005 Riviera Absolue

005 Riviera Absolue, a 2026 fragrance from Bon Parfumeur composed by Paul Guerlain, is mainly green, with spicy, amber and citrus sides in strong support and smaller floral and resinous touches.

The opening is bright and unusual: finger lime brings a tart, sparkling and caviar-like citrus burst, bergamot a clean lift, and tomato leaf a sharp, green and slightly bitter vegetal freshness, which is where much of the green character comes from. Ginger and cardamom add a zesty, aromatic spice. Black tea and tea give a dry, slightly smoky and calm note, and neroli a soft blossom brightness. The base is smooth: frankincense, also listed as olibanum, brings a dry, smoky resin, cypriol an earthy, smoky woodiness, and Ambroxan a radiant, slightly salty warmth.

The profile suggests spring and summer, daytime and evenings by the sea, and relaxed occasions. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes green, tomato-leaf freshness with tea, spice and incense, and who enjoys an unusual, sophisticated take on Mediterranean freshness.
