What does Riviera Nights smell like?

It opens with bright bergamot, neroli and grapefruit. Nutmeg, cardamom and dried fruits in the heart add a spicy, lightly fruity warmth. Vetiver, Virginia cedar and tonka bean settle it onto a woody, sweet base, and the overall impression is fresh, fruity and slightly synthetic.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, then spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out while still working for daily and office wear. It reads masculine and classic. Carolina Herrera Vetiver Paradise and Avon Homme Exclusive have a close profile.
