Riviera Nights

Love at first sniff and another successful blind buy for me. This fragrance has multiple personality, a mysterious scent that changes its behavior like a chameleon changing its color in varying environment and situation. Its got everything that my nose is looking for particularly that subtle fruity sweetness after it quickly transitions from that bright opening. That's a similar vibe that draws me to Sauvage Elixir and Pasha de Cartier Parfum, simply gorgeous and masculine although this is totally different from the two. With that price point, this is a steal and a sure winner for me as a small time hobbyist and collector. Performance and longevity on my skin are pretty decent. I thought I need to reorder a back up bottle. My rate for this wonderful gem is 10/10 “Let us spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world that will cost you nothing and will get you a totally different kind of compliments” 🙏

I pulled the blind buy cord and it worked flawlessly- this is one of Bogart’s best fragrances. Here’s why: Riviera Nights is a much more sophisticated scent than many others in this house, not that Bogart is juvenile, but they are well known for loud, unapologetic, sometimes synthetic releases. This one is different. Combining spices and vetiver treads a well-worn path, but it's the addition of that fruity top note that is a welcome surprise. It’s similar to the fruit accord in Pure Malt, or even closer yet, Picasso Minotaure, but all similarities end there. This is its own scent, for sure. And I do detect a faint but present Bogart Pour Homme DNA underneath the fruit and spices. Oh yes, it’s definitely a Bogart! Performance is solid but well-mannered. For something this inexpensive, Riviera Nights is a must have if you like the scent profile..

Superb! I had my issues with Bogart fragrances, because too many of them seem to walk along the Le Male vibe, which I utterly dislike. So I was cautious with this one. BUT what an amazing surprise. Riviera Nights is pure class from top to bottom. Its development is changing from wearing to wearing, sometimes sweet, sometimes neroli fresh but mostly its the tremendous interplay between Cardamon and Nutmeg. This combination makes the entire fragrance shine. The way it develops on skin always shows new facets. Fresh spicy, aromatic and sometimes almost smelling like roasted coffee. The tonka is present, yes, but never too sweet. Performance is great and not as aggressive as some other fragrances from this brand. Stunning is the right word for Riviera Nights. Bravo!

Riviera Nights (11C48) - This is so good! I think Jacques Bogart really stepped up their game with Riviera Nights. I don't feel this fragrance has anything in common with the OMS/Silver Scent/Club 75/Pour Homme lines other than the Bogart name. It is a new branch on the Bogart tree. I purchased my bottle in-part because of CGV's YouTube and Fragrantica reviews (both excellent and very accurate) and this scent does not disappoint. In fact it has far surpassed my expectations and I'm very surprised how posh and refined it is for the piddly $16 I paid. I am beyond happy with my bottle of Riviera Nights and I highly recommend checking this beauty out, it's fantastic.

This is, I believe, the most sophisticated Bogart fragrance for men (relatively speaking of course!). A beguiling melange of bone dry spices, slightly sweetened grapefruit, light menthol note, a hint of amber, the usual dog-house tobacco and a subtle vetiver. There's other stuff going on there as well. It manages to keep the powerful Bogart character but with a blend that is far more refined; the edges are softer, the structure more multi faceted. I would say, if you're choosing between Pour Homme, City Tower and Riviera Nights - this is easily the best fragrance. Probably suited to 30 + age range.
