Do you want to know more about this perfume?
The opening is broad: bergamot, sfumatrice lemon, orange, elemi, pink pepper and juniper berries come in almost at once, citrus and resin at the same time. The heart shifts completely with jasmine sambac absolute, arabica coffee and nut, which is where the roasted bitterness appears. And the base is closed by vetiver, cypriol, Akigalawood and tonka bean, with amber giving it the warm texture that supports everything above.
Riviera Californienne is the amber, spicy eau de parfum from Réservation Parfums, signed by Yann Vasnier. It is the second most concentrated in the collection, with a 24% level stated by the house, and the brand assigns it very high intensity and sillage. The coffee and tonka bean are what set it apart from the rest: no other house reference goes into roasted territory.
It lasts by day and night, and shines from summer into autumn, when the contrast between the citrus opening and the warm base is more noticeable. It layers with Suite 909, from the same house, which it shares Akigalawood, pink pepper and juniper with, and with Bleu Piscine if you want to stretch out the citrus side before the coffee comes in.
