floral summer
This is a more floral than citrus summer scent, the floral part is very masculine though. The floral part is almost sweet with a spark of citrus.
It does remind of a french riviera summer in the sense of an euro beach close to some small mountains with lots and lots of vegetation, not much of a desert beach vibe.
A nice change from all the 100000 citrus fragrances out there, smells classy an summery.
Seems like anything Italian from mancera is more citrusy, and anything french is more floral.

The extrait of french riviera
The French Riviera is not easy to define.
It is a place that immediately makes you fall in love, with its warm sand, its crystal-blue sea, its natural finesse that you can feel everywhere, even in the air.
A sea breeze that, although I am used to smell it, looks different... more gracious, more gentle.
French Riviera embodies these aromas, with its freshness, its elegance and its slightly saline touches.
A fragrance with soft, slightly citrusy, marine scents, with a clean, delicate finale.
Beautiful, in a way it transports me to a world of light-heartedness and beauty, irresistible.

Fleeting Aromatic Pool Water
This is as if pool water and spa water came together to have a baby. This is a luxury hotel pool that is outside in the sun, sparkling and crisp. You have just gotten out of a spa treatment and are now relaxing by the pool drinking the citrus infused water. The wind gently blows and brings the sent of flowers from the hotel's carefully curated garden. Its a chlorine scent but not overpowering like the pool you use at the gym. The citrus is lightly sweet and not bitter. Making it bright and refreshing. The florals are gently underneath it all, nothing distinctly stands out but it isn't generic smelling. This is a very crowd pleasing scent but a little bit boring. I say that because there are so many interesting notes listed but everything is so gentle that this fragrance feels very fleeting.

This is a light aromatic fragrance for about a hour or two but then becomes a skin scent. This fragrance also lasted about 4 hours on skin and clothing, which is unfortunately. Usually, when I spray my clothes, I can get some extra wear out of a light fragrance but that was not this case this time. The fragrance is available in one size, 120ml for $190.

Best perfume in my collection,
Absolutely gorgeous perfume, smells like money , yacht trip in dubai mid summer , ocean breezes hitting you while the smell of your sunscreen hits you gently, this is that vibe in a bottle . Also being from mancera means good performance, it has an amazing longevity , tho projection is not as loud as their other fragrances , still , loud enough that people around you can comfortably smell it .10/10

Cheapest vacation ever
Alright, this is my first review. Usually I didn't intend to get very active on parfumo but I cannot help but write about this amazing perfume.

Just to let you know, I am not that long into fragrances, maybe half a year, and this is approx. my 10th perfume so my knowledge is limited. But at least for the past six months I worked myself as hard as I could into everything that is to know and I'd say I know as much as possible after six months haha.

So back to French Riviera.
When I started going into perfumes I was looking for sweet scents that work good at night for partying etc. Then spring and sunshine came and I realized that the 5-6 perfumes that I owned don't suit this season very well so I started looking for citrusy, fresh, aquatic fragrances. After a few weeks I found some nice ones (Versace - Eau Fraiche, Nishane - Ege (also amazing) and Jardin Boheme - Mandarine Fatale) but still I was looking for the (!!) summer fragrance. Somehow I read about Mancera, I liked their bottle designs a lot, had a few in my short list and then bought one sample of Lemon Line and one of French Riviera.
Lemon Line soon became one of my favourites as well but French Riviera just blew me away.
First time I sprayed it I was immediately in the Mediterannean region, the sun was setting, I felt the sand between my toes and somehow also felt the relaxation of a Mediterannean vacation. It was then when I realized how much the olfactory senses relate to my mood and my feelings. I always knew that smell has quite an impact on what we feel and how we feel but I never experienced it to that extend. I instantly knew that this is my new favourite perfume and that this will stick with me for a long time.
The next day I was even more surprised since I woke up to the same scent and still was in vacation, at least in my head. It lasts soo long, especially on clothes that I could smell it the next day just from my shirt that was lying next to my bed. But in no unpleasant way at all. It still had that nice salty/suncreen scent and I fell in love a bit more.

This perfume is wonderful and for me the ultimate summer fragrance.
I doubt that I soon find one that can catch up to this one, at least when it comes to summer fragrances.
It is simply vacation in a bottle.

PS: I am already planning on using in in wintertime when I'm at home and winter depression kicks and am convinced that it will pull me out of the dark winter times and lift my senses every now and then when it's necessary. Maybe I'll report if that works haha.

Smells like sea salt spray hair product with added "tropical" notes. Not worth the hype and not really even worth buying.

It's fine. Opening and dry-down don't wow me. Don't buy this because influencers tell you to. Mancera has better offerings imo.

Very unique fragrance, floral-fresh-aquatic-creamy, and slightly citrus, all at the same time. Not for everyone, but a great perfume!

Worth the hype in my opinion, opens up with some sweet citrus, and then it starts to smell a little salty before going into a sunscreen type of smell

Nothing can compare to this beautiful scent. It is soft, fresh, salty AND longer lasting than any salty fragrances I have tried so far!

Es riecht wie aufgetragene Sonnencreme im Sommer. Ich rieche da nur noch eine leichte fruchtige Note mit raus. Bisschen zu unspektakulär..

Bright and juicy citrus notes with floral neroli and a tiny bit saltiness. In the same league as Mandarino di Amalfi or Note de Yuzu

Milder citrus than I expected, think clean white linen at a beachside restaurant more than salty ocean. Clean, white linen on a sunny day.

A different kind of aquatic, but in a good way. Semi-sweet, salty, with a very nice floral heart. I like it.
