The story behind the bottle.
Riva Solare by Bvlgari was launched in 2021 and is a creation of the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This fragrance opens with a vibrant Calabrian bergamot, offering an immediate burst of freshness that sets the tone for the day. As it evolves, notes of Orange Blossom and Osmanthus blend seamlessly into a soft floral heart, while Mandarin Orange adds a fruity warmth to balance the composition. The base note of musk provides a subtle powdery finish, grounding the entire fragrance in a gentle embrace.
Apply Riva Solare in the morning for its bright top notes to shine through the day. The fragrance's base note of musk will gradually emerge as it warms on your skin, providing a gentle yet lingering presence throughout the day.
