Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector Riyadh is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Jean Claude Delville. Riyadh opens with Petitgrain, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, Orange, Birch, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector's Riyadh carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Riyadh is classic floral indulgence, but it’s also one-dimensional and leaves some wanting more. Expect a moody rose twist, but it might not hit home for everyone.

About

Riyadh opens with a bright burst of petitgrain and the lushness of ylang-yang, but it quickly unveils the enchanting heart of Taif rose melded with creamy tuberose and sweet almond. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a rich tapestry of cacao pod and warm amber, grounded by earthy patchouli and a whisper of frankincense. It’s an aromatic journey - floral yet woody, light yet intoxicating, echoing the depths of an enchanted forest on a rainy day.
