Dolce Riviera

Dolce Riviera, a 2024 fragrance from Reminiscence, is equally woody and musky, with fresh and leathery sides in support.

Aldehydes open it with a bright, sparkling and slightly soapy freshness, like clean linen in the sun. Star anise adds a sweet, licorice-like spice, and hawthorn a soft, almond-like floral note. The base is smooth and clean: white musk and musk create a soft, skin-like warmth, which is where much of the musky character comes from, while sandalwood gives a creamy woodiness and patchouli an earthy depth. The combination of musk and patchouli likely creates the faint leathery impression people notice.

The name evokes the sweet life of the Riviera, and the profile suits spring and summer, daytime and the office, as well as relaxed holidays. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes clean, aldehydic musks over soft woods, and who prefers a fresh, polished scent with a slightly retro sparkle to anything sweet or heavy.
