Not like Rem EDT, but lovely!

For those who have known L'Eau de Monteil by Germaine Monteil, this is the closest to that, I ever came across. Ofcourse it is not the same, but it is very, very close to it. So if you miss that one, you really might like this!
Don't expect this to be a stronger version of REM EDT. (the EDT doesn't need to be stronger I think, so nothing lost) because this is quite different. More 'flowery aquatic' than the EDT which is more 'mediterranean aquatic' and more reminiscent of the sea and the beach.
This is also aquatic, but in a very enchanting, dreamy and feminine way, a bit 'fairytale-like' and way, way more feminine than the EDT.

Oddities

Everyone registered here surely has their own relationship with perfume and its intended use. Some simply want to smell "good" (and that can range from clean to delicious to erotic to animalistic, depending on personal taste, really anything is possible), others want to wear something special, unusual, and perhaps even cumbersome (or just to smell it, without the intention of wearing it), while yet others want to ensure that primarily they themselves enjoy the scent and do not necessarily scent themselves for the benefit of their surroundings.

I believe that almost every fragrance can be assigned to one of these intentions - from mass-compatible to individually cool to something so specific, I have encountered quite a bit. However, what exactly Rem aims to achieve is a mystery to me. It starts with the pyramid, which makes me suspicious. Maritime notes and lilac with patchouli, vanilla, and tonka bean? What exactly is intended; should the scent actually be floral-aquatic, perhaps rather earthy, or gourmand?
When I apply the fragrance, this very confusion occurs: The scent is a bit of everything, and none of it is really good. The "maritime notes" quickly jab at my nose; I can discern algae, something slightly salty, and this synthetic hint that hovers somewhere between watery and burnt plastic. This is combined with a hefty dose of patchouli, which brings a bit of dug-up earth from the cellar. I also find the tonka bean quite noticeable (much stronger than the vanilla), which adds a balsamic, slightly gourmand nuance. In sum, this is truly absurd and leaves me completely perplexed.

I don't feel good with the scent, but not so bad that I would need to wash it off immediately. It doesn't smell delicious, fresh, floral, skanky, clean, dirty, or animalistic, not extravagant, and not too cumbersome to be wearable... it basically smells like olfactory mush. Everything wobbles into each other and creates an unrecognizable play of colors. And just as a side note: The lilac can't save itself from this soup and sinks without a trace.

I can't complain about the longevity; even 6 hours after application and even after exercising, the stuff clings to my inner elbow like Pattex. The sillage remains (thankfully) moderate.
When I think about it, I’m probably quite glad that I can wash it off right away.

Makes me perplexed

Somehow, I can't make anything of this scent. Just like I couldn't make anything of "Patchouli Blanc" by Réminiscens the other day. A nice fragrance, but Patchouli Blanc had no significance for me.
And so it goes with "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" as well. Moreover, during the second test, I found it somewhat disgusting the whole time. I'm sitting here somewhat begrudgingly because "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" has a good sillage and also very good longevity on me.
Yesterday, I washed it off, and after writing this, I will do so again. Additionally, I smelled "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" here in the room all day today. It was also faintly detectable on my skin all day until I showered, despite washing it off. Therefore, I sprayed it on a different spot and didn't use any other perfume today.
At first, besides this strangely sweet scent, I actually smell something like green mashed slightly anise-like wild herbs with grasses, and at the beginning, there is also a honey note and a hint of lilac flower scent. I also think I perceive a slight smoky note from time to time. Patchouli and additionally resinous-spicy nuances can also be interpreted.
Maritime notes are mentioned. So if there are any, they are probably seaweed scents. I can't eat sushi either because I find the taste and smell of seaweed repulsive.
I'm not sure if the entire blend of "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" itself produces this overwhelming, unpleasant scent that I find disturbing, or if an unnamed or unidentifiable ingredient is responsible for it.
It could be the lilac scent or the woody smell, maybe sandalwood? However, sandalwood is not listed. I usually like musk in fragrances, but mixed with maritime notes?
After a while, I also perceive the vanilla-tonka duo; "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" becomes sweeter, which makes the scent greener and less intrusive for me.
"Rem (Eau de Parfum)" is for those who enjoy scents like "Djehenné" from Parfumerie General (also with lilac) as well as "Bosque" from Humiecki & Graef. For them, this fragrance is certainly an option, and they should test it. I found "Bosque" and "Djehenné" considerably more unbearable. I always had to wash them off quite quickly during the tests.
It is not as extreme with "Rem (Eau de Parfum)".
One must like such fragrances; then "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" is a well-made perfume.
I give it 80% because I can't penalize the scent just because I don't like this fragrance direction. Also, "Rem (Eau de Parfum)" cannot be unreservedly classified as a feminine scent. If I hadn't just looked up, it would never have occurred to me that this scent is meant to be worn only by women.
