During a trip along the Ligurian Riviera, Paolo and Tiziana are inspired by a place of natural beauty that combines elegance and the uniqueness of Italian style: Portofino. Walking along the shores of this magnificent village, they remember the energy and magic of the fire lit during the San Giorgio bonfire and reflect on their childhood memories and the sea, which has always been a fundamental element in the important moments of their lives and an endless source of inspiration for their creativity. From this memory, the idea for a new essence was born. The Terenzi brothers are captivated by one of Portofino’s most recognizable features: its crescent-shaped bay, framed by green hills that create a breathtaking view, offering a spectacle of beauty that takes the breath away.
The era of life on the Riviera in the 60s is marked by the elegance of the Italian Dolce Vita and the life of the playboys made in Italy, called Les Italiens, who at the time conquered the Riviera with the shout “Bare feet, jeans, hair in the wind and away!” The picturesque coves and golden sandy beaches became the places where one could live the dream of the Dolce Vita. It was in these locations that celebrities and artists gathered to celebrate and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of these landscapes. During this period, the Riviera was dominated by style, grace, and elegance, everyone wore trendy clothing, and the sense of beauty prevailed, giving birth to a golden era for fashion and lifestyle, with Portofino becoming an icon of elegance and beauty. Elegance became the art of combining style and sophistication in every aspect of life, a visible manifestation of our sense of beauty, a loud statement of who we are and how we perceive the world around us.
The fragrance dedicated to the trip to Portofino captures the essence of this enchanted place, a journey toward beauty, art, and tradition. The name Rivèa is inspired by the term “Rive,” which in Ligurian dialect means “seafront” or “promenade.” Those who experience Rivèa will be transported into an atmosphere dedicated to the Dolce Vita and the greatest beauties of Italy.
The fragrance opens with a bouquet of Bulgarian roses, enhanced by Iranian saffron and Sorrento lemons over a bed of Indian Davana. The generous top rests on an equally rich and seductive heart: Laos vetiver offers an earthy and woody base, while Tigullio seaweed adds a salty hint reminiscent of the ocean’s scent. Ceylon Cypriol and Haitian Amyris contribute musky and woody tones, while Singapore patchouli adds a slightly earthy touch. Finally, grey amber completes the heart with a sensual and enveloping note. The base of this enchanted creation wraps the senses with its persistent, intoxicating warmth. Grey amber returns along with Australian sandalwood, adding a woody sweetness, while Portofino cypress adds a touch of Mediterranean freshness with the echo of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla. Rivèa is the fragrance that captures the soul of Portofino, gifting those who wear it the energy, elegance, and beauty of this enchanting destination. The Dolce Vita in a drop of perfume.
