The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Rivea, launched in 2023 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a fragrance that balances the bright freshness of citrus with the deep warmth of woody and spicy accords. Opening with saffron and lemon, it quickly transitions to a heart of Bulgarian rose and davana before settling into a base of patchouli, seaweed, vetiver, and sandalwood. This composition is both grounding and uplifting, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously earthy and ethereal.

How to wear it

Apply Rivea to pulse points for an intimate experience that evolves throughout the day. The saffron and lemon notes are bright but fleeting, so focus on layering it where warmth enhances its base accords like patchouli and sandalwood.
