What does Citrus Riviera smell like?
It opens with fig, Italian mandarin orange, Moroccan neroli and Italian lemon. In the heart, Moroccan orange blossom absolute, jasmine and strawberry pull the citrus towards something floral and lightly fruity, while eucalyptus adds a green coolness. The base of patchouli, vetiver, tonka bean absolute and white musk softens it into an earthy, powdery ground.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with office and sport also chosen. The largest share of voters reads it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Biotherm Eau Pure and Jo Malone Fig & Lotus Flower have a close profile.
