The Riviera. The Mediterranean fills the horizon. You’re driving along a coastal road with the roof down, feeling free. In this extrait, lemon caviar, zesty ginger and icy cardamom puts jut in your strut, while tomato leaf, neroli and black tea summons an aromatic dance. Frankincense and cypriol offer shade in the sunshine.
Perfumer: Paul Guerlain
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon outdoors, with warmth on bare forearms and conversation close enough to catch the scent. The citrus and tomato leaf keep the mood alert and informal; black tea and incense add a shaded edge beneath the brightness.
How to wear
Its citrus-green profile suits spring and summer, especially warm days when the contrast with cool spice feels most distinct. Start with one or two sprays on skin: the extrait format and substantial base call for restraint. Let it settle before adding more, allowing the tea and woody-incense facets to balance the opening.
Who it’s for
For lovers of citrus fragrances who want more texture than a simple cologne. Crisp vegetal notes, cool spices and a tea-and-incense base will appeal to those who prefer their freshness dry, green and grounded rather than sweet or purely aquatic.

The nose
Paul Guerlain. For 005 Riviera Absolue, he set out to capture the contrast between a cool breeze and sun-warmed skin. Bright citrus, gently spicy ginger and crisp tomato leaf shape that tension, with tea, cypriol and incense giving the freshness a darker foundation.
Collaborators
Ludovic Bonneton, Bon Parfumeur’s founder, supplied the fragrance’s creative starting point: the vivid freshness of a lemon-caviar cocktail enjoyed on the Amalfi Coast. That sensory memory informed the Mediterranean concept developed by Paul Guerlain.
Bon Parfumeur’s story
Bon Parfumeur translates memories, emotions and journeys into contemporary French perfumery. Its numbered fragrances, color-coded olfactory families and three highlighted ingredients make compositions easier to navigate without reducing their creative scope. French manufacture and collaboration with individual perfumers anchor the house’s approach.
005 Riviera Absolue’s concept
The fragrance began with Bonneton’s memory of a lemon-caviar cocktail on the Amalfi Coast. Guerlain translated its startling freshness into a contrast of sparkling citrus, green tomato leaf and cool spice, evoking a breeze against warm skin rather than a purely weightless citrus splash.
Extra info
The featured lemon caviar is identified as an accord, not a declared fruit extract. In Bon Parfumeur’s numbering system, the first digit identifies the olfactory family and the final two indicate the fragrance’s place within it. A perfume-inspired sorbet accompanied its launch celebration.
