005 Riviera Absolue

Bon Parfumeur 005 Riviera Absolue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Paul Guerlain. 005 Riviera Absolue opens with Bergamot, Lime, and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Neroli, Cardamom, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Ambroxan, Frankincense, and Tea.

This isn't just another citrus freshie; Riviera Absolue has a unique, green, almost savoury backbone that sets it apart. It’s got a loyal following for its distinctive character that might not be for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely love it.

About

Imagine a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden, freshly cut with vibrant citrus and a surprising, almost dewy greenness. This scent kicks off with zesty bergamot and lime, immediately followed by the unique, verdant tang of tomato leaf - a bold, almost savoury twist. As it settles, a floral neroli emerges, spiced up by cardamom and a zing of ginger, creating an invigorating heart. The dry down is warm and earthy, with cypriol and frankincense grounding the freshness, while ambroxan adds a modern, airy amber touch, lingering like a soft, sun-warmed breeze.
