I like notes with Clean, Fresh Soap. Its well composed scent.

Before I get into the details, fragrantica calls this an “amber vanilla” and I just have to say… what?? No.) Coffee break has coffee, this does not. If you want to keep your collection a reasonable size and are not too bothered with this scent profile, you don't need both. But if you want a coffee REM flanker?

And isn't that funny, how different fragrances from different houses smell more like flankers, compared to actual flanker releases being shilled at the minute! *eyes slowly shift to Angel Elixir*) A bit meh. But I hate lavender, and I can smell it clearly in this, so that might be swaying my opinion. If the initial scent of R.E.M lasted throughout the entire duration of this fragrance, it would be a 10/10.

The most prominent notes at initial spray is lavender, salt, quince and caramel. I would say the lavender is as strong as YSL Libre, so if you are ok with that level of strength you'd be fine with REM. It dries down to a smoother lavender, fluffy powder, tonka, lightly sweet with a browned sugar note.

It's quite cosy and warm, so would probably be better in colder weather. While it isn't very strong it has lasted on my skin for most of the day, and for the cost it wouldn't bother me having to overspray this a bit to smell it well. Not in love though, and not sure I want a full bottle, but I will keep trying the tester in case it grows on me. I love lavender and this is one of my top 5 favourite perfumes ever. I crave it. I want it. Half of the time, I will start off my day with one perfume and end with this one. I LOVE this perfume. I would say it’s more developed, layered and unisex than the rest of ari’s gorg perfumes. It has this first nip of smokey lavender and then a delicious breath-ful of sensual caramel. The body of the scent is salt n pepper but in a smokey way, not a trashy preteen sugar n spice. So delicious, I demolished my 30ml bottle in short time.

When I bought this, I already had Cloud and Thank U, Next. I bought R.E.M. as it had a seemingly nice scent profile and the quality of the aforementioned perfumes is very reasonable. The caramel keeps the lavender from being too fresh, giving it a semi sweet edge. It doesn't mean it's a bad odor; it's actually a little bit sexy and natural smelling. Got this today as a blind buy, and oh my damn. It smells divine. I love Cloud, but since the reformulation or Europe regulations it doesn't smell the same as the first time, which made me so sad. But this is def a shared first place. I thought lavender wasn't for me but this one proved me wrong. SO good! On first spray, it’s all sweet lavender and salt. I’m not usually a fan of sweet lavender but this really does it for me. The caramel and marshmallow do make it sweet, but it’s not cloying. It reminds me of a dessert you’d get at a Michelin starred restaurant. Like a salted caramel and lavender s’more with tonal creme under a salt dome with sandalwood air upon removing the dome. The dry down is like a cozy hug. This type of perfume is not exactly my "style". I prefer gourmands and soapy, laundry-type scents. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try this out.I am in heaven when I wear this. It doesn’t smell masculine to me, but I guess I could understand why some feel it does. The lavender note can be interpreted that way. But to me all the sweet gourmand elements make it overtly feminine. I received a tester of this one and have been wearing it all day. It's quite nice, not my favourite scent, but it's pleasant to sit in. I agree that it leans more unisex than feminine. I really love this. REM is delicate, creamy, and unusual amongst Ariana's fragrance line. The sweetness in it is tempered by this lovely, salty lavender. The dry down is gloriously smooth, creamy, lightly powdery, and musky. REM feels like a younger cousin of Clean Reserve Skin (one of my absolute favorites), but goes a little bit more floral, fruity, and powdery than Skin while keeping those same salty, musky, praline/tonka vibes.
