Citrus Riviera is a fresh, aquatic, green scent created for Men and Women in 2020 by perfumer Ralf Schwieger.
Review
This scent is fresh and airy. It feels like a cool breeze at the beach. A blend of Citruses opens this scent with a bright and crisp essence before mellowing into a sort of sweet earthiness with Fig, Orange Blossom, Strawberry and a hint of Eucalyptus. Musk and Vetiver create a delicate warmth to finish the scent. It creates an aroma as if you’re enjoying a refreshing fizzy drink while having a chill beach day. It kind of captures that moment when, maybe you’ve been swimming or sunbathing and exploring the rocks, and as you sit to take a rest, you realize you’re having the best day. It’s invigorating and a fantastic mood booster. It’s a light and airy scent that is perfect for the Spring and Summer seasons, but can help chase away the ‘winter blues’ in the colder months. It has a soft essence that will stay close to the skin, but it will last. It has a very casual and carefree quality to it, but also has an understated elegance that can easily be dressed up.It’s an easy grab for any time, place or occasion. It has a vibe similar to the Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey fragrances.
Inspiration
Citrus Riviera was inspired by the Mediterranean coast. The water, the flowers, the citruses, the wind. It’s a luminous scent that captures the joy of Summers with loved ones.Â
Notes
This scent opens bright and refreshing with Neroli, Mandarin and Lemon. As the heart unfolds, Fig blends with Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Everlasting Flower, Strawberry, and a hint of energetic Eucalyptus. It never becomes too sweet or too floral, but blends together effortlessly. As everything mellows, it stays relatively bright while warming on the skin with White Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver and Tonka Bean. It doesn’t become too earthy, but brings an airy earth tone to the surface. It really captures the joy of summer days at the beach.Â
