What does Rivèa smell like?

It opens with Bulgarian rose, Italian lemon, davana and Persian saffron, the lemon brightening the rose and saffron. In the heart, Italian kelp, Ceylonese cypriol and Singapore patchouli bring a marine, slightly smoky feel. The base of Bourbon vanilla, Australian sandalwood and ambergris softens and sweetens it.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters spread their picks fairly evenly across all four seasons, and see it working for evenings, nights out, leisure and the office. Gisada Uomo (Eau de Toilette) and Estēe Lauder Very Estēe have a close profile.
