Navitus Parfums Siesta Drive is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Dominique Ropion. Siesta Drive opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Geranium, Juniper, and Mascarpone Cheese, and dries down to a base of Lemongrass, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Frankincense. Navitus Parfums's Siesta Drive carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of citrus, with some finding it a creamy dream and others put off by an unusual musk. If you like your lemon with a side of dessert, this might just be your new obsession.

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.

Its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with a creamy gourmand twist on citrus, make it a bit much for a formal setting or the office. However, its vibrant and appealing character is perfect for casual outings and dates, particularly in warmer weather.

About

Siesta Drive opens with a bright, zesty burst of mixed citruses - think lemon, lime, and bergamot - quickly joined by a playful kick of pink pepper and ginger. The heart introduces a surprising, creamy mascarpone note that rounds out the sharpness, mingling with aromatic petitgrain and juniper. It dries down to a warm, inviting base of sweet vanilla, earthy vetiver, and a touch of mysterious frankincense, creating a fresh yet gourmand experience.
