What does French Riviera smell like?

Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.

Neroli and bergamot give a bright, citrus-led start. In the heart, heliotrope, orange blossom absolute and magnolia turn it floral and creamy. Musk and woody notes leave a soft base underneath. Christian Provenzano Crystal Musk and Nino Amaddeo Irrésistible Néroli have a close profile.
