Is Vanille by Réminiscence still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued, which has made it a sought-after item for collectors and fans of the Réminiscence house.
How does this differ from the newer Vanille Santal by the same brand?+−
Vanille Santal focuses more on a creamy, woody, and slightly smoky incense profile, whereas this original Vanille is fruitier, more floral, and features a prominent powdery texture from heliotrope and osmanthus.
Is this a very sweet "cupcake" style fragrance?+−
While it is a sweet gourmand featuring praliné and tonka bean, it is not a literal food-like scent. The inclusion of bergamot, jasmine, and white musk gives it a more sophisticated, "perfumey" feel rather than a pure sugary aroma.
What season is best for wearing this?+−
Though it contains the warmth of bourbon vanilla and benzoin which excel in fall and winter, the bright floral and osmanthus top notes make it surprisingly popular for spring and even summer compared to heavier, darker vanillas.
