What does Riviera (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens on lime, lemon and bergamot, with cedar giving the brightness a woody footing. In the heart, mandarin orange, lavender and jasmine add a fruity-floral softness, while black pepper and nutmeg bring a little spice. The base settles into sandalwood, oakmoss and gaiac wood.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. Its fresh character suits daytime and warmer weather, and it is made for men. Perry Ellis 360° Red for Men and Zimaya Spectrum have a close profile.
