Ex Nihilo In Paradise Riviera pairs the brightness of bergamot with a floral heart of tuberose, tiaré and peony; it is unisex, though its floral build reads more feminine.

What does In Paradise Riviera smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Fall and winter are chosen far less often.

Bergamot gives a fresh, citrusy opening. In the heart, tuberose, tiaré and peony form a floral core, with fruity and green touches alongside. The base of cashmeran and musk settles it into a powdery, creamy, slightly sweet finish. Louis Vuitton City of Stars and Balmain Extatic Gold Musk have a close profile.
