Riviera Verbena

by Patricia de Nicolaï

Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur Riviera Verbena is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Patricia de Nicolaï. Riviera Verbena opens with Mint, Grass, Petitgrain, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Calone, Rose, and Lemon Verbena, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Musk. Nicolaï Parfumeur-Créateur's Riviera Verbena carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper split decision, divisive as hell. Some reckon it's a triumph of sparkling citrus and green goodness, others slag it off as cheap, synthetic, and frankly, a bit too like a hotel soap. That calone note is the main culprit for the fuss, so best try before you buy.

About

Imagine a vibrant rush of bitter lemon, petitgrain, and blackcurrant, sharp and invigorating from the get-go. Then it mellows into a clean, soapy heart of lemon verbena, jasmine, and a prominent aquatic calone note. The dry down introduces an earthy depth with vetiver and patchouli, softened by a clean musk, creating a fresh, green, and slightly woody finish.
