Reminiscence Les Notes Gourmandes Dragée Eau de Parfum 50ml is a sweet, delicately gourmand floral fragrance from the French bohemian-luxury fragrance house Reminiscence. Inspired by the iconic French sugared-almond "dragée" sweet, the composition pairs a sparkling citrus-and-cardamom opening with a beautifully delicate almond-blossom-and-orange-blossom heart — settling into a sumptuous vanilla, tonka bean and white musk drydown.
About Reminiscence
Reminiscence was founded in 1970 in Juan-les-Pins on the French Riviera by Nino Amaddeo and his muse Zoé Coste. The brand is famous for its free-spirited, sun-soaked Mediterranean attitude and its evocative scent compositions. The Les Notes Gourmandes collection is the brand's dedicated gourmand line — built around sweet, dessert-themed compositions executed with refined French perfumery craftsmanship.

The character of the scent
Dragée opens with a soft, lightly spiced citrus accord — sparkling mandarin paired with the green sophistication of petitgrain and the gently spicy warmth of cardamom. The heart unfolds into the fragrance's true charm: a beautifully delicate combination of almond blossom and orange blossom, sweetened by a soft sugared-almond accord that brings the dragée concept to life. The drydown is a sumptuous, comforting finish — vanilla, tonka bean and clean white musk for a sweet second-skin warmth.
Key benefits
- Delicately gourmand floral character — sweet without being cloying.
- Distinctive almond-blossom-and-sugared-almond signature — unusual and charming.
- Eau de Parfum concentration — strong longevity in a 50ml flacon.
- French bohemian-luxury heritage from a respected niche-adjacent house.
- Beautifully presented Reminiscence flacon — gift-worthy.
Who it's for
Dragée is for women who love sweet, refined gourmand-floral fragrances — fans of Prada Candy, Mugler Angel Nova, or Diptyque Eau Duelle will recognise the family. The almond-blossom-and-sugared-almond signature makes it especially well-suited to those who love French confectionery-inspired fragrances. Particularly suited to autumn and winter wear, date nights and special occasions — but works year-round for sweet-floral lovers.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — moisturiser holds the vanilla-tonka drydown for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the delicate floral heart.
- Layer with the matching body care for an even longer-lasting signature.
