Zoé Coste

Zoé Coste was a co-founder of Réminiscence, a French fragrance and jewelry brand established in the early 1970s. Together with photographer Nino Amaddeo, she created the iconic Patchouli perfume, which celebrated the hedonism and adventurous spirit of the era. Known for its bold use of patchouli, the fragrance became a symbol of liberation and counterculture, reflecting the influences of travel and Eastern traditions. Following her passing in 2007, the brand struggled but remains a cherished part of fragrance history.
