What does Hôtel Riviera smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength with moderate projection. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions it gets the most votes for. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it sits comfortably between the two.

Mint and bergamot keep the first impression cool and green, while mandarin orange adds a fruity sweetness. Orange blossom softens it towards floral and creamy, and cedarwood leaves a light woody, spicy base underneath. Nishane Tempfluo and Le Couvent Eau Aimable have a close profile.
