Riviera Lazuli

This perfume is like a dream, a short dream. It's beautiful and exactly what you dream for but dream unfortunately always end too fast. After I sprayed it a lot of time after like 2-3 hours it turn into skin scent. It still is however a great and simple summer scent. On the opening it smells like an old rich man relaxing on his yacht off the shore of Italy while enjoying a fresh invigorating cup of sgroppino. Later on the dry down it smells like as if the old man return to the shore, still covered by faint scent of lemon, taking a break by burning some driftwoods while enjoying the sunset before he finally went back home.

Fresh, clean, aquatic summer scent with a backdrop of wood and a hint of incense-y smoke. Lasted quite a long time for a citrus centric fragrance. And the bottle is to die for gorgeous. Deep blue bottle with floating gold flecks that land on your skin when sprayed. Just love having it displayed front and center on my perfume shelf. it is like a late afternoon bonfire on the beach. The last vestiges of the day sparkle on the gentle waves as the sun sets on the horizon. Cozied up to the crackling driftwood in the fire pit and cool citrusy breeze brushes against your cheek.

I think this is a really underrated fragrance. This is a citrusy, woodsy, incense-powered fragrance that evokes a feel of being on the beach of a mediterranean island. I really want want a bottle, but haven't yet splurged for a $225 fragrance that's really limited to being a casual summertime use unless you live somewhere like Florida or California. Still, I think this is a great, under-the-radar scent that will allow you to smell good and stand out due to its uniqueness. I love this bright, uplifting, summery fragrance.

My favorite of Atelier Des Ors Riviera line. Fresh, and pretty at every stage. Easy reach, day or night. I've layered with Blue Madeline, quite nice.

This one said “luxury” before I even finished the first spray. Right out of the gate, it’s very citrus-forward - bergamot doing laps while cypress stands there in a crisp linen shirt. The vibe? You’ve just stepped onto the balcony of a five-star European coastal hotel, sunglasses on, espresso in hand, judging yachts you’ll never own. It’s sharp. Like, wake-up-call sharp. The opening has a bit of bite and hangs around longer than expected, but once it finally chills out, the magic happens. As it settles, the fragrance smooths into a gorgeous green, woody situation. Cedar steps into the spotlight, the cypress calms down, and that bergamot sticks around just enough to keep everything feeling light, clean, and freshly showered in a very expensive bathroom. It’s crisp, polished, and effortlessly fresh - like a man who doesn’t sweat, he glistens. Although it’s marketed as unisex, this one leans masculine on my skin, and it absolutely thrives in spring and summer. Outside, in the breeze? Chef’s kiss. I kept catching whiffs of it, and so did the people around me - this thing projects without yelling and lasts a solid 8 hours. Now...the price. Whew. That’s where the fantasy ends. While it smells fantastic and undeniably refined, it’s not “take my full retail money” special. At full price, it feels a little too proud of itself. If I stumbled across it for half off? Sure, I’d happily bring it home. Until then, I’ll keep sniffing my way through greener pastures and more wallet-friendly spring bangers.
