A woody and moorish fragrance.

Another from one of my favourite houses!

This frag doesn't get the credit it's due.

From the opening the neroli and bergamot come through strongly and are predominant and I can smell maybe a touch of lavender.
The woody element is there straight away but not as a smoother pencil shavings scent.

The "dried fruits" notes start to come through quite quickly with a hint of rose in the background... Not sure if anyone else is getting that? Hmmm....I can't really smell cardamom and only a little bit of nutmeg or mace.

The woods and vetiver then become strong and that pencil shaving smoothness is helped by the tonka bean which seems to settle the woods and stop the harshness. Yes it may be a bit synthetic but not as much as some that are triple the price.

I could only seem to get this in a 50ml bottle in Britain which is a shame as this is in my top 10.
I would love to try the Arabian Nights frag too.

Riviera Nights is a well put together
Frag that is one of Bogarts more modern creations but it still has a not to their classics.

A lovely fragrance.

Potent stuff

That's a synthetic fruity smell that did not work for me.

There's also a huge cardamon smell that actually does not smell good.

Sillage, projection and lasting power are great (around 10 hours).

Self-deprecating workhorse

I have been convinced for quite some time that the people at Bogart in Paris are discreetly self-ironic. I mean, to create a perfume that is kitsch-associatively called "Riviera Nights", packed in an unadorned 90s flacon without any conspicuousness - you have to have that much minimal taste first. But less is often more and we all know that Bogart's products always stand for handwriting and certain idiosyncrasies. They haven't really thrown out real flops on the market, according to my perceived truth. But I dare to doubt that "Riviera Nights" must have been a huge success - the company from Paris certainly has quite different market hits in its portfolio than this one. Reason enough to take a close look at it (for this very reason).
To be honest, I wouldn't want to miss it anymore. "Riviera Nights" is a quiet, office fragrance, a light summery perfume without frills. The name does all the associative work. It's a workhorse. But it is anything but a synthetic or even aquatic, because the Riviera Nights has nothing of that. Bogart's typical strong individual scents, all stuck in their place, are well composed, and with an astonishing sense of style that says: don't attract attention - just to attract attention! Dark citrus notes, dried fruit. The spiciness comes from grated nutmeg, and in the drydown a strangely rough earthiness like freshly mixed plaster. I also like his Sillage better than his opening. Only - in contrast to other Bogart traditions - it doesn't last very long on the skin. That may be okay. His field of application should not be.

Scenario for this: Saint-Tropez. Holiday bungalow. Midsummer. He's just coming off the beach in a sweat. She, his secret lover of 25 years, sends him to the nearest Intermarché. Shopping for dinner. Shortly before closing time, he no longer feels like taking a quick shower. Sprays "Rivera Nights" on his white half wet shirt. He smells quite good now. She thinks so. He's leaving. So he can be seen and smelled in the Intermarché. That's what she said to him. Give him a quick one. She's got it all figured out. He thinks so. Riviera Nights.

My 1st blind purchase in 2020 and directly the goal of the month

The really well-balanced mixture of spice and fruit makes this fragrance so interesting, and with a price of under 12, - € you can start a blind purchase. After the first application, the fruity part predominates at first, but after a longer period of time the spicy-classical scent comes to the fore and becomes more and more interesting: Strong but not pushy, classic but not old-fashioned either. To sum up: For me, it was like a hit outside the 16-meter room, volleyed and straight into the corner: Toooooooor!
