005 Riviera Absolue

A rush of Mediterranean light, bottled. 005 Riviera Absolue by Bon Parfumeur is a vibrant citrus-aromatic extrait inspired by the exhilaration of driving the Riviera coast with the sea stretching endlessly ahead. Finger lime, bergamot and tomato leaf spark the opening, while black tea, cypriol, incense and ambroxan give it a dry, modern, mineral-woody depth. Created by perfumer Paul Guerlain. The Story Conceived as a coastal road trip in scent, 005 Riviera Absolue takes the familiar idea of a summer citrus fragrance and gives it texture, depth and character. It launched in 2026 as a unisex extrait de parfum, fresh yet substantial, with considerably more personality than a traditional citrus cologne. How It Smells Opening An electric burst of finger lime, Italian bergamot and a caviar lime accord, sharpened by the crisp green edge of tomato leaf so the citrus never turns conventionally sweet. Heart Moroccan neroli adds floral refinement while ginger and cool, aromatic cardamom bring an elegant spicy energy. Dry Down Black tea, cypriol, olibanum, frankincense and ambroxan form a dry, slightly smoky, mineral-woody trail that contrasts beautifully with the luminous opening.
