Revillon R is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1995, created by Maurice Roucel. R opens with Petitgrain, Violet Leaf, Lavender, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Pine Needle, Violet, Geranium, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Revillon's R carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This 90s underdog is still a stone-cold bargain. It's clean, fresh, and surprisingly sophisticated for the price point, offering a violet-led freshness that punches well above its weight.

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.

About

R by Revillon opens with a crisp, aromatic burst of lavender and petitgrain, quickly joined by the green, slightly powdery touch of violet leaf. The heart unfolds with a refreshing blend of pine needles and violet, underscored by a subtle warmth from cinnamon and geranium. It settles into a refined base of soft musk, warm cedar, and a hint of leathery depth, rounded out by earthy moss and fern.
