BDK Parfums Citrus Riviera is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ralf Schwieger. Citrus Riviera opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Neroli, and Fig, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Green, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. BDK Parfums's Citrus Riviera carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising citrus blast - you'll either love its sharp, realistic lemon and greenery, or find it smells like toilet cleaner or an offensive celery stalk. Expect a bold, fresh, and distinctly masculine-leaning experience, but don't hold your breath for beastly longevity.

Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and energetic profile makes it perfect for casual and sport settings, though some find it a bit too assertive for close-quarters office wear. While projection is noted to be decent initially, many report relatively short longevity, limiting its formal and date night potential.

About

Citrus Riviera opens with an invigorating burst of realistic lemon and mandarin, brightened by neroli and a touch of fig. Soon, a complex green and aquatic heart emerges, featuring eucalyptus, jasmine, and an unusual rainwater accord. The drydown settles into a subtly aromatic blend of vetiver, patchouli, and musk, with just a hint of sweet tonka bean providing depth.
