Rivière
Rivière by Thameen is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with saffron, moves into rose and patchouli and dries down to oud, leather, cypriol and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
