Citrus Riviera

I have a sample of this perfume. It lasts around 8 hours, which, taking into account that it is a very citrus perfume, is very good. With a high intensity the first 2 hours and then at medium intensity. Of course it is a perfume that begins with an important citrus aroma, but soon you begin to feel many nuances in the perfume, the most fruity trees are not sweet, they are like fruity acid, like strawberries, but the most important thing is the aromatic herbal part that will accompany to citrus notes. This set makes the perfume have a very large projection. I want to highlight the delicious olfactory set of citrus with eucalyptus, of course there is much more but it is extremely pleasant. When time passes, about two hours, the citrus fruits lower the intensity, but they always remain as if they were the scrapes of the citrus rinds, on the herbal part, eucalyptus, vetiver, patchouli ... and the floral notes give it delicacy , highlighting the neroli. Unisex? It is totally a perfume that I cannot say is more masculine or feminine, a perfume for those who enjoy its aroma. Does it have peculiarities? I think it is a perfume that does not have particularly strange aromas to highlight in its aromas, to point out something, is that it is a perfume for people who enjoy the citrus and herbal aroma, without more, very fresh, very clean, very pleasant. ..

Citrus Riviera by BDK - A Sunlit Escape to the Mediterranean, a fresh, luminous, and invigorating fragrance, It captures the essence of sun-drenched citrus groves, salty sea breezes, and the lush greenery of coastal gardens. A scent of effortless elegance, it is both vibrant and nostalgic—a memory of summer lingering on the skin. The Perfume Journey - The fragrance opens with a radiant blend of Moroccan neroli, Italian mandarin, and lemon, creating a crisp, sparkling introduction. As it unfolds, the heart reveals Moroccan orange blossom, jasmine, strawberry, eucalyptus, and immortelle, adding floral warmth and depth. The dry-down is soft and sensual, where white musks, Indonesian patchouli, Haitian vetiver, and tonka bean weave a lingering embrace. The Fragrance Vibe - My Story - Leaving Paris, driving south, after reaching Cap d’Antibes, am now in the white house, I find my forgotten feelings, the breeze that freshens the veranda overlooking the sea, the warmth of the garden and the turquoise water gleaming in the pool, am laying under the lemon trees in the shade scanning the blue sky where a few clouds drift, I am lost in thought, the song of cicadas, the laughter of friends, the sun’s rays stroke my face, I am soothed and seduced by the wonder of just being here.

Wonderful freshie. Citrus Riviera (CR) starts with a blast of citruses, mixed with fresh aromatic green notes, & touch of soft white flowers that add beautiful tenderness to the scent. The lemon sourness is softened with the orange note, creating a zesty fresh citrus accord without the sharpness. As it dries down, the water note starts to come forward, giving the scent a watery & little sharp classic aquatic smell. The neroli note is not overt & in the combination smells like a toned down seaweed note. Citrusy, fresh, green, leafy, white floral, aromatic, aquatic. CR is a very fresh scent, mixing citruses, water, & green aromatic notes for a very invigorating scent. It smells so calming & pleasing. It smells like a garden in bloom filled with lemon & jasmine trees with fresh water springs running through it. It is really nice. This is in the vein of Bvlgari Aqva. However, while Aqva is the sea water fragrance, CR is the fresh water, riverside rendition. While this is not a ground breaking scent, which is hard to create with fresh scents to begin with, CR is a very beautiful summer scent that would definitely please any nose. It is just very loveable! Summer time, any age, any sex wear. I "Love" it.

I am in love with this zesty, bright, airy, slightly aquatic sunshine scent. I don't think there are any aquatic notes in there, but since it's like a fresh sea breeze with wafts of tart citrus, it gives off the implication of water. That could be the juices of citrus fruits being squeezed and not sea water. I love how well it is blended, how natural the ingredients smell, and how expensive it feels. It's the high quality that makes it stand out from others with the same or similar scent profile. Yes, I have smelled this smell many times before, but it's usually much more synthetic. This is incredibly refreshing to my nose, and makes me feel like I'm being transported somewhere else. I first tried it over a year ago and have never forgotten about it. I'm not sure why I haven't bought a full bottle yet, but I intend to. Very unisex, straightforward, no nonsense citrus freshie. Full bottle worthy because it makes me feel happy and carefree when I wear it.

Though this is a summer frag, I find myself reaching for this over and over during the winter. The realistic lemon note, combined with an aquatic accord, is as invigorating as a Mediterranean breeze. At $220 new, it’s expensive, but smells expensive as well. I purchased this after asking for an aquatic fragrance at Scentbar NYC (a must-see if you are ever in Manhattan), and while I think the ultimate aquatic for me is still out there, I am more than happy with my purchase and have used up 30% of the bottle after a year of ownership. It just makes me feel happy! I am so curious about the other scents in their Collection Azur that I may even blind-buy once I save up some more cash. I understand Rouge Smoking is “the fragrance to buy” from this house, but I doubt anyone will be too disappointed with this perfume. And no, I do not get the celery scent that others are complaining about— not even in the slightest sense.

Nice overall scent, it includes strawberry and white florals and yet somehow manages to stay completely unisex. It's not your typical summer fragrance, and contrary to the name it isn't dominated by citruses. Very soft, and very....nostalgic? There's a familiarity that brings me back to the 80's but it's hard to put my finger on it. Suntan lotion vibes without coconut, and it puts you in the mood. I can see why some say it reminds them of M Di Amalfi, as they can be cousins, but each are distinct in their own ways. It's performance is mixed, it's not the type of scent profile that favors strong projection. It's more of a short scent bubble type fragrance, minimal sillage and average freshie longevity. I give it a 4 based on longevity and price point, I like the scent but these are some of the factors that don't make it a 5 for me.

Citrus Riviera is perfect for the high heat in the summer and definitely an underrated release from BDK. It opens primarily with a sharp lemon and soft neroli, with touches of sweet mandarin and a slightly earthy fig. It then develops into a soft composition of green, aquatic notes and florals - with a whisper of sweet strawberry. This fragrance is very soft and delicate, which is partly what makes is so pleasant to wear. It’s very smooth and well blended, and the materials smell high quality - however it does not last long on the skin at all unfortunately. Overall, it’s a very enjoyable scent to wear but I wouldn’t recommend paying retail for it simply due to the lack of longevity. However don’t let that take away from the fact that it’s a very good fragrance.

Very good but takes time to really understand like with most niche fragrances the Italian citrus Italian orange and vetiver notes are sharp almost like a sour vibe this throws a lot of people off but after some time its dies down and lifted with sweet strawberry and tonka bean it’s turn from a ok sour smell to a secret blended masterpiece very underrated but the rating threw me off but I have learned to like what I like and try it for myself and I suggest you do the same Smell 9.1/10 Projection 7.8/10 Sillage 7.2/10 Layering 9.8/10 Overall 8.5

First of this is an amazing fragrance. It opens with beautiful citrus fruits together with patchouli and vetiver and of course the florals. Before I got the scent I was scared that the florals would make this fragrance too feminine but that is not the case. The florals help with giving a better depth for the scent without taking over which I haven’t seen many fragrances do. IMO: Scent 8.5/10 Performance: 7/10 Wearability: 9/10 Price: 9/10 (150$ for 100 ml is a steal)

Very beautiful and aquatic - like a breath of fresh air off the amalfi coast (no I have never been there, but you get me haha). It is sooo similar to Replica Sailing Day. I'm surprised this has not been voted in the similar perfumes, so I just did. I get plenty of compliments on Sailing Day, and I'm sure this will get many compliments. It's unisex and you smell super clean, fresh, slightly summery, breezy and most of all aquatic! Love those unique scents.

For lovers of fresh fragrances, Citrus Riviera could be one of the safest and most satisfying choices. I wouldn’t say there is anything truly unique here, but it is very well valanced -bright citrus, clean green notes, a subtle aquatic feeling and a polished woody musky base. It smells expensive and well made, not cheap or sharp like many fresh scents can be. Simple but elegant and very nicely tailored 7/10

A great citrusy-white floral fragrance. Bright at the opening with the with citrusy and green notes. Then the white florals take over seamlessly giving the illusion that the citrus lasts longer than it actually does. I will say, I'm not a fan of white floral fragrances, but this is an exception. Also similar to Rirana Salty Citrus, but not as metallic and sharp with a bit more complexity.

Orange heaven to me, totally uplifting, totally unisex. I see why some people could think it is more masculine but i only like feminine, light scents and i have no problem with this one so i do not think its masculine. Summer, fresh fragrance, would not buy FB for my short summer season in Germany though. Would purchese at Pafory the travel size instead.

Beautiful. I cannot stop smelling this. Incredibly fresh, watery citrus opening softened by a subtle fog accord cocooned by a supremely comforting base of tonka, patchouli, vetiver and just a touch of musk. I reject the narrative that this is a strictly or strongly masculine fragrance and will loudly and proudly be wearing this this summer.

I'm confused by the reviews that say this is a straight lemon citrus scent. I smell something gently spicy right off the bat. I definitely smell the fig, vetiver, and patchouli -- supporting the fresh lemon and mandarin. Leans masculine and the citrus is the star, but there is some depth. Also -- decent longevity for a freshy.

I enjoy this scent, very citrus, while in the dry down I get some sort of animalic note, i belive it’s most likely from the patchouli. I don’t get any strawberry (which i was kinda looking forward to) so that’s kinda sad. I actually think this is not worth the price point if I am going to be completely transparent.

It seems simple... But it isn't... Using this perfume is a real experience. You can't draw conclusions with 1 or 2 sprays... Although it smells divine from the beginning... But believe me... You have to use it to understand what I'm talking about. And whoever does will understand. Very good! ❤️

A beauty. This is a more masculine take on Mandarino di Amalfi Acqua. Very joyful, floral, tranquil, and elegant. Great name for a fragrance as well. As the picture I imagine, is sitting at a cafe, enjoying a ristretto while staring out into the riviera on a warm, but brisk sunny day.

Lemony notes at the opening then fresh green notes with a tiny bit of fruity and floral note for the drydown. That is clearly not a masterpiece but it stands out. The quality of the components are undeniable. A scent for hot seasons. 💜 Unisex 🔥 Hot Seasons 📌 Personal Note: 7.5 / 10

The citrus and fruits are zesty, bright, and refreshing. The base notes keep it grounded. There's a complexity and vibrancy to this fragrance that keeps it interesting, addictive, and very very sexy. I will be buying my fiance a bottle of this asap.
