Lattafa Oud Mood Reminiscence: The Quiet, Silver Oud Mood
The silver bottle in the Oud Mood family is the one for people who like the idea of an Arabian rose-woody but not the weight. Reminiscence — listed on Fragrantica as Oud Mood Silver, launched in 2022 — opens on bergamot, apple and pineapple, moves into rose and smoky birch with patchouli and jasmine, and dries down to a mossy, musky base with ambergris and vanilla. Fragrantica reviewers describe it as fresher and quieter than the original Oud Mood, and one calls it the safest possible starting point for anyone new to this style. It is one of the lighter options in the Lattafa perfumes range, and at £16.99 one of the least expensive.
The Scent Profile
Top — bergamot, apple, pineapple. A bright, fruity start. Bergamot keeps it crisp, apple adds a clean, green sweetness and pineapple a juicy, slightly tropical lift. It is noticeably more cheerful than the rose-and-saffron opening of the original Oud Mood.
Heart — rose, birch, patchouli, Moroccan jasmine. The heart turns darker. Rose gives a rounded floral core, birch brings a dry, lightly smoky, leathery edge, and patchouli an earthy depth. Jasmine softens it. The fruit-over-rose-and-birch combination is what gives Reminiscence its character.
Base — musk, oakmoss, ambergris, vanilla. A soft, mossy finish. Oakmoss gives a green, slightly damp, classic chypre feel; ambergris adds a salty-warm radiance; musk and vanilla smooth it all into a gentle skin scent.
How Reminiscence Compares
Lattafa has not named an inspiration, and there is no strong designer comparison for this one. On its Fragrantica page, reviewers mention Versace Blue Jeans and Burberry Body in passing, alongside other Arabian scents, but no single reference comes up consistently and we would not describe it as a dupe of anything. The comparison reviewers make most is with its own sibling: it is regularly described as a fresher, quieter take on the original Oud Mood.
We should also be clear about the name. Despite the “Oud Mood” branding, oud does not appear in the pyramid on Fragrantica or Lattafa’s US site; the woody-smoky feel here comes mainly from birch, patchouli and oakmoss. If you are looking for a genuine oud, the original Oud Mood is the better choice.
Lattafa Perfumes is an independent UAE fragrance house with no affiliation to, licence from, or endorsement by Versace, Burberry or any other brand named here.
Oud Mood Reminiscence Performance & When To Wear
Performance data on Reminiscence is limited: it has fewer than two hundred ratings on Fragrantica and only a handful of detailed reviews. Those reviews describe average longevity and intimate-to-moderate sillage, with one wearer noting older batches seemed to perform better. We would rather tell you the evidence is thin than invent numbers to fill the gap.
What reviewers agree on is the mood: it is a cool-season scent, best in autumn and spring, with some wearing it through winter. Its quieter projection makes it easy to wear to work and in close company, which is exactly where the original Oud Mood can be too much.
Who It’s For
Reminiscence suits people who want a rose-woody scent with fruit and moss rather than heavy resin and oud — a gentle introduction to the Oud Mood family, or a daytime partner to the original. Fragrantica and Lattafa’s main site list it for men, Lattafa’s US site lists it as unisex, and the fruity-rose opening means it genuinely wears either way; we list it as unisex. If you want a big, smoky, room-filling oud, this is not that bottle.
How It Compares With the Other Houses We Stock
For the rose-and-birch heart taken much further, Bujairami Mad Love (£49.99) builds rose, birch and incense into a dark, leathery oud with raspberry and saffron on top and an Extrait concentration. Reminiscence is the lighter, fruitier and far quieter cousin — the one you can wear to the office.
If it is the fresh-bergamot-over-musk-and-moss side you enjoy, Khadlaj Musk Ice (£29.99) shares bergamot, musk and moss but swaps the rose and birch for lily of the valley, orange blossom and peach, with vetiver underneath. It is cleaner and more floral, where Reminiscence is rosier and slightly smoky.
Where Reminiscence Silver Came From
Reminiscence Silver shares its rose thread with the original Oud Mood (£18.79), but the two go in very different directions. Here the rose sits between crisp apple and mossy oakmoss, which makes it a fresher choice for spring and daytime. The original pairs rose with saffron and oud instead, so it is richer and better kept for autumn and winter evenings. Browse the full Oud Mood range to compare them.
Price, Size & What You Get
Reminiscence comes as a single 100ml Eau de Parfum at £16.99, about 17p per millilitre. It is sold under several names — Oud Mood Reminiscence, Oud Mood Silver, or Reminiscence Silver — and they are the same fragrance. It is not the same as Oud Mood, Oud Mood Elixir or Musk Mood, which all smell different.

Oud Mood Reminiscence FAQs
What does Lattafa Oud Mood Reminiscence smell like?
Fruity, rosy and mossy. It opens with bergamot, apple and pineapple, moves into rose with smoky birch, patchouli and jasmine, and settles into musk, oakmoss, ambergris and vanilla. Lighter and fresher than the original Oud Mood.
What are the full Oud Mood Reminiscence notes?
Top — bergamot, apple, pineapple; heart — rose, birch, patchouli, Moroccan jasmine; base — musk, oakmoss, ambergris, vanilla. That is the pyramid on Fragrantica and Lattafa’s US site. The main lattafa.com page lists a different set, and some UK retailers publish a third version; the sourcing note below explains which we used and why.
Is Oud Mood Reminiscence a dupe of anything?
No credible comparison exists. Fragrantica reviewers mention Versace Blue Jeans and Burberry Body only in passing, and Lattafa names no inspiration. It is best understood as a lighter, fresher relative of the original Oud Mood.
Does Oud Mood Reminiscence contain oud?
Not according to Fragrantica or Lattafa’s US site, which list no oud. The main lattafa.com page does list oud in the base. Either way, the smoky-woody feel comes mainly from birch, patchouli and oakmoss, and it is far less oud-forward than the original Oud Mood.
How long does it last?
Review data is limited. The Fragrantica reviews available describe average longevity and intimate-to-moderate projection — a close, easy-going scent rather than a powerhouse.
Is it for men or unisex?
Fragrantica and lattafa.com list it for men; Lattafa’s US site lists it as unisex. The fruity rose opening and mossy base suit anyone, and we list it as unisex.
How much is Oud Mood Reminiscence in the UK?
£16.99 for the 100ml Eau de Parfum at Khaleej Scents, with free UK delivery and no minimum spend — about 17p per millilitre.
Notes verified against Fragrantica (listed there as Oud Mood Silver, with Oud Mood Reminiscence as an alternate name) and Lattafa’s US site in September 2026; those two agree exactly. The main lattafa.com page lists rose, saffron, cinnamon / patchouli, dry amber / vanilla, musk, oakmoss, oud — a partial overlap — and some UK retailers publish a raspberry-saffron-sandalwood pyramid that we could not match to any brand or Fragrantica source. We used the version on which two independent sources agree. Launch year (2022) is from Fragrantica; no perfumer is credited. Performance is summarised from a small number of Fragrantica reviews and labelled as limited. Written by Shaheen Shah Abrar, Khaleej Scents.
