Description
Sol La and Si Do by the house of Reminiscence complete the collection “Les Notes Gourmandes”, and accompany the first two editions Do Re and Mi Fa.
Si Do brings a wave of energy with precious flowers, which will fondle your skin and tingle your imagination. The composition is based on iris from Florence, amber and cedar, creating precious, unusual and extremely sensual melody. The perfume opens with accords of orange from Florida, Italian lemon and bergamot.
The heart includes iris from Florence, ambrette, carrot from France, Atlas cedar, cloves from Madagascar and ylang-ylang, while pear, vanilla and musk create a finish. Si Do is coloured in violet nuances with a charming ribbon and it arrives as 100 ml edp.
The two editions, as well as two previous editions from 2008 were created by perfumers Zoe Coste and Jacques Flori (Robertet). The collection “Les Notes Gourmandes” is rounded up and available on the market in its full shine and fragrances.

This is another intriguing creation from Reminiscence, I am enjoying trying the samples!! Si Do is nicely floral, almost in a vintage way , so already no for me, it doesn’t mean it isnt nicely put together, it is harmonious, pretty violet notes, some spiciness also, then the Ylang Ylang, I will say it reminds me of Annick Goutal in the overall aura of the scent, great ingredients, nicely constructed , very floral, I wouldn’t wear it, but it has a certain attractiveness if you like different florals. Nothing sharp about the scent,although I wouldn’t call it sweet, the warmth in the base is pleasant, and the floral notes smell very realistic. I would say this is similar to Florabotanica by Balenciaga

In the first, it was, hmm, but wait fot 10 min. Then there was an explosion on my skin,I love this smell, but i agree, not everybody, likes it, it is the skin,what say to you, Yes or No, but i think that everybody knows that.

For me this smells so extremely wrong, I cannot understand which combination of the notes gives me this creepy, wrong feeling.
So what do I feel? I feel some weird powdery sweetness together with cedar which here is too dry/cloying for me to enjoy. I believe I get some bits of ylang ylang as well as it seems a bit buttery. Anyway – a huge no for me 🙁 I can’t stand it.

I know this must sound strange, but this one is beautyful when there is enough distance between the place you spray it on and the nose…
Smelling it on my skin directly, I don’t find it too appealing, but wearing it on the back of my hand (trying the sample I still had), I now and then get a very pleasent breeze of sweetness.
So if you’re thinking of wearing this, I would advise to spray it anywhere(just a little, because it’s quite strong!) but behind the ears and in the neck…

Absolutely love this scent. Reminds me of childhood – used to put on sunscreen at the pool that smelled a little like this (not in a bad way at all). I pick up more of the musk, iris, carrot, and vanilla on my skin. Citrus notes disappear rather quickly after applying. A very sophisticated and comforting fragrance. Makes me think of sitting in Mrs. Snow’s Victorian parlor in the Disney film Pollyanna (1960) with all the prisms strung in the windows casting rainbows around the room. I would wear this day (mostly) or night in the Summer or Fall. I have a sample now and will be saving up for a bottle.

All I got from Si Do was violet candy. And it was not in a delicious way. It was a dissapointment that this Gourmand perfume too had a synthetic property in the inital spray! Maybe it is the musk they use but its not good. I was so excited to try this but 2 out of 4 is not bad.
