The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Springfield built Rewind: The Feeling Of The Night as an ode to those specific evenings that replay in memory long after they end. The concept gathers its energy from the zing of fresh citrus, the bite of cracked spice, and the charged electricity of night air. The perfumer approached the formula like a soundtrack, balancing lively top notes against a warm heart, then anchoring the composition in a soft, lingering base. Each ingredient was selected for its ability to capture a flash of sensory memory, the kind that hits unexpectedly and pulls you straight back to a moment, a street, a song. The whole thing reads less like a fragrance brief and more like a memory rewritten in scent form, which is exactly the point.
Working with lemon and tangerine as the lead top notes required attention, since citrus oils can quickly turn sharp or soapy if overhandled. Springfield's team worked to keep both fruits reading as vivid and natural rather than synthetic, then incorporated black pepper oil to keep the opening alive rather than flat. The final version came after careful iteration, with the team chasing that perfect hit of nighttime energy that defines the scent's signature.
The evolution
Since its launch, Rewind: The Feeling Of The Night has become a familiar entry in the citrus-spice corner of fragrance. Early wearers responded to its bold opening and the way black pepper added an unexpected edge to what could have been a typical fresh scent, noting that the combination felt less like a daytime citrus and more like something built for darker hours. The formula has held its citrus-pepper character as its anchor over the years, remaining recognizable from one wearing to the next. On skin, the lemon and tangerine arrive in a quick, juicy burst, sparkling against the pepper's dry heat before the heart notes begin to soften the edges. After the first hour, the composition settles into a warmer register, with the spice rounding out and the base notes pulling everything downward into woods and resinous warmth.
Cultural impact
Rewind: The Feeling Of The Night occupies a memorable spot in the modern citrus-spice category, offering a bold, energetic profile that translates well into evening wear. It reads as accessible and uncomplicated, with a character that lands well for casual outings after dark. The lemon and tangerine lead with a clean, almost carbonated brightness at the opening, while black pepper snaps in early to give the composition its dry, spicy edge.
