Rem Coco Reminiscence for women

Note that the weather is cold and miserable at this moment. Rain, wind and hail - not the ideal weather for testing a perfume which channels beach-y vibes. But here I am on my sofa... and the tide has just come in, bringing in a wash of soft coconut, vanilla and sun-baked skin. If I close my eyes I can almost feel the hot sand underfoot and the sound of children playing in the distance. Truly a virtual trip to the beach when the weather is miserable

It's a very simple scent, but really nice if you're into salty and coconuty perfumes. The saltiness in particular is very prominent, which is quite enjoyable if you just want to smell clean. I wouldn't say that it's coconut-dominating though, so you should probably look somewhere else if that is what you're looking for. It has sea notes, and I am reminded of the coastal air when I wear it, and the way the skin and hair starts smelling after being exposed to the sun and the heat and the salty and bitter wind. I grew up near a coast, so this evokes pleasant nostalgia in me, and thus the perfume is very enjoyable in its simplicity.
If you enjoyed JHAG Vanilla Vibes or Clean Reserve Skin and would like something similar, but much cheaper (and much saltier), Rem Coco scratches that itch really well! The price tag is great, and the frosted glass bottle pretty. I was a bit unsure about it when I bought it, but after having it my collection for 2 months I am pretty happy with it.

Ok, enough of testing, i get it i just don’t like that type of coconut scents.
It’s like coconut water with sea or seaweed and with a lotion smell. Reminds me more Le Monde Gourmand Coco than JHAG Vanilla vibes as the last one doesn’t have obvious sea note as far as I remember. Vanilla vibes was just meh for me , but at least tolerable, while this one is a no for me.

After hearing (well, reading) that this one was *the* coconut smell, I was so happy when I finally got the chance to try it.

Unfortunately, it was a grave disappointment.

1. The scent immediately became a skin scent.
2. There was no coconut note detectable.
3. It didn't last even the time it took me to go from the ground floor of the department store to its 2nd floor.

😕
Just... no.

This was a blind buy, a good one!!!.. This basically smells like coconut water, it is sweet, coconutty but also fresh and extremely salty.. Like the salty note you can find in Olimpea or in JHAG Vanilla Vibes. Absolutely good for summer vacations, for summer nights, or for a pic nic in the countryside. I like to wear it also during the winter together with Verace Crystal noir which is also a coconut fragrance. It has nothing in common with the original Rem which is ozonic and has another kind of sweet freshness. A very good daytime scent.

I was looking for a fresh and salty coconut scent. But I feel like you can't really smell the coconut? It is a clean and fresh scent but not sweet at all and sadly to me this smells like some bathroom cleaning product :((

This was a blind buy after reading mentions of it on a Fragrantica review! I don't like sweet suntan lotiony coconut fragrances, and I love aquatic freshies....and this is an amazing combo of the two. I get fresh and clean, I get CREAMY coconut, and a light sweetness that is more natural than all that flower sweet intensity in other tropical/beachy frags. And even a wee touch of vanilla in that light sweetness. The beachy marine notes are not overpowering minerals but very pleasant. It's cool and fresh as well as sensual in an easygoing way. Truly love this scent. This is a dream come true for me after searching for this kind of coconut especially as I live in a hot climate in the southern Mediterranean. I'm going to need a bigger bottle the second I finish this 50ml. So glad to have discovered this French house....will definitely be trying others from Reminiscence!

Aquatic coconut water (not milk) that is slightly sweet and salty. There is a fine balance between all three of these aspects. Slightly beachy, but more like a rocky/sandy beach or grove with a cool breeze rather than the tropical sunscreen and flowers you'll get with other fragrances like TF's Soleil Blanc or Guerlain's Terracotta that are obviously evocative of a tropical location. This was a surprising blind buy win, I love it because it's not too powerful - you can spray a lot without feeling overwhelmed. Really, a lovely cool-girl daytime summer scent. It's also not too sweet, which is a big issue with summer fragrances for me. I love sweet but only in the winter.

This is fresh, sweet and longlasting coconut scent. Vanilla is another note that comes out strongly. It is my best coconut scent (I've got Dolce Garden, La vie est belle soleil cristal, Dangerous woman, Miami glow and Cloud, they are quite good also. In this scent nothing bothers me). I don't like many aquatics usually, but this is very nice. On my skin it lasts some hours, on my clothers it lasts even days.

I would wear it day&night, mostly during spring and summer time, perhaps also in the autumn. Bottle design is very appealing, the cap is like a piece of ice and the bottle is like "flesh" of coconut. with turquoise and brown letters. My bottle is 50 ml, I need a bigger bottle and I'll get it this summer.

After reading endless reviews and trying to find my purest type of coconut smell I’ve gone with this. I want a coconut dominant fragrance not one that hides in the background.
I own cocobello and that is nice but I need more clean feeling of the coconut.
I am also considering dolce garden etc and other coconut frags like creed viw but want less tropical aspects. Let’s see how I get on…
First impression: it’s salty. That’s the main thing I smell. I can smell seaweed. NO coconut 🥥 😕 disappointed. This is all about the sea notes and solar notes. It does fortunately warm up but the end into a slight sweet musky smell but it’s just a bit meh to me.
I can’t detect any coconut. I keep imaging that I can smell coconut to trick my senses into actually smelling it but it’s no use I just can’t smell it. To my nose it smells like Calvin Klein reveal. Will see if the smell changes into something more coconutty. Right now I’m underwhelmed, it’s not a bad fragrance. It’s just like a lighter version of reveal and don’t feel I need both. Will edit this in 2024 summer months.

Think of Rem Coco as your finest creamy and yummy coconut water. Light but insanely yummy and summery.
I don't seem to smell the floral notes quoted on the olfactory pyramid, but I get that sea/ocean side coconut fresh dream.
It is an EDT so it's light and I think perfect for a trip to the seaside, The coconut nectar and milk are the dominant notes, then you get the kinda salty aspect from the sea and solar notes, and a slight creaminess with the vanilla and musk.
I can't wait to spritz it on my way to the French East Coast ocean this summer, it's light but it doesn't feel like you sprayed nothing on your skin, it's perfect so you don't get overwhelmed by the notes in the heat of summer.
It has that creamy coconut water vibe with the different aspects of the coconut and the vanilla.

It really is a solid 8/10 easy reach fragrance for hot summer days by the sea/ocean side !!

This is a basic beachy vanilla coconut. Don’t love it but it’s okay. Will be nice in the summer. Reminds me a bit of Coconut Palm by Mixbar. I don’t get any florals in this.

This opens up with a really lovely coconut milk, laconic, sweet. Soon some marine and solar notes emerge, but I wouldn't call them salty, just an air of beach. The scent becomes sweeter as the times goes, and eventually it melts into a pretty common floral -vanilla-coconut base. The juice is totally clear, like water in the bottle, but the silage and lasting power are really good, especially on clothes. A pleasant surprise, but you must like coconut to enjoy this.

NOt being a fan of coconut notes in a fragrance, I got this in a sample for a friend who loves that note. I was very surprised to find that of all the Reminiscence scents I was sampling (I couldn't get the Seawatery Rem, which is my true goal) it was the favorite so far. I don't really get pure true coconut and I don't get sunscreen, which is why I don't much like coconut as a fragrance note, but I get more of a vanilla and fresh ozone note with a faint vanilla musk backing like a body spray. I REALLY like it. I'm so surprised. It is sheer enough to qualify as a You But Better scent because there's not much to it, but lately that's been what I"ve been reaching for. With the cold weather here now, I might use it less, but it really is great in hot weather.

For those of you who are upset that Guerlain's recently released Coconut Fizz is already discontinued and hard to get a hold of, seek this out instead. For a very reasonable price on ebay, I blind bought a bottle. And as soon as I sprayed it on, I knew it was similar to Coconut Fizz, which I sadly only have a 15ml decant of. Once it's gone it's gone, I won't pay hundreds of dollars for a can of Coconut Lacroix in perfume form. Especially when I can get this. Grab it while you can, before the perfume-fluencers on YouTube read our reviews and create a video for their masses and the ebay sellers inevitably jack the prices up, or the remaining stock gets swept up and we're back to square one.

For those of you who don't give two toots for what this is a dupe for, and instead want to know what individual merit this perfume stands on, allow me to focus. The opening of this fragrance is fizzy, it sparkles. There's a fresh coconut water and sea mineral accord. As it begins to warm up on the skin, the coconut takes a turn into creamy shampoo town. This begins to smell like a bottle of Suave. Think Miami Glow without the passionfruit. Thankfully, a crisp watermelon note begins to temper the coconut and keep it from becoming some cheapened sweet mess you might smell at Bath & Body Works. This works quite well with salty, perhaps even sweaty skin, so long as that skin is still clean and well groomed. Into the dry down the coconut begins to exit left stage and leaves the watermelon rind drifting in the ocean. It threatens to become too sweet, too synthetic but it never quite crosses that line, and for that I'm thankful.

Looking at the fragrance across it's entire wear time (a modest 4-6 hours with sillage gradually diminishing throughout), I'd say that it's more of a 75% suitable replacement for Coconut Fizz. This one relies on oceanic/aquatic notes more heavily than Guerlain's, and the coconut doesn't stay center stage for the entire duration of the fragrance. It also begins with the same uncanny sparkling water sensation that CF does, but within an hour or two, that fizzles out. Performance is good, but Coconut Fizz was also surprisingly well lasting on my skin for an Aqua Allegoria. Maybe don't buy this looking for a spot-on dupe, but if you loved the Guerlain dearly and don't know what you'll do when your bottle is gone for good, wait a few months and allow the memory of that one to fade, then pick up a bottle of this (If you can still find it). If you're just looking for a refreshing summer coconut fragrance you can spray with abandon, give Rem Coco a try. I believe this is what our friends on the forum would call a hidden gem. Rem, you're a gem. I'll see myself out.

this is sweet and salty with coconut and sea/solar notes. it smells like a day at the beach. i get a hint of vanilla and floral notes but they're supporting in the background. it dries down to mostly vanilla, coconut and sea/salt notes. i tend to not like most aquatics but this one is a bit better than the usual, IMO.

Here I am again to describe Rem Coco after a few days, in a more convinced way.
The opening of the perfume is definitely coconut nectar, fresh, realistic, delicate, nothing to do with the stereotypical and excessively vanilla scents typical of many sun screen. After this opening, in a few minutes the marine accord comes to the fore, salty, decisive and a little dark, which harmoniously joins the coconut without ever overpowering it or making it disappear completely. The first day it seemed to me that coconut succumbed to the note of sea, but now I see it's always there, throughout the evolution of the perfume, from start to the end, it gently sweetens everything like something creamy, an elegant echo that never disappears .
This perfume is very good, I no longer feel anything synthetic as it happened on the first day. Perhaps because I was addicted to a much more sunny and Mediterranean type of marine scent, different from this one, the first time I wore Rem Coco I didn't mind It, but it didn't impress me either.
Now it seems to me to have framed it better. Perhaps due to the lack of citrus or herbaceous and dry notes such as bergamot, galbanum or helichrysum, this reminds me of a more humid atmosphere, a partially covered sky, the charm of a darker sea, screeching seagulls flying around wrecks of ancient abandoned ships on the beach.
In spite of the presence of coconut, my nose doesn't catch anything tropical in this perfume. it reminds me more of the air I breathe on the Breton coasts.
Very nice Rem Coco, very charming. I hope it won't be discontinued in the future.

EDIT: Sillage and longevity are much more high than the original Rem. Strange.

I'ts been my last blind buy and fortunately I'm not too disappointed.
I like very much the first ten minutes: I smell a fresh coco nectar, not too sweet or gourmand, it's very natural, and the sea notes are in the background. After ten minutes the marine notes rise to the foreground, not too realistic or salty, a bit synthetic but not unpleasant. I must let it develop on my skin to give an opinion, there are moments i love it and moments It leaves me perplexed. If i spray It on the wrist I feel a strange sensation of freshener car, as wrote by Mezzetino. If i put It on the outside of the arms, the fragrance Is much more beautiful.
In terms of longevity and sillage, I have to wait an external opinion to better understand. All in all I like it and wear it willingly, also because I decided to take a break from Fior di Salina, a wonderful perfume of which I have been drunk in recent days, and which has created me a real addiction.
Anyway, these are only my first impressions because I only received the perfume today. I'll be writing about Rem Coco again soon.

@Mezzetino: if you want to smell a realistic and enchanting marine beachy fragrance, try Fior di Salina by L'Erbolario and let It develop on your skin. I think you will not be disappointed, it's marvelous.

A salty, fresh, coconut blast! Dries with very slight florals and some vanilla, but retains the delicious fresh and salty coconut throughout.
Absolutely unusual and lovely.
Can’t wait to wear it in summer!

It definitely has the original Rem DNA. Salty, aquatic, spicy and sllightly masculine. What sets this one apart from the original is the sweetness of the coconut and that they toned down the spices. This gives Rem Coco a warmer, sunnier feel. Like going for a swim in the ocean with a lovely coconut flavored suntain lotion on.

I like this a lot because it is fresh and very unique amongst the coconut scents and because it is amazingly long-lasting for an EDT. But if coconut makes you think of creamy tropical gourmands and sweet, nectar-dripping florals then you should give this one a pass because this is quite the opposite.

I don’t understand why these perfumers can’t just make coconut. They always have to ruin it with white florals. I guess it’s because that’s what sells to the masses, but it sucks for me. This one is definitely a scrubber.

Salty, sweet, fresh and "barber-kind" musky.
Like more aquatic Kenzo World Power, but with coconut. Great sillage and longevity to be edt. Definitely unisex!!
My new favorite for the summer.

Well, this one is interesting. Fresh and sweet in the same time . At first , you can feel powerful Marine notes, after that salt with coconut milk , something bitter- sweet, not gourmand, something white special and beautiful for a summer day. You can also feel solar notes , but no musk or vanilla. About longevity, maybe 4 5 hours , you cannot compare it here with the edp, but it's really a beautiful combo. ♥️
