Pomelo Riviera

Is the performance a bit rough? Yes. Did I still buy a bottle despite the high price tag? Yes. This is an absolutely beautiful scent, starting with a slightly salty blast of grapefruit and white flowers. The salt comes out more in the dry-down, along with a slightly vegetal neroli, and an absolutely lovely rose peeks out. Citrus doesn't last that long, I understand that, but I wish it was replaced by some other solid, long lasting scents. For me, the grapefruit is there for around an hour, and the flowery salty dry-down tapers down to a skin scent in a few hours, maybe 4 hours if we're lucky. I think this would be a great EDP if they upped the rose here just a bit, and tried to get more performance out of all the flowers. As it stands, it's a very expensive cologne type scent, I was lucky to find 100ml for around 160. I suspect this may be replaced one day by a better lasting summer scent, I just haven't found anything this beautiful. That being said, I will be wearing this a ton this summer as I just can't get over it!

my search for a replacement for the discontinued Sol di Positano by Tom Ford continues -- with the purchase of this new summer love. Pomelo Riviera. LOVE 💙 💛 🧡 The bottle and presentation is Gorgeous! Beautiful blue fade glass w/ gold flakes inside, the white cap with a seahorse on the top, in a gold embossed white box. This is a FABULOUS summer sun beach scent! ☀️ Lots of Grapefruit (pomelo). Has a fresh but spicy tart rind that morphs into the pomelo fruit sweetened with jasmine and orange blossom. Citrusy freshness with orange blossom and hints of jasmine. The dry down pulls just a hint salt and the citrus notes are more noticed again. Well is it similar to Sol di Positano? NO. Lots of grapefruit. It is somewhat in the same vein, but different. Different enough to have it in my collection. Does not smell like Jour d'Hermes, but it has a similar tart grapefruit.

Been looking for the perfect refreshing fragrance to carry me through the hot as hell summers where I live, and this is it. Almost ethereal in its lightness, with the most photorealistic and effervescent citrus opening-- like ripping off the peel of a cold pomelo right under your nose. Are there other longer lasting citruses at a less luxurious price? Definitely. But every other citrus I've tried in the +110 F of my home climate has either dissipated into nothing in 5 minutes, or relied on heavier base notes to carry the fragrance through a longer lasting dry down. In this heat, I much prefer that this leans salty before dissipating completely. Not a revolutionary scent profile, and not a beast for sure, but it's top of its class and makes me feel like a fizzy glass of ice cold pomelo Perrier

This fragrance is a fresh crystalline and transparent grapefruit citrus based scent with a salty sea breeze aspect. It is supposed to evoke the sea air of southern France punctuated by the tangy and fizzy zest of pomelo. The perfect perfume for all fans of sunbathing on the French Riviera who love strolling on the famous “Promenade des Anglais”.🌊☀️🍊🍧 This is a really beautiful summer fragrance but unfortunately performance is not as great as I expected.😤 I had no more than 4 hours of longevity on my skin even when I bundle spray and the scent stays close to the skin after 2 hours. Too bad because this perfume would have been a real masterpiece if the performance was on point. I hope you had better performance than me since it all depends on skin chemistry and climate.😊

About 2 years ago I got a sample set from Atelier Des Ors and while I didn't like the other four fragrances, I loved this one. Since then, I tried many citrusy/salty orange blossom fragrances but NOTHING comes close to this one. It starts with a beautiful, realistic grapefruit that LASTS and never gets overpowered by the other notes. The orange blossom is also very realistic and the jasmine is subtle, neither of them ever turn dirty or sweaty. The salty note smells like a sea breeze. All of these are blended together to perfection. It's expensive, but I did order a FB after finding it on a discount site for 150EUR so that I can still enjoy it this summer <3
