Arabian Dream
Riiffs Momento is for me the perfect blend of oriental depth and sweet elegance, without being overloaded or intrusive. Right after the first spray, I experience an intense scent moment: saffron and mandarin set a distinct accent, which together with a pleasant vanillic sweetness immediately exudes a touch of exclusivity. This combination of fruity and spicy feels modern and suits many occasions for me, especially on cold days.
In the heart note, Momento reveals its expressive side: tonka bean, oud, and rose mix harmoniously and give the fragrance a gourmand depth. The rose is present but does not come across as overly floral; instead, it adds charm and a unique touch to the overall picture, with a great balance between warmth and freshness. I am particularly impressed by how the sweet and spicy facets transition into one another - no transition feels harsh or too artificial here.
What I particularly like is the development on my skin: with each hour, the woody and warm base notes become more pronounced. Amberwood, cedarwood, and caramel provide an elegant, almost creamy depth that makes the fragrance long-lasting. The longevity is absolutely "Beastmode" - I can perceive Momento until the evening, and on clothing, it sometimes lasts even longer. The sillage is strong at first, then pulls back a bit, but remains pleasantly noticeable without being overly dominant.
For me, Momento is not just a dupe or an alternative scent of a well-known luxury perfume. It is distinct enough to be captivating, yet so wearable and pleasant that I enjoy wearing it in everyday life, not just on special occasions, unlike its inspiration. The blend of sweet warmth, rose, and oud feels modern yet timeless. And the fact that the fragrance truly plays in its own league for the price makes it even more appealing.
What makes Riiffs Momento special for me? It is uncomplicated yet full of character, both elegant and powerful - a perfume that firmly follows a well-known model while still managing to surprise time and again. For anyone looking for a special, oriental-sweet, and long-lasting fragrance, I can only highly recommend Momento - for me, it is currently one of the best releases of this year!
