What does Rives smell like?

The opening is bright and green, with petitgrain and neroli giving it a clean citrus lift. At the heart, lavender and orange blossom add a soft floral note, while spicy and leathery touches stay in the background. It settles on cashmere wood and white suede, a woody base with a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind, and it leans towards leisure, business and daytime wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, so it reads as truly unisex.
