Olfactive Studio Still Life in Rio is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Dora Baghriche. Still Life in Rio opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Yuzu, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Pepper and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Leather, Rum, and Copaiba Balm. Olfactive Studio's Still Life in Rio carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This lively citrus bomb is a holiday in a bottle. It's a polarizing scent - some smell a cocktail, others lemon cleaner. If you want a fleeting, fizzy, playful summer breeze with a boozy undercurrent, this is your ticket. Just don't expect it to last.

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 fresh, energetic, and casual vibe makes it perfect for relaxed outdoor events and sports. While some find it office-appropriate due to its shorter projection, its boozy and tropical character places it lower for formal settings. The mixed reviews on longevity also suggest it's better for shorter, casual outings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Still Life in Rio opens with an invigorating burst of zesty yuzu, lemon, and mandarin, sharpened by a clean mint and spicy ginger. The heart introduces a creamy, subtle coconut alongside a punch of pepper. The dry-down reveals a warm, boozy rum accord, deepened by earthy copaiba balm and a hint of smooth leather, evoking sun-drenched skin and tropical drinks.
