Launched in 2025, Riwaya by Gulf Orchid is a fragrance that weaves together contrasting notes to create an engaging olfactory experience. The composition opens with pink pepper and grapefruit, offering a bright and zesty freshness that quickly gives way to the warmth of spices and smoke. At its heart, rose and amber blend seamlessly into a soft, powdery base anchored by musk and vetiver. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a balance between the sharpness of citrus and the comfort of woody and spicy notes.

Application Tips
Apply Riwaya in light layers to allow its various notes to unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are fleeting but bright, so it’s best to focus on the heart and base notes by applying it to pulse points where warmth can enhance the spicy and woody undertones.

The story behind the bottle.
The moment when dusk settles over a city street, where the air is filled with the mingling scents of smoke from nearby grills and the soft whisper of passing cashmere scarves.
