combination could be worn more easily.

Very beautiful, trully gourmand to me.
I love creamy, velvety fragrances and this is not a such one.
It’s like baking almond/ vanilla cakes in bathroom full of musky/ oranges steam 🙂
Thanks for trying it, dear F. member, really nice smelling experience.

I ve waited so long to smell this in Italy, it was unfoundable!!! And now I am ready to say just a thing about it: it smells exactly the same, and I mean THE SAME!! of Acqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia…Ok, it’ s beautiful for the gourmand lovers like me, sweet in the sweetest way, a beautiful foggy almond like the one in Hypnotic Poison, surrounded by petitgrain, but the truth is that it s nothing more than a copy…….Acqua di Parma has alwais left on my skin a strange oily film, so, I prefer this, even if whith such a name I was expecting for something completely new and never smelled before..Reminiscence, try it again!!!

Dragées are one of my favorite treats , so i was expecting much from this perfume, but unfortunately I really don’t get any almond note at all !
For me it’s just a disapointing white floral …
I’ll give it another chance however .

I just tried this in a store, and I have to say I don’t lile it very much…I was expecting to feel much vanilla in it, but I can feel only a lot of almond.
bidornab – :
This smells very very nice, I detect right away the almonds, they pretty much dominate the scent, it goes then to a sweet to die for base, a mix of plum, a hint of florals , my issue is that it isn’t developing much, but it smells very pretty, it isn’t an outstanding scent, I feel it is a bit expensive for what it is, but if I find a bottle at a good price, will definitely buy it, it smells so delicious, so much like the french dragées we used to get at certain celebrations, like weddings, baptism, communions!! Lovely! Creative idea!!
