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

Rive d'Ambre is listed as one group of notes: cognac, tolu balsam, tarragon, citrus, amber, mint, bitter orange, bergamot, cardamom and lemon. Citrus notes, bergamot and bitter orange give a bright, zesty lift, and mint and tarragon add a cool herbal edge. Cardamom brings gentle spice, while amber, tolu balsam and cognac provide a warm, boozy sweetness underneath. It is a unisex amber scent with an unusually fresh top.
