    The story behind Reminiscence

    Written by Amiek Krakers, founder & owner of The House of Opulence – As a little girl I loved being around my grandmother. She definitely was one of the most elegant women I know, always very stylish and very much ahead of her time. Sitting on her bed, I would watch her dressing herself and putting on her make-up and delicate perfume. None of it too much, always with subtleness. One of my favourites was her beautiful leather purse. I loved going through it, playing with her lipstick; the little perfume bottle; looking at some family pictures that were inside and from time to time steal a little mint. I vividly remember the scent of her purse, a blend of raw leather, perfume, a hint of vanilla and freshness of something minty.
