Aaron Terence Hughes Riviera Maya is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025. Riviera Maya opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Salt, Melon, Pineapple, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Mint. Aaron Terence Hughes's Riviera Maya carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it tropical scent that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, high-quality holiday in a bottle, while others are put off by a cloying, synthetic sweetness and overwhelming saltiness. Definitely sample before buying.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Riviera Maya opens with a bright burst of orange, mandarin, and lime, quickly followed by a dominant tropical fruit cocktail of melon, pineapple, coconut, and banana. A prominent salty accord runs through it all, balanced by a creamy, sweet amber and sandalwood base. A hint of mint tries to cut through the sweetness, offering a slightly green, cooling counterpoint to the warm, fruity heart.
