The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Calice Becker, Riviera Dream Lime by Ralph Lauren is a fresh take on the classic citrus aromatic genre. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of lime, supported by lavender and conifer notes that add a touch of green freshness and an aromatic edge. As it develops, the composition reveals a subtle spiciness that contrasts beautifully with its bright top notes, creating a dynamic and engaging scent.

How to wear it

This fragrance is best applied in light sprays — a little goes a long way. The lime top notes are particularly bright and can overwhelm if overapplied. For maximum impact, let it develop on your skin for about 10 minutes before heading out.

Flowers inside a bottle of eau de cologne

Calice Becker (Asancheyev-Becker) is a French master perfumer and director of the Givaudan Perfumery School, whose fascination with perfume began as a child asking how flowers get inside a bottle of eau de cologne.

“I like to add a dose of intrigue because nothing catches the attention of a touch of something unexpected.”
