Reminiscence, the perfume house who authored the famous Patchouli, a cult fragrance for an entire generation who discovered in 1970 the unusual Indian oils, has recently introduced another special creation. Original, but light like a musky veil, Jammin' Vibration belongs to a family of bizarre and unusual notes (from wormwood to nard). Built as an airy transparent woody, it is actually the scent of a smoke that surrounds you and transports your thoughts elsewhere. It is that smell! The Bob Marley inspiration reflects the sour bitterness of several smoked herbs, more like a clue to a very familiar, yet forbidden scent. Unlike Black Afgano (Nasomatto), where the scent of hashish and a burning marijuana bouquet was explored in a heavy and deep herbal ambery context, Jammin' Vibration is only the air with a faint, yet perceptible suggestion evoking several cigarettes on the market that smell like the "real thing" without containing a molecule from Cannabis sativa.
The bitterness of vetiver, patchouli and grapefruit, combined with a transparent rose and freesia contribute to a very original green note, brought by the cassis bud absolute in a spicy peppery context. The perfume sits between 2 very original modern creations, Kelly Calèche (Hermès) and Bang (Marc Jacobs), with their unusual combination of transparent vetiver and peppery notes, while the musky cashmere - salycilate note in the drydown suggests a very familiar scent. Fresh laundry with a herbal infusion, delicately spiced up and modulated by a green tea-bamboo note, Jammin' Vibration combines the lightness of the 90's unisex theme, with the honeyed dry patchouli theme of the 70's. It is salty and bitter like tequila, and its tropical note is the opposite of the exotic theme, so often represented with fruits and sweet frangipani. Bob Marley, the music and the sun have inspired this creation, but contrary to his exuberant personality, Jammin' Vibration is a very civilized perfume like a woody musky skinscent fragrance.
Official notes of Jammin' Vibration (Reminiscence): bergamot, black currant, green notes, cardamom, pink pepper, jasmine absolute, Virginia cedar, freesia, rose, tiaré, white musk, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla.
