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

So lovely but so darn intimate in projection, especially for the price. The scent profile is a wonderful fresh citrus with a hint of white florals, but I would have loved it to have been a little louder. But this is a close to skin scent. Yes it is very well done and smells incredible and inoffensive but it is hard to justify it’s luxury cost. I found this also to be true with Nuda Veritas which is also a gorgeous scent profile. Although Pomelo Riviera did bare a little more weight, they were both gone too soon.

I have a love/hate relationship with this one. Makes me so sad that such a beautiful, refined and classy smell has such a poor performance. It smells of fresh airy grapefruit, it makes you travel to the french riviera on a sunny day with a white shirt and sunglasses. Smells very classy and refined. But it fades away quickly :-( Such a shame, cause it costs 200€ and the gold glitter is beautiful.

This is Summer to me. I was in doubt if I should get this or Rose Omeyyade (I've been looking for a rose perfume I love and that lasts for ages) so I went for the latter. Both turned out to last 8hr+ on me, so I was delighted when I was gifted this also. Absolutely perfect for Spring/Summer, definitely citrusy (but not too much or too sharp), salty, cedary on me. I adore it.

Guys it's amazing perfume I used it yesterday for the first time to the gym project very well I still smell it till next day like very fresh palmelo juice with the skin as well plus very nice salty note I can smell very clear smooth watery Jasmin it's the same Jasmin note on nuda veratis it's niche quality guys I'm so happy I got it, was blind buy

more than pomelo i get neroli, very beast mode sharp yuzu and neroli to my nose. very similar to other neroli masterpiece like neroli portofino, haramain neroli canvas and nishane colonize. love the bottle 10 for quality, 5 for uniqueness. its a known DNA but done to perfection

WOW, this is Amazing. If you are a fan of pomelo in scents, you need to try this one. I am putting it on my "to buy" list. A great Creation in line with Atelier Cologne Pomelo PAradise and Heeley Note de Yuzu. Yummy!

Slightly sweet perfect summer scent! It was a love at first smell. On my skin it lasted for almost 24 hours, though faint. Not loud, fresh and light!

A vibrant fragrance blending realistic juicy grapefruit with bright orange blossom and a salty sea breeze for a refreshing experience

reminds me alot of blanc, but it is more green and citrusy, this is a bit colder summer, windy summer, or summer mornings

Citrus day for me today! This is gorgeous. I've tried many a grapefruit frags, usually I get disappointed by the bitterness. Here it's not bitter but it is green or "vegetal" as some have described. I also think the salt note adds a certain unique vibe to it, maybe even a sea salt / beachy feel. I don't mind that, it smells natural, just a touch sweet, plenty tart like a great pomelo. In fact this unique twist is present in Jour Hermes, although in that one it feels a bit more synthetic. Seems to last but I'll have to get back on that one. Great scent and quality overall, great one for the summer if it does last might even be worth the (second hand, eBay) price tag. Lasts well, but the drydown is mostly salty and green, a little soapy.

Very fresh fragrance, perfect for hot days. Summer in a bottle... Holidays, fun and joy. For natural grapefruit lovers. 100% unisex, the longevity and silage are very correct for this type of perfumes. Office compatible. Chic, fresh and sunny French Riviera atmosphere... 8/10 for summer Same vibe of Pomelo Paradis of Atelier cologne, Sel d'argent of BDK, Paradis Sel d'Azur of Yves Rocher, Mediterranean Honeysuckle of Aerin Lauder, ...

This is a really strong like for me. The opening is spot on to the top notes listed. Citrus bomb. When it dries down, I get more green notes and I'm reminded of the bougiest soap you can ever think of. If you're looking to add a summer scent from Atelier Des Ors, I would pick Nuda Veritas over this one. (No, these don't smell the same). But still worth owning both 🤭

Quite an uplifting freshie, with a slight tropical aura. Feels youthful, a lil feminine, and refreshing. The grapefruit is a sweeter citrus and the general profile is clean. Pretty linear imo, but not bad. As any freshie, it doesnt last a super long time, but at least this one is pleasant, and not extremely boring. I like it

Wonderful scent, could be a signature blue-fragrance. The vibe it gives you as a fragrance on a hot summer day is unmatched. unfortunately, it has very bad performance on my skin. If it wasn’t for the performance this would have been top tier. It lasts maximum 2 hours with little to no projection.

Nice. Leaning masculine to my nose because of the fresh spicy notes. It's predominantly the 'breezy summer in the Mediterranean' style of perfume. Sophisticated and natural smelling. Green citrus with a bit of salt and a bit of bitterness. I have smelled something similar before.
