A sun-drenched citrus floral built for the south of France. Composed by Ralf Schwieger and launched in 2020, Citrus Riviera opens on bright Italian lemon and mandarin, moves into orange blossom and jasmine, and settles into a soft base of vetiver, patchouli, and white musk. Clean and luminous rather than syrupy.
