What does Riviera Californienne smell like?

The top is led by citrus, with pink pepper and juniper berry adding a spicy edge. In the heart, jasmine sambac absolute, walnut and Arabica coffee turn it creamy and gourmand. As it dries, vetiver and cypriol give it a woody base while tonka bean softens the sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are rated good by those who voted, though the number of votes is small. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine, with a sweet, spicy character that carries across the board. Xerjoff Naxos and Lattafa Khamrah have a close profile.
