Riviera Drive
Riviera Drive by Atelier des Ors is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon, oregano and rosemary, moves into cedarwood, absinthe and patchouli and dries down to cashmere wood, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Oregano Dry, warm and savoury. Rare in perfume and unmistakable when it appears.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Absinthe Bitter wormwood and anise. Green, boozy and slightly wicked.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
