Revillon Turbulences is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1981. The fragrance opens with Green, Bergamot, Caraway, and Mint, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Sage, Nutmeg, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Cedar, and Amber.

Our verdict on Turbulences: Acquired

This one's a proper time-capsule, a truly complex classic from the 80s that's as compelling as it is divisive. Turbulences is a spicy, green floral that demands you pay attention, offering a ride far wilder than modern tame trends. A love-it-or-hate-it gem that evokes strong nostalgia.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, long-lasting aroma and strong sillage, particularly in its original parfum concentration, make it less suitable for casual or office wear. The complex, spicy-floral profile lends itself better to special occasions like a sophisticated date night or a formal event where it can truly shine and be appreciated.

About

Turbulences opens with an intriguing kick of caraway and mint, underpinned by a leafy green freshness that hints at what's to come. This quickly dissipates into a full-bodied heart of intense white florals like tuberose and ylang-ylang, spiced with nutmeg and pepper, and softened by powdery orris. The dry down settles into a warm, woody embrace of vetiver, sandalwood, and amber, retaining a cool spiciness. It's an unusual concoction - a floral aldehyde that behaves more like a spicy, woody chypre.
