The smell of the beach from a distance
I live at about 6 miles away from the beach and this is exactly what I smell when, in summer, the beach is crowded with people enjoying their day there and when the wind comes from the sea.
I always think of Reminiscence as a house that makes scents for reminiscing and with Rem EDT they are spot on when it comes to that feeling of happiness that summer is finally there.
I don't feel like this is a perfume, it is a scent. It smells a bit salty, but at the same time a bit sweet (not cloying!) and dreamy; like the smell of the sea, mixed with scented sun tan lotions (though this does not smell like sun tan lotion at all, so don't expect anything like EL Sun Goddess or Guerlain Terracotta ).
I'm surprised to see the low ratings for sillage and longevity though! In fact, with this EDT, I'm very careful not to overspray because I find it very strong and long lasting. It is a very distinct scent and if you spray too much, you may feel 'locked in' and self conscious about what others may think and it will just loose it's beauty. I spray only a little on my chest and a little on my lower back.
That way, I get pleasant whiffs of it now and then and people ask me what I am wearing, telling me they love it.
I remember how I discovered this scent: I was purchasing something else, but had looked around in the shop and had sprayed a tiny little spray of Rem on my forearm. When I left the shop and unlocked my bike, I thought: "What is this gorgeous scent I'm smelling?!"
It obviously was Rem because I had not tried anything else and had no perfume on me that day and, though feeling a little embarassed, I went back to the shop and changed my initial purchase for Rem :-).
