French Riviera
Eau de parfum
Solar, saline, vegetal: a Mediterranean breeze on the French Riviera.
French Riviera captures a Mediterranean breeze, at once solar, saline and vegetal. Mandarin, orange and lemon, lifted by ginger and pepper, open the composition.
Salty sea spray mingles with tiare, mimosa, pine and vetiver, before a base of amber, sea salt and white musk. A luminous aquatic, ideal for summer.

French Riviera in detail
Mancera, a house founded in Paris by Pierre Montale, readily combines materials from the East with a contemporary boldness. French Riviera shows a fresher side of its style: an aquatic fragrance evoking the Mediterranean coast, between sun, salt and pine forests.
The official pyramid is very easy to read. At the top, mandarin, orange and lemon are lifted by ginger and pepper. The heart pairs marine notes with sunny flowers, tiare and mimosa, then with green touches of pine needles and vetiver. The base of amber and musk keeps the composition soft and light.
French Riviera is worn by day in spring and summer: on holiday, by the water, or in town once the heat sets in.
Three aquatic fragrances in our catalogue resemble it: Menorca by Memo Paris shares its ginger, lemon and musk; Neptune's Trident Extrait by Argos finds mandarin, vetiver and musk again; Pluie sur Ha Long by Ella K Parfums offers a fruitier aquatic freshness, built around pear and rhubarb.
