By the mole
A little cricket had been making music all summer. She had fiddled, fiddled and fiddled. But when winter came and it got cold, she realized that she had neither supplies nor a roof over her head.
So she went to the head forester, the stag beetle, and begged him to let her stay with him through the winter. " Nah, nah ", he said, " fiddling around all summer and not caring about anything but then living at other people's expense, you can forget it ! " Then the cricket went to the squirrel, which now really had supplies for 4 winters but also here she flashed under the words " Who does not care also gets nothing ! ".
Now she trudged to the mole, who lived in a basement apartment. " Oh, visitors ! How wonderful! Feel free to come a little closer, my eyesight is so poor." She gladly entered, not only was the mole super friendly, his place smelled quite wonderful. Threaded vanilla beans were strung throughout the apartment and there was a pot of heliotrope soup on the stove. When the Mole recognised the cricket, he was even more pleased, as he had often listened to her playing in the summer. "Why don't you play your violin?" and the cricket fiddled and the stove banged. They cooked themselves an iris tea to go with the vanilla blossom soup, and sometimes there was a little patchouli for each of them. In the evening they sat on the warm, soft sofa, drank hot clay calade, read together and never, never quarreled. So the winter flew by like a day, it was probably the most beautiful in their whole lives .

'Réminiscence Vanille' is total vanilla power. Vanilla , vanilla flowers and only if you smell very closely you can recognize the patchouli. The scent is not overly sweet or sticky, it seems rather creamy and rich due to musk and tonka. In addition, he remains very close to the skin.
My fragrance it is not, for vanilla lovers but probably a pleasure, because it comes so subtle and unkitschy. A warm- spicy- winter- Wanille , cuddly as on Mole's sofa.

*With the support of Janosch, who became 90 this week.

Challenge in Advent: On the way to "my" vanilla scent - 2 December 2019
I can tell you right now - today it's not going to work out with the vanilla and me. With the Reminiscence vanilla, I have no chance despite the wish to like it: I simply don't like the scent.
It is a very cold morning, and since I have to work on Mondays only in the late morning, I took a wonderful dog walk in the very early morning. It was still dark and then slowly became light - dawn in Advent, the landscape covered with a magic frost, as if dipped in sugar. Filigree ice crystals and the vanilla scent of the day. But unfortunately: At most I can discover reminiscences of vanilla in the reminiscence vanilla. Although my cold nose this morning is very fresh and clear, I notice something powdery above all, even in large quantities. Powder and a flower I don't know - maybe the vanilla flower? Since I haven't been here long, I have to struggle to learn to differentiate the individual components of a perfume, and of course I don't presume to be able to say anything really informative here. I can only formulate my impression. And here I come to the conclusion that this vanilla scent is not what I am looking for: I don't find it as a winter cuddly scent and not as gourmandig-sweet, I honestly don't register the praline at all. I have two different bottlings, one of which I tried yesterday before going to bed, but both are no different - for me the vanilla is rather subtle. That's a bit embarrassing, because the fragrance is so highly praised here - but for me it's just the same. I would probably wear it in spring or autumn, because I perceive more flowers as gourmand - and above all this almost obtrusive powder tone. That's the reason why I won't wear the fragrance at all, because I simply don't like this tone in this combination.
So the result for today is positive in the sense that I am now even more excited about the other vanilla fragrances. What a range of vanilla interpretations has now resulted for me from the two fragrances alone - Eau des Missions and this one! It remains exciting!
Tomorrow I'll test Coco Vanilla from Place des Lices!

Meeting of the island beauties
They therefore come with space-filling steps and loosely swinging arms, not timidly, not tripping - they appear and have no intention of appearing fragile and transparent: the vanilla goddesses!
They are self-confident, surrounded by their own personal fragrances.
Opulent, protruding body and dressed in creamy white.
They are reminiscent of classic well-proportioned marble statues, interspersed with delicate light brown and golden streaks.
To consider these beings even remotely for the choice of the next "top model" would be pure mockery: they are not raisins, they are plump, juicy and powerful grapes!

"Vanilla" by "Reminiscence" appears almost violent: already after the first spraying there can be no doubt - divine vanilla rules here!
Venus has gathered her warm-smelling playmates from the tropical islands around her.
"Vanilla in power!" is her message! What else?

It is a warming, cuddly and yet not tender vanilla fragrance creation that I meet here.
Powerful and impressive in its complex physicality: one could almost believe, except for the vanilla sisters, nobody plays along here.
But some fragrances may accompany the ladies dressed in their flowing, sweeping garments:
Bergamot and osmanthus initially try to bring a touch of fruity and spicy lightness to this creamy overall creation.
Bourbon vanilla pushes by, however, not exactly ladylike she uses her elbows, and remains in the foreground with the also quite heavy dark purple aroma of the so-called "vanilla flower" (heliotrope); spreads out there, settles in!
Jasmine, actually not exactly a silent treader in the fragrance, lifts its head briefly, but then retreats:
All that remains is a memory of these beautiful white flowers with the golden sun faces.
Feel all the sisters and other relatives of the extended vanilla family seem to gather on this unique fragrance island.
Nobody wants to stand back, everyone is pushing as if there were no tomorrow - female power games! Whew! Sensitive souls should perhaps consider whether they want to take up this challenge after all. You must really love her, this white vanilla beauty, not to be slain by her!
Patchouli truly succeeds in leaving some golden-brown streaks in the creamy-creamy fragrance of these vanilla sisters. A brave fellow and very much appreciated by me for a long time already.
But with praline, tonka bean and lots and lots of white musk the fraction of sweet heaviness regains the upper hand: "Vanilla" from Reminiscence wants to stay sweet and a little sticky!
This is their claim!

It is easy to give in to this concentrated white fragrance. It promises warmth and sweetness, promises a cuddly pillow, a fluffy blanket, a delicious foam bath: who doesn't like that?
But at the same time she spins a net of fragrances of slightly sticky threads of sensuality and finally demands total devotion!

"Vanilla" dominates for hours! Every now and then one of the "strangers" appears briefly in the fragrance: sometimes it's a hint of bergamot, an osmanthus tea blossom squints around the corner.
A true family meeting of the different and yet so related vanilla scents gives special moments extraordinary scent experiences!
"Vanilla" does not shine, does not glow; the fragrance is creamy white and matt, rich and creamy - almost a bit thick
Conclusion:
For vanilla-scented fans, "Vanilla" by Reminiscence is a gallant feast for the senses!
Powerful, overwhelming, erotic - just fucking feminine!

Sweet vanilla
A famous perfumer is said to have once said: "Men love vanilla. That's why the whores of this world smell of vanilla." Vanilla makes me think of sensual things, of cuddling and seduction. Sexy fragrances such as Dior Addict and Tobacco Vanilla give vanilla refined sexiness and something creamy. Vanilla caresses, embraces and is warm. Vanilla is there for the big show: today we're talking about Reminiscence's vanilla fragrance, which has implemented the vanilla theme. I have blindly soughed up this scent because I love vanilla so much. And from the dear Parfuma there was also a fragrance for free. Many thanks at this point to Ambrosia! This fragrance starts with a dominant osmanthus note that smells like the golden osmanthus bath additive of Dresden essence. But vanilla is also present from the very beginning. As soon as the fragrance merges into the heart note, the fragrance becomes more pleasing and softer. Vanilla is dominant. Not very sweet, rather powdery, warm and flattering. Flowery notes join them. According to the pyramid, heliotrope, jasmine and vanilla blossom are responsible for this. It smells fine, harmonious and balanced. This fragrance is not a sexy Wummser like the above fragrances. Rather a sensually playful gourmand, which I really like.
A poem:

A fine note
springs from it Of fresh vanilla pod
In addition there are flowers fine
This fragrance must be for the evening
But also during the day it fits well
To a dress like to the hat
A sensual playful fragrance
Waves temptingly through the air

Cuir Beluga's summery, happy-go-lucky cousin!
From the name "Vanille" I assumed this would be a simple vanilla scent, but there's more to it.
Vanilla is present right from the start, but I also get a lot of osmanthus and exotic florals. The osmanthus gives the scent a wonderful fuzzy peach skin note in the opening. Later as the scent dries down, the tonka bean turns more noticeable. It adds a layer of sweet powder, but also a kind of fizzy, cheerful hint of cherry. The benzoin and praline make the base extra warm. I can't say that I get a lot of patchouli or musk here, this is more of a smooth, balsamic, gourmandish vanilla with fruity accents.
The powdery vanilla drydown really reminds me of Cuir Beluga, but as I said, they're cousins, not twins. Cuir Beluga feels more serious and wintery with its beautiful soft suede note. Vanille could be worn year round, but the florals and phantom fruits remind me of summer, and it's a more uplifting scent.

I'm a bit sad I only discovered this after it was discontinued. Reminiscence makes such nice fragrances and they're usually very affordable. Hope they'll bring this back one day.

Great light vanilla scent. Not so Gourmand, great for men too. Leans a lot against La Stanza delle Bambole from Nobile 1942, I mean a lot.

A perfect floral vanilla with citrus and heliotrope. Very elegant. A good alternative to Guerlain's Cuir Beluga, with better longevity.

A little disappointed: the "medicinal" vanilla note covers the oriental base accord. Anyway a warm fall-winter scent with a good sillage
